Abstract: The invention generally relates to managing communications in a communication device. Especially the invention concerns prioritising the communications. The objects of the invention are achieved by determining a priority value to counterparts of communication (101) and by allowing the user to select a priority level or “mode” (102). The information relating to the counterparts are processed or given to the user on the basis of the priority value and the mode (106, 109, 120). The user can easily change the currently applied mode and thus adjust the information flow to be suitable for each situation (102, 110). The counterpart may be either a recipient or a source of communication. The invention is advantageously applied in mobile communicators.
