What's the best why to help an inmate call family members ...not just one

If your inmate calls are routing through a long distance number to you, the VERY best way is to get a line that is matched to the rate center of the prison.

If your inmate calls are routing through a long distance number to you, the VERY best way is to get a line that is matched to the rate center of the prison. The prison phone companies normally charge much higher rates for long distance calls versus local calls. We can get a better rate through this matching process. Our fee is $19.95 which is covered by the savings in about 4-5 calls in most cases. Depending on the number of times that your inmate calls you in a month will determine whether this service is beneficial to you. There are no contracts or long term commitments, just a straight-forward way to beat high priced phone calls.
