Inmates make outbound calls. It is the responsibility of the inmate to add your number to his list. Depending on where he is incarcerated, you might have to set up a pre-paid calling account with the prison telephone company. If that is the case, you will have to fund this account for your inmate to call you. If you are long distance, the calls will range from $5-15 each; InmateAid has a Discount Telephone service that you can enroll in, it provides you with telephone number that will be local to the prison and make the calls about $1.65. Let us know if you would like more information about it or how to sign-up, email us at Aid@InmateAid.com and we will help.
