No, all of the phone calling cards available for use by inmates must be purchased at the commissary from money on their inmate trust account. If you are long distance you might look into our Discount Telephone Service. We are able to cut the prices of phone calls for about 80% of the situations. Send us the name of the facility and your phone number, we will assess the situation and give you an honest estimate of call prices with or without us.
