Phone Cards Ideal
for Jail - Cheaper than Making Collect Calls
Loved
one in jail? Hearing your
voice and knowing you are there to support them is probably the
next most important thing—to a loved one in jail—than
being released.
Unfortunately,
their “one call” is most likely going to be a collect
call, and a very expensive one at that.
You will receive the bill! In fact, some report single calls, lasting
a mere 15 minutes, costing anywhere between $3.00 and $10.00.
It doesn’t have to
be this way!
Buy a prepaid phone card online and give it to your loved one
in jail. Rates from
0.9¢/min.
Of
course, facilities have their own rules and regulations about calls
(number/day and duration), but you can quickly see just how expensive
a collect call can be.
Before
buying a prepaid phone card, however, call the jail where your loved
one is being held and ask if phone card usage is permitted. If yes,
buy a phone card online from a trusted retailer
and you will receive a phone card PIN and dialing instructions
via email. This is something you can share with your loved
one during a call and the next call they make will be a lot less
expensive (up to 95% less).
