A communication method for implementing dual card dual standby dual pass, wherein the method is applied to a terminal supporting dual receive single transmit dual card dual standby single pass DR-DSDS, the terminal comprises a first subscriber identity module SIM card interface and a second SIM card interface, the first SIM card interface is configured to communicate with a first SIM card, and the second SIM card interface is configured to communicate with a second SIM card, and the method comprises: when the terminal is in a first communications connection, receiving, a paging request for setting up a second communications connection, wherein the first communications connection is a voice call related to the first SIM card, and the second communications connection is related to the second SIM card; and when the terminal receives the paging request for the second communications connection, if the terminal has a to-be-sent voice packet of the first communications connection, delaying, by the terminal, responding to the paging request for setting up the second communications connection; or when the terminal receives the paging request for the second communications connection, if the terminal has no to-be-sent voice packet of the first communications connection, responding, by the terminal, to the paging request for setting up the second communications connection; determining, by the terminal, whether the second communications connection is a voice call related to the second SIM card; giving, by the terminal, an incoming call notification of the second communications connection when determining that the second communications connection is the voice call related to the second SIM card, where before the giving an incoming call notification of the second communications connection, a priority for sending an uplink data packet of the second communications connection by the terminal is higher than a priority for sending an uplink data packet of the first communications connection. when the terminal is in a first communications connection, receiving, a paging request for setting up a second communications connection, wherein the first communications connection is a voice call related to the first SIM card, and the second communications connection is related to the second SIM card; and when the terminal receives the paging request for the second communications connection, if the terminal has a to-be-sent voice packet of the first communications connection, delaying, by the terminal, responding to the paging request for setting up the second communications connection; or when the terminal receives the paging request for the second communications connection, if the terminal has no to-be-sent voice packet of the first communications connection, responding, by the terminal, to the paging request for setting up the second communications connection; determining, by the terminal, whether the second communications connection is a voice call related to the second SIM card; giving, by the terminal, an incoming call notification of the second communications connection when determining that the second communications connection is the voice call related to the second SIM card, where before the giving an incoming call notification of the second communications connection, a priority for sending an uplink data packet of the second communications connection by the terminal is higher than a priority for sending an uplink data packet of the first communications connection.
