An apparatus in a user terminal for controlling the admission of outgoing communications, comprising:

• a communication admission controller adapted to create one or more communication admission rules locally in the terminal according to configuring input commands dictating when outgoing communication requests should be admitted or rejected,
• an input unit adapted to receive an input request from a current terminal user for an outgoing communication, wherein the communication admission controller is further adapted to check said communication admission rules in response to the received input request, and
• a communication request unit adapted to send a communication request message towards a used communication services network if the requested outgoing communication can be admitted according to the communication admission rules, wherein the communication admission controller is further adapted to otherwise provide a reject message to the current terminal user if the requested outgoing communication cannot be admitted.
