Q: My spouse is at McLennan County Hwy 6 (Waco) area code 254. I use the google voice and have him call a long distance number in Las Vegas (area code 702) that is transferred to my phone (that originates from Austin TX - area code 512). Needless to say I am looking for a more cost effective way to speak to my husband without "breaking the bank" so to speak. InmateAid details a price along with free long distance minutes but why the free minutes and would I benefit from Inmate Aid? My spouse purchases calling cards and dials the long distance phone # to reach me. Our calls cost about $3-$4/15mins
