A communication control device (500) is capable of communicating with both a portable telephone terminal (100) and a location management device (400) that specifies the location of the portable telephone terminal (100). The communication control device (500) includes: a charge area management storage unit (530) that holds data regarding fee payment areas in which businesses that differ from the user of portable telephone terminal (100) pay the communication fees of the portable telephone terminal, a line connection unit (520) that can connect the portable telephone terminal (100) and the terminal of a communication partner while making the communication control device side the payer of communication fees of the portable telephone terminal (100), and a line connection management unit (510) that, upon accepting a communication request from the portable telephone terminal (100), acquires the location of the portable telephone terminal (100) from the location management device (400) and provides connection instructions to the line connection unit (520) to connect the portable telephone terminal (100) with the terminal of the communication partner while making the communication control device side the payer of the communication fees of the portable telephone terminal (100) only when the location of the portable telephone terminal (100) is contained in a fee payment area indicated by data held in the charge area management storage unit (530).
