Abstract

A communication terminal and a method for initiating a communication link from a communication terminal to a remote party, where the method includes sensing input of an address number for the remote party. Upon sensing the input of an address number a plurality of selectable items, representing different communication channels usable for setting up a communication link from the terminal, are presented on a display of the terminal. A navigation tool can be used to change selected communication channel, such as from voice call to messaging, after which setting up of a communication link using the selected communication channel can proceed.
