The answer depends on where you live relative to the facility. Prison and jail phone carriers charge different rates based on whether the receiving number is local to the facility or long-distance.

If you live in Arkansas and your number is already local to the Wynne area, you may already be getting the lower in-state rate. InmateAid can still potentially reduce that further by identifying whether a local forwarding number would trigger an even cheaper rate with whatever carrier Cross County uses.

If you live outside Arkansas, your number is being treated as long distance and you are paying the higher rate. In that case, InmateAid's service provides the most significant savings by giving you a local forwarding number that routes calls to your phone at the in-state rate. That can cut the cost of calls roughly in half, depending on the carrier at that facility.

To get a specific estimate for Cross County Jail, reach out to InmateAid with your phone number and the facility name. They will assess the carrier, the current rates, and give you an honest answer about what savings are possible before you commit to anything.
