It depends on a number of factors - What facility is your inmate in? Is it a county, state or federal facility? Where are you (your area code and NXX numbers, which are the second set of three numbers)? Once we area able match the rate center of the prison to your phone number we can determine locality. Local calls are almost always less than long distance except in some states where Securus has the contract; and they are making the local calls a lot more expensive than the long distance calls. InmateAid will do the research and give you an honest assessment of your options and a pretty accurate quote of the cost per call.
