Inmates must initiate the call.

Inmates must initiate the call. They cannot receive incoming calls. Depending upon where there are, there will be ONE carrier that you must use. You can accept a collect call from the inmate, set up a prepaid account or the inmate might be able to pay for their own calls from their commissary account. The carrier's prices are tiered. InmateAid finds the best number to use on THEIR system. In many cases, we can save your inmate $12.00 per call with a different phone number. We will give you an honest estimate of whether we can save you money or not. Email us your inmate's location and your telephone number - aid@inmateaid.com
