A system including a rate governor is provided for monitoring and controlling the amount of communications between a remote communication unit (201) and communication server (220). Preferably, as thresholds are passed, a user is alerted to amounts (time and/or charges) spent or remaining, and once a use limit is reached, further communication is restricted. A main rate governor (234) is maintained at the communication sender (220), allowing access, control and the like by administrators (260) and the like. A further rate governor (209), responsive to the main rate governor, may also be used at the remote unit (201). By means of the rate governors a method is provided for both limiting user or group data transfer beyond a set amount, as well as providing alerts to users is a limit is approached.
