A mobile communication terminal and method of indicating speakerphone mode
thereof are disclosed, by which a far-end user can be informed whether a
speakerphone mode of the mobile communication terminal is entered. The
present invention includes a radio frequency part communicating with a
base station, a microphone/speaker inputting a voice of a first user and
outputting a voice of a second user, an input unit inputting a command
for activating/deactivating a speakerphone mode and a command for making
a call to the far-end user or answering a call from the far-end user, and
a controller transmitting a speakerphone mode information to the base
station using the radio frequency part via a reverse channel if the
microphone/speaker is used according to the command for activating the
speakerphone mode. Accordingly, the first user is able to inform the
second user that the first user is using a speakerphone regardless of a
status of the call connection, that the user is making a call or that it
is before answering an incoming call.
