A user initiates a group call from an initiating communication device to a plurality of group call recipients' communication devices. Then, a processor circuit determines a wait time for commencing communication of the group call according to a predetermined function. The predetermined function is based least in part on status information for at least a portion of the group call recipients wherein the status information includes a likelihood of participation in the group call. The status information used as part of the predetermined function may include various factors relevant to the likelihood of or expecting timing of a group call recipient's joining the call. Perceived delays can be further reduced by storing group call media prior to sending the media to or playing the media at a particular group call recipients' communication devices.
