Method of configuring a mobile terminal ( 10 ) in a telecommunication network ( 20 ) as a function of the geographical position of that mobile terminal ( 10 ), the network ( 20 ) being divided into geographical cells each corresponding to the coverage of a base transceiver station adapted to exchange data with the mobile terminal ( 10 ) by radio, the position of that mobile terminal ( 10 ) being defined continuously while it is operating by location data that is a function of at least one base transceiver station, the method being of the type in which at least two separate geographical zones (Z 1 , Z 2 , Z 3 ) are defined and at least one particular mode of operation of the mobile terminal ( 10 ) specific to each zone (Z 1 , Z 2 , Z 3 ) is defined, in which method: each zone (Z 1 , Z 2 , Z 3 ) is geographically defined by location data that is a function of a set of at least two base transceiver stations contained in the zone (Z 1 , Z 2 , Z 3 ), the location data for the zones (Z 1 , Z 2 , Z 3 ) is stored in a location data memory ( 30 ) in the network ( 20 ) and the particular modes of operation of the terminal ( 10 ) specific to those zones (Z 1 , Z 2 , Z 3 ) are stored in a configuration memory ( 32,12 ), the location data for the mobile terminal ( 10 ) is compared to the location data for the zones (Z 1 , Z 2 , Z 3 ) to deduce in which zone (Z 1 , Z 2 , Z 3 ) the mobile terminal ( 10 ) is situated, the particular mode of operation specific to a zone (Z 1 , Z 2 , Z 3 ) is applied as soon as the mobile terminal ( 10 ) is situated in that zone.
