IS InmateAID PHONE SERVICE A GIMMICK???

(we answered you directly earlier today via email.) this isn't a gimmick, it's just smart. we aren't replacing the phone carrier or suggesting we do. The InmateAid phone line is matched to the lowest tariff where your inmate is incarcerated. You still fund the account as there is only one way to get calls, and it's through a monopoly carrier that set the rates without a competitor. For instance, a call from your inmate may now cost $6.00 per 15-minutes, if there is a lower rate, we get you a number that will get it. If there are no savings, we do not issue a number. The cost of the service is completely negated by the new savings in about 3-7 calls (depending on the facility).
