1. A method for performing communication using either a public wireless network or a WiBro in a mobile communication terminal having a WiBro communication unit and a public wireless communication unit, comprising the steps of:
- performing data communication using the WiBro network through the WiBro communication unit in a WiBro service area;
when exiting the WiBro service area, suspending the data communication and storing data communication related information;
monitoring whether the mobile communication terminal has reentered the WiBro service area;
when it is determined that the mobile communication terminal has reentered the WiBro service area, restarting the suspended data communication using the stored data communication related information, whereinthe data communication related information is at least one of a data communication processing rate, a name and an address of data, and a portion of the mobile communication terminal in which data has been stored.
