A system as recited in claim 11, wherein the at least one network device has at least one corresponding entry in the management database, the system further comprising a second network device that has at least one corresponding entry in the management database, wherein the user of the first at least one network device authorizes transfers from the at least one corresponding entry in the management database to the at least one entry in the management database corresponding to the second network device. 15. A method of communications usage management for multiple networked devices in a telecommunications network, comprising: storing communications usage attributes in a management database for each networked device, the stored communications usage attributes defining a plurality of criteria for allowing, forbidding, and limiting access of each networked device to the telecommunications network, wherein said plurality of criteria comprises a plurality of bins of air time associated with each networked device, and wherein at least one bin of time is limited by a predefined time period, allowing or prohibiting communications therein; interfacing at least one networked device as a system management device operable for accessing the management database to configure the communications usage attributes for defining the plurality of criteria of others of the multiple networked devices; and computing the communications usage time for each networked device on the telecommunications network with communications usage software operable with each networked device to provide an accounting of usage minutes for each of the stored communications usage attributes with respect to each of the criteria for allowing, forbidding, and limiting access of each networked device to the telecommunications network, wherein multiple devices, each corresponding to at least one user may purchase a quantity of units, the units being redeemable for services on the communication system, wherein a user may cause units to be transferred to another user. 16. A method as recited in claim 15, wherein said storing step organizes the plurality of criteria in a data structure of the management database to provide a plurality of bins of air time associated with each networked device according to an unrestricted bin, a restricted bin, and a forbidden bin. 17. A method as recited in claim 16, wherein said storing step associates the unrestricted bin with communications which the user may access on an unrestricted basis. 18. A method as recited in claim 16, wherein said storing step associates the restricted bin with communications to which the user has limited access. 19. A method as recited in claim 18, wherein said storing step stores a plurality of restricted bins. 20. A method as recited in claim 16, wherein said storing step defines a forbidden bin for communications which the user is prohibited from using in the absence of special authorization with the interfacing step. 21. A method as recited in claim 16, wherein said computing step computes the usage minutes associated with each of the bins of allocated air time for each networked device. 22. A method as recited in claim 15, wherein the communication system supports games between a plurality of users, and airtime minutes are used as prizes in the games. 23. A method as recited in claim 22, wherein at least one of the users participating in the game is the communication system operator of the telecommunications network. 24. A system for communications usage management of multiple networked devices in a telecommunications network, comprising: means for storing communications usage attributes in a management database for each networked device, the management database using the communications usage attributes for defining a plurality of criteria for allowing, forbidding, and limiting access to each networked device to the communic
