Abstract
The apparatus stores for a first user a number of addresses representing members of one of a number of groups of users, the addresses being configurable by the first user. The first user may send a text message to a service address corresponding to that group of users such that the apparatus replicates the text message to members of that group. Also, the first user may make a voice call to the same service address, the apparatus then initiating an audio conference with members of that group.
