Discounted Inmate Phone Calls

We've built direct relationships with facility phone providers, so you get a flat $10 a month for 500 minutes — no local number, no per-minute charges.

Hearing your loved one's voice shouldn't cost a fortune. We've built direct relationships with facility phone providers across the country, so we can offer you their calling plan at a flat $10 a month for 500 minutes — instead of the standard per-minute rate. No local number to set up. No routing tricks. Just one predictable monthly price.

How it works

1

Tell us the facility

We confirm which phone provider serves your loved one's facility and set up your account under our discounted rate with that provider.

2

We activate your $10/mo plan

Your existing phone number is confirmed on the inmate's approved call list at the discounted rate — 500 minutes for $10 a month, no new number required.

3

They call your regular number

Your inmate calls your phone the same way they always have. The call is billed against your discounted plan instead of the facility's standard per-minute rate.

Why families choose us

Standard inmate calls go through a single contracted provider at the facility — usually Securus, ViaPath (GTL), or another company in our provider directory — and those providers charge high per-minute rates plus connection fees that add up fast. Families routinely spend $50–$100 a month just to stay in touch. Because we have direct relationships with these providers, we can offer a flat monthly rate of $10 for 500 minutes instead of paying per minute. Learn more about why these costs are so high in our guide on why inmate phone calls are so expensive.

Calls are one part of staying connected

Regular calls keep the relationship strong between visits, but many families find a combination of channels works best. Our send letters service lets you write letters and send photos from your phone — we print, format to facility rules, and mail them so your words arrive even when a call isn't possible. Care packages let you send facility-approved snacks, hygiene, and essentials that provide comfort between conversations. And if your loved one hasn't been sentenced yet, posting bail through a licensed agent may end the separation entirely.

Frequently asked questions

We've negotiated direct relationships with the phone providers that serve facilities nationwide. That lets us offer their calling plan to you at a flat $10 a month for 500 minutes instead of the provider's standard per-minute rate.

Nothing new. They call your regular phone number the same way they always have, once it's confirmed on their approved call list. There's no new number to give them.

Additional minutes are available at a low add-on rate for that month. Most families find 500 minutes — well over an hour a day — covers regular contact comfortably.
