A method for completing a call in a cellular communication system to a mobile station which is part of a user group is disclosed. First, a user group identification code is assigned to a first plurality of mobile stations, wherein said first plurality is less than the total number of mobile stations in the system. A page message from the cellular system to the user group is transmitted using the user group identification code when a terminating call has been requested to the user group. A user group specific page indication is then generated at the first plurality of mobile stations in response to receiving the page message. A page response message is then transmitted to the cellular system from mobile stations whose users acknowledge the page indication. Finally, a channel assignment for the call is granted to the mobile station which sends the first received page message received at the cellular system.
