Each inmate has a billing cycle for their phone use. It begins on the date of their internal approval to use the Trulincs system. It can be any date of the month and the renewal is on that same date the following month. If your inmate's date is on the 15th, then on November 15th, they will get 400 minutes to span until December 15th when they would recharge for another 400 minutes. With this question, InmateAid is offering

All TDCJ state prison facilities, where Wheeler (Texas) is affiliated ,use SecurusTech. The price for a call to any number in the state of Texas is about $4,00 (for 15 minutes). We can save $1.00 per call with one of our numbers (that would call-forward to yours).  If you want Wheeler (Georgia), they also use Securus. The price for a local call is $1.95, all other calls are $3.15. We can save you $1.20 per call with an Alamo Georgia

It can be a great deal or it could be no savings at all. We would advise you to email us the name of the facility and your phone number. We will give you an honest estimate of the possible savings.

There are three Moore County Jails, one in TX, TN and NC. They all have different carriers. Your number is in Colorado and in all cases we can get you a better rate, but the savings vary. Please let us know if we can help you further.

The number provided is active and operation when it is emailed to you. You must give your inmate the number - if you would like a coupon code to send the number via postcard or letter, please let us know we'd be happy to provide one at no charge.

You must listen carefully to the recording and see what that prompt number is. One of the choices will be to connect the call, but one will be to reject and/or block the call. If you block the calls, you will need to contact the counselor at the facility to get it lifted.

If the inmate has full privileges and money on their books, they may call anytime from 6am to 9:30pm in most facilities

Most juvenile facilities limit the phone and visitation to immediate family members only. If that is the case in Oregon, you will have to go through his parents to get information or permission for contact while he is detained.

It is not a scam. You are asking because you are hoping there is a better way, a cheaper way.  Most times there is a better way. To understand our service, you have to understand how the prisons and jails do inmate calling. EVERY facility has only ONE service that has the contract to provide calling for inmates. InmateAid does not replace that service. We make it cheaper to use by assessing the call prices by area code. We get you

Yes, in fact inmateaid was created specifically for federal inmates. The service will save about $45 per month
