Those numbers I listed are simple electronic parts which are voltage regulators. You simply connect one pin to ground, one to power in and the other to power out. So you can put in a wide range of input power usually 6 or 7 to 15v and get 5v out. If your going to be trying to feed power into a phone then you should look into voltage regulation so the phone remains a communication device and not a fire starter.
