Inmate Phone Calls

Am I responsible for letting the inmate know to call and what number to call? If so, how?

Yes, you are responsible for getting the number to your inmate. You can use one more "expensive call" to relay the number, you can try to contact the facility to see if they will pass it along (the rules prohibit it, but some of the COs will if you're nice on the phone) or mail the number in a postcard or letter. We offer a free postcard, just email us at aid@inamteaid.com and we'll send you a coupon code.
