A method of providing a contacts list for a mobile telecommunications device is described. The method comprises: establishing a set of contact details, each entry within the set comprising a communications address of a remote telecommunications device, a user identifier for the user of the remote device and an indicator of a type of communication data that the remote device supports; determining a desired type of communication data for composing a communication to be sent from the mobile telecommunications device; selecting a subset of entries within the set of contact details according to each entry's compatibility with the desired type of communication data to be sent; and outputting a contacts list for use in addressing the communication, the contacts list comprising the subset of entries and being readily distinguishable, thereby assisting the user in their selection of a communications address for a remote telecommunications device which supports the desired type of communication data.
