1. A method comprising:
managing a communication setup according to a first communication mode between terminals in a telecommunications system, the managing comprising:
obtaining, by a first terminal participating in the communication, a communication mode change request to switch from the first communication mode to a second communication mode; and
switching the communication from the first communication mode to the second communication mode;
wherein:
the first communication mode and the second communication mode are different communication modes in a set comprising a voice communication mode and a text-based communication mode, wherein the voice communication mode is a two-way or a one-way voice communication mode;
obtaining the request comprises, at the first terminal, generating the communication mode change request so as to transition from the first communication mode to the second communication mode;
the communication between the first terminal and a second terminal uses a communication link; and
the method comprising, at the first terminal, obtaining quality measurements of the communication link and generating the communication mode change request on the basis of the communication link quality measurements.
