1. A method for minimizing current consumption in a multimode terminal, which includes first and second modems supporting different communication services, when a handover is performed, the method comprising:

  • detecting, by the first modem operating in a first communication mode, a time point of the handover according to a signal from a first communication network and then transmitting a detection result;

    receiving a Handover from Universal Mobile Telecommunications System Terrestrial Radio Access Network (UTRAN) Command to the first modem in response to transmission of the detection result; and

    powering on, by the first modem, the second modem through a communication path interconnecting the first and second modems to switch the second modem to a second communication mode in which communication is performed through a second communication network.
