Yes, InmateAid's discount phone service works at facilities across the country including Morgan County Missouri in Versailles.
Here is how the savings actually happen. Every county jail contracts with a phone carrier through a government bid process, and because there is no competition built into that system, the rates end up far higher than they should be. InmateAid works around that by providing a local phone number that your inmate dials instead of your regular number. Since local calls are cheaper than long distance calls on those carrier systems, the rate drops significantly on every call.
The service is not a replacement for the facility's phone system. Your inmate still uses the same phones in the same way. The difference is the number they dial and the rate that gets charged as a result.
Where the savings really add up is for people who talk more than once a week. If you are on the phone regularly, the cost difference between the standard carrier rate and the InmateAid rate compounds quickly. Over the course of a month the savings can pay for the service several times over, which is the point.
If you are only calling occasionally the math is less compelling, but for families who rely on frequent communication to stay connected, setting up the service is one of the most practical things you can do to manage costs without giving anything up.
