A method and a platoon manager for enabling a first wireless device located in a first vehicle to communicate over a cellular network when the first wireless device has no connection to the cellular network. After identifying a vehicle platoon to which the first vehicle belongs, a relay vehicle is found in the vehicle platoon where a second wireless device is located that has a connection to the cellular network. The second wireless device is then instructed to act as a relay to the cellular network for the communication with the first wireless device by means of a wireless Device-to-Device (D2D) link between the first and second wireless devices.
