A communication method for providing a client terminal (10) with information on a local service provided by a service provider (20, 20'). The service provider is associated with a beacon (22, 22') radiating (1-2) a beacon identifier and the client terminal is associated with a community (16) of terminals. The client terminal detects (1-4) the radiated beacon identifier and utilizes it in a request for service details to a local service server (30). The local service server (30) which utilizes the beacon identifier to determine the requested service details and the client terminal's entitlement to the local service. The local service (30) server transmits (1-14) the service details to the client terminal. Information on the client terminal's entitlement to the local service is transmitted (1-18, 1-18') to a presence server (40), which relays such information to other terminals (12, 14) of the community (16) associated with the client terminal (10).
