The invention relates to a method for payment in association with a group session in a communication system comprising at least a mobile station, a session control node and an application server. In the method the user in the mobile station selects a group session identifier. A session set-up request comprising the group session identifier is sent from the mobile station to the application server. The mobile station is engaged in the application server in a group session associated with the group session identifier. To the group session belongs at least one other communication device. A payment request message is sent from the communication device to the mobile station. The payment request message is accepted in the mobile station and a payment accept message is sent to the communication device via the session control node and the application server. The session control node submits a charging record to a billing center, the charging record comprising information from the payment accept message.
