is there any phone service other than the rip u off Global Tel? I already use Google voice as a local phone number which brings the cost down a little bit for me. However, Global Tel is such a rip off that it would be wonderful to have an alternative option for consumers such as myself to boycot them all together.

Wherever GTL has the contract, it is a monopoly. The only way around their high rates is to get a local line from InmateAid.com. Our lines will cut the price nearly 90% per call. Boycotting is not an option because even with our service you will have to pay them for the number to work. It will save you hundreds of dollars per month.
