Can inmates make collect calls without a prepaid account?

Your inmate can call home by calling collect but AT&T does not have the contract with the jail, you will be paying GTL for this collect call. Please be mindful that this is the most expensive way of receiving and inmate call, it will cost at least $14.99 per 15 minutes.  GTL has a prepaid option through their website. The cost of the calls vary depending upon where the call connects. If you are inter-state long distance, the cost of the call will be between $6-9 per 15 minutes; intrastate long distance is between $4-7 per 15 minutes; and the cheapest way is a local number where the 15 minute call is about $1.65 per 15 minutes. Depending where you are, you can see that IF you have a local number the calls are the best price option.
