A flip type or folder type mobile phone for wireless communication with a base station, which includes a movable part so as to define an open or closed position and an opening/closing sensor for generating an open or close signal according to the open or closed position, the opening/closing sensor being enabled or disabled by an enable or disable signal, whereby the mobile phone terminates a communication channel according to said open or close signal. A communication method is also disclosed and includes the steps of establishing a communication channel between the mobile phone and the base station; and generating a disable signal during data communication to disable the opening/closing sensor from generating the close signal thereby maintaining the communication channel.
