1. A method, comprising:
- receiving at least one registration request to register a user requesting a service in a network entity in an internet protocol multimedia core network subsystem of a communication system;
providing the network entity with control information indicating at least one limitation on a plurality of simultaneous registrations, said control information indicating a restriction on a number of different contact addresses that can be simultaneously registered using a single public user identity;
controlling the registration based on the control information;
checking whether at least one of said at least one limitation on simultaneous registrations would be infringed by allowing the registration; and
