MOBILE TERMINAL AND MOBILE TERMINAL CONTROL METHOD

It is possible to provide a mobile terminal in which information associated with communication can be obtained when no communication connection with a communication request destination is established upon an emergency or business-purpose communication request. When it is decided that communication connection requires a time even if a communication request is made to a telephone number registered in a station selection information table (901) stored in an information storage unit (130), a control unit (200) instructs a broadcast reception unit (170) to receive broadcast according to station selection information registered corresponding to the telephone number in the station selection information table. Moreover, upon reception of a response signal indicating that communication connection is disabled, re- transmission is retried up to a predetermined number of times.
