A method of enabling a mobile phone to manage the minute usage of a mobile phone subscriber. The mobile phone contains a database with multiple records for people and/or businesses known to the user. Within each record, the user may define a minute limit and specify an enforcement action that will be implemented if the minute limit for that record is exceeded during the billing period. The enforcement actions include displaying an informative message that the allotted minutes have been exceeded then allowing the call to continue, or suspending minute usage for the duration of the billing cycle for the record in question. When an incoming call is received or an outgoing call is requested, the sum of the minutes used of the record is compared to the pre-set minute limit of the record. If the minutes used exceed the pre-set minute limit, the pre-set enforcement action is implemented.
