Ally Inmate Telephone Services
InmateAid does NOT replace the NCIC service; it just makes the calls through them cheaper by making the call LOCAL.
We have two plans, both cost you $19.95. Month to month, you get 300 minutes per month. If you pay quarterly, you get 1000 minutes per month. Additional lines are only $12.95 per month and you get the same amount of minutes.
COST COMPARISON - Why this makes sense...
15 minutes long distance call is $17.30
15 minutes LOCAL call is $2.30
Get an InmateAid LOCAL line for $19.95
300 long distance mins (20 calls) costs you $346 a month
300 local mins with InmateAid costs $46 + $19.95 = $65.95
YOU SAVE $280.05 per month; $3,360.60 per YEAR

Here's what you'll need to do -
Preferred Option: Have your inmate purchase calling cards within the commissary. Give your inmate the new local line and they will be able to call you directly and bypassing the need to deal with ALLY/NCIC altogether.
If your inmate does not have the benefit of a calling card option within the commissary, then you will need to prepay the account at 800-943-2189
