A method comprising:

• storing, at a mobile device executing a control logic, a received call address list;
• storing, by the mobile device, a dialed call address list;
• timing, by the mobile device, a duration of calls to generate a total call duration;
• determining, by the mobile device, that the total call duration has reached a predetermined value;
• and
• restricting calls at the mobile device, wherein restricting the calls comprises
• restricting a dialed call by comparing a dialed call address to a dialed call address list stored by the mobile device, and blocking the dialed call if the dialed call address is not included in the dialed call address list, and
• restricting a received call by comparing a received call address associated with the received call to a received call address list stored by the mobile device, and blocking the received call if the received call address is not included in the received call address list.
