A mobile communication terminal and an operation control system of mobile communication terminals, in which its operation setting is changed suitably, are provided. The mobile communication terminal provides a GPS receiver and measures the exact position of its own terminal by receiving signals from GPS satellites. And the mobile communication terminal registers plural operation settings corresponding to addresses, and also a management center registers plural operation settings corresponding to addresses. When the mobile communication terminal moves from a first address to a second address, the mobile communication terminal measures its own position and transmits the measure position to a management center via a base station. The management center transmits the information of the second address and its operation setting to the mobile communication terminal via the base station, when the mobile communication terminal does not have the operation setting in its own terminal. The mobile communication terminal receives the information of the second address and the operation setting from the management center via the base station, and sets its operation setting corresponding to the received information by choosing either the normal setting or the received operation setting. With this, the operation setting can be set automatically or semi-automatically corresponding to the position change of the mobile communication terminal. Therefore, it can be prevented that the user of the mobile communication terminal forgets to change its operation setting, and also the bother changing the operation setting for the user can be removed.
