Are there unlimited inmate calling plans

There are no true unlimited calling plans in jails or prisons like you would see with regular cell phone service.

Facilities like East Carroll Detention Center contract with one phone provider only (such as Securus Technologies), and that company controls all calling options. Because of that setup, there is no competition and no outside company can offer unlimited calling.

What you may be hearing about are subscription-style plans, not unlimited calling. For example:

• Some Securus plans allow a set number of calls per month (like up to 100 calls), not unlimited 
• Calls still have time limits and restrictions set by the facility 

So when inmates say “unlimited,” they usually mean:

• A plan that feels unlimited compared to per-minute billing
• Or a rumor that gets passed around inside

There are rare exceptions where certain jails make calls free or close to unlimited, but those are specific programs at specific facilities, not something you can choose on your own .

What actually works best:

• Set up an account with the facility’s phone provider
• Use a local number setup (like InmateAid) to reduce long distance costs
• Fund the correct account tied to that number

Bottom line: there is no reliable company offering true unlimited inmate calls. The only real way to save money is by lowering the rate per call, not removing the limits entirely.
