A mobile communication apparatus (MCA) comprises a memory (MEM) for storing data (CDATA) relating to the coverage area (COV) of a mobile communication standard according to which the mobile communication apparatus can operate. The mobile communication apparatus (MCA) includes an interface (INT) for taking data (PDATA) from the exterior which data relate to the geographical location (LOC). The mobile communication apparatus includes an indicator (IND) for indicating whether the mobile communication apparatus can be used or not (U: Y/N) based on data (CDATA) relating to the geographical zone and data (PDATA) relating to the geographical location. Such an indication makes it possible for the user to deduce whether, in the case where he is unsuccessful in establishing a communication, a displacement in the proximity will help him to establish the communication. Besides, the indication whether the apparatus can be used or not may be produced in a relatively short period of time. Thus, the mobile communication apparatus (MCA) described above provides better user satisfaction.
