Why are the phone calls so expensive? Why is my boyfriend at smith state prison?

The calls are expensive because it is set up with only one provider. No competition makes it easy for them to charge higher-than-normal rates. It is predatory pricing, but there is nothing you can do about it except check to see if there are better rates with different telephone numbers. That is what our Discount Telephone Service does, it takes the second-guessing out of it. If you provide your telephone number and the location of your inmate, we will give you an honest estimate of whether we can make the calls cheaper for you.
