FIELD: communication equipment. SUBSTANCE: module map of subscriber's identification storing at least some subscriber's information with required communication standard that is common for cellular communication systems of assemblage of types is entered into multimode mobile station. Mobile station also has internal storage to memorize information with required communication standard, unique for each cellular communication system of various types with which mobile station can communicate. If cellular communication system of certain type is chosen for operation of mobile station and entered limited module map carries no required subscriber's information with communication standard required for this type of system then general information is extracted from limited module map of subscriber's identification and used by mobile station in combination with unique information memorized in internal storage to conduct communication. EFFECT: multimode mobile station should support total multimode operation in land and satellite cellular communication systems of various types. 10 cl, 8 dwg, 1 tbl
