What your ex got from us is a telephone number that makes the calls from your inmate less expensive. We are not replacing the service at the jail, you still pay them for the calls but with our number the calls through their service is generally about $4-5 per call cheaper. The cost of our service includes the number and forwarding minutes of the call to the line that you provide. It does not affect your current number. The savings vary in every situation. Send us your telephone number and the name of the facility and we will give you an honest estimate prior to signing up.
