A radio communication method for a radio communication device having a first communication unit and a second communication unit includes determining whether a connection between the radio communication device and a local-area radio network is in a difficult state while the radio communication device is connected to the local-area radio network by the second communication unit, obtaining position information through the started first communication unit, reading out communication set information recorded with the obtained position information that records communication set information, and the position information obtained from the base station at a position connectable to the local-area radio network associated with the communication set information relating with each other, and detecting a connectable local-area radio network based on the read communication set information when the communication determination unit determines that a connection between the radio communication device and a local-area radio network is in the difficult state.
