I have a home phone line is there anyway a inmate can call me collect instead of prepaid?

If you use a collect call option from an inmate, the cost of the call will be at least $15.00. This is the most expensive option out there. There are better ways to receive calls.  If you are concerned about how to handle a pre-paid account, you can get a prepaid VISA card at any grocery or drug store. They work like a credit card and have the buying power of the amount you load on the card.  InmateAid can get you an telephone line that will make all the calls between $0.50 - $3.15 each, depending on the facility where your inmate is incarcerated and the phone provider that they are contracted with. Email us (aid@inmateaid.com) your telephone number, the location of your inmate and we will give you an honest assessment of the cost per call. We will let you know if we can or cannot save you money.
