Method for managing an electronic group comprising two or more group members (2), all members, using, at least for setting up such a new group, mobile terminals (1) which are capable to mutually exchange, via a short-range communication link (3), relevant terminal, user and/or group codes. During a group constituting session in which the members are physically in each other's vicinity, i.e. within the reach of the short-range link, at least one member of the intended group, acts as a group representative (2*) collects, via the short-range link (3), from all relevant members, their user or terminal identifiers, called member identifiers (M1, M2, M3, etc.). A group token (T) is constituted by the group representative (2*) or his/her terminal, including a group identifier (A), the latter being transmitted, via the short-range link, to all members. After the group constituting session the group representative contacts, via any communication link (4), a group facilitating server (6) and stores into it said group token (T), including the group identifier (A) and all relevant member identifiers (M1, M2, M3, etc.).
