Yes, Telmate, which operates through GettingOut.com, is the phone carrier at Winston County Jail in Alabama. Every call your boyfriend makes from that facility runs through their system.

If you are paying more than $3.00 for a 15-minute call right now, InmateAid can get that rate down to $3.00 or less. The savings come from the same place they always do with jail phone carriers. Telmate charges different rates depending on the number being dialed, and InmateAid identifies the number that triggers the lowest available rate for Winston County specifically. Your boyfriend still uses the same facility phones and calls still run through Telmate. The only thing that changes is the number he dials and what it costs.

For someone who is disabled and on a fixed income, this is not a small thing. Four months of calls at inflated rates adds up to real money that you should not have had to spend. Every call going forward at the lower rate is money that stays with you instead of going to the carrier.

Getting set up is straightforward. Call or email InmateAid at aid@inmateaid.com with Winston County Jail as the facility and your current phone number. The team will confirm the savings available for that facility and walk you through the setup. If the numbers do not work in your favor, they will tell you that before you spend a dollar.

Do not go another month paying more than you have to. Reach out today.
