A method of communicating user participation status information for a communication event in a communication system is provided. The method comprises: transmitting a group communication event connection request from one user of the communication system to a plurality of second users of the communication system; detecting if at least one of said second users has established a communication event connection in response to receiving the request; generating a notification message indicating the participation status of said at least one second user, wherein said participation status indicates if said at least one second user has established a communication event connection in response to receiving the request; and transmitting the notification message to at least one other of said second users. Aspects of the invention include the participation status comprising determining the progress of a communication event, i.e. call in progress, call not in progress, ringing, transferring file, or file transfer complete, and wherein the at least one other second user has not established a communication event connection (i.e. not participating). Thus, the invention allows members of the group who are not participating in a group comms event to monitor the participation status of a group communication event.
