<p>This invention intends to provide a method capable of automatically selecting one system without a large increase of production cost in a dual band mobile phone of this invention having both PHS and GSM functions. First, a common control unit (40) retrieves whether or not a SIM card (19) is mounted on a card mounting unit (9) by a SIM card retrieval circuit (41). Next, if the mounting thereof is detected and storage data is read properly from the SIM card (19), the GSM function is indicated on a mode lamp (17) so that communication is carried out by an operation of the GSM mode. On the other hand, if the mounting of the SIM card (19) cannot be detected or data cannot be read from the SIM card (19), the PHS mode is set up by a mode setting circuit (43) instead of the GSM mode. Then, the PHS mode is indicated on the mode lamp (17) so that communication is carried out by an operation of the PHS mode. A mode set to be operating is memorized in a mode memory (13) and if the power is turned ON, the system starts to operate at this memorized mode. <IMAGE></p> |
