The invention discloses a communication method of a dual-mode terminal, including: a Mobile Switch Centre (MSC) sends a message containing calling party information to an access functional entity of a High Rate Packet Data (HRPD) network via an InterWorking Solution (IWS) after receiving an initiated paging to a dual-mode terminal in the HRPD network; the access functional entity of the HRPD network sends a message containing the calling party information to the dual-mode terminal; the dual-mode terminal performs a subsequent communication according to the received calling party information. In the invention, upon receiving initiated paging from a dual-mode terminal in an HRPD network, the MSC sends a message containing the calling party information to an access functional entity of the HRPD network via the IWS, complexity of message processing is decreased, time of message processing is reduced.
