The invention relates to the field of communication, and discloses a network selection method for a double-mode terminal and a double-mode terminal. In the invention, in the network selection process of the double-mode terminal, the access technologies of two network systems supported by the double-mode terminal are completely separated, and the network selection process is concurrently initiatedin the first network system and the second network system, thereby respectively completing network selection under the condition of a single access technology. The two access technologies are separated, so that the network selection process can be conducted under the condition of a single access technology all the time, thereby effectively shortening the network selection time and residing in thecell capable of providing normal services as quickly as possible. Meanwhile, the access technologies of the two network systems are completely separated, thereby preventing continuous alternation between two access technologies in the network selection process of the double-mode terminal and enhancing the stability of the device.
