Abstract

The present invention simplifies the setting up of a connection to a candidate party from a first portable communication device (10) associated with a first party in relation to a session between the first and a second party (12). As the first and the second parties engage in a first communication session, the first party receives an electronic message (M) from the second party and determines if the message is a message associated with the first session comprising a contacting identity for reaching the candidate party. If the message is such a message the contacting identity is extracted and the first party is offered to connect to the candidate party. If the first party accepts the offer, a connection to the candidate party is initiated using the contacting identity.
