In a communications system, globally unique identification of groups of users is achieved without the need for allocating a unique identifier for each group in the global number plan. Communication is initiated from a first user in the network to a first group of users in the network by transmitting a first user-specific group identifier for a first predefined group to the network; determining, in the network, the unique identifier of the first group based on the first user-specific identifier and the unique user identifier; initiating communication with at least one member of the first group. A memory means associates the unique group identifier, the user-specific group identifier and the user identity for each user with each other in such a way that the unique group identity can be determined on the basis of the user identity and the user-specific group identifier.
