TelMate Inmate Calling
TelMate Inmate Calling
TelMate Inmate Calling was acquired by GTL and is now ViaPath, which charges about $6.00 per 15-minute call from the jail. We can save you $3.00 per phone call with a phone number matched to the lowest rate offered (if yours is not already at the lowest price). Folks who speak to their inmate several times a month will benefit greatly. However, if you are speaking once a month, this is not for you.
Instant activation, there are no contracts and the service is month-to-month, you get up to 1000 discounted minutes per month on the cheaper line (no-rollover minutes). But, you will have to place funds in Telmate or your inmate's commissary account to get the $3.00 per-call savings.
COST COMPARISON - Why this makes sense...
15 minutes call to your number is about $6.00
15 minutes call to OUR number is about $3.00
1000 long-distance mins (67 calls) will cost you either $402 per month or $201.00 a month - depending on YOUR number
InmateAid costs $19.95 to save $201.00 PER MONTH
