Inmate Phone Calls

My number is local but the rates are still way too high, is there another option?

I had paid for a number from you, then I got an email saying my number was already local number. When he calls it would be a 800 number or a local number. Can u help me I rather pay less what im paying now and I live couple of blocks away.

The service at the San Joaquin County Jail is Securus.
