Let’s get started!


Why Are Traditional Prison Calls So Expensive?

💰 Prison calls are among the most overpriced forms of communication worldwide.


Many families spend over $200 per month just to receive calls from an incarcerated loved one. The high cost is driven by :


Long-distance fees: If an inmate calls a mobile number, it’s treated as a long-distance call—even if the family is in the same city.

Monopolized prison call systems: Many prison facilities restrict call providers, allowing only certain telecom companies to set the rates.

Additional administrative fees: Some prisons add service fees that make calls even more expensive.

How Prisoncall Fixes This Problem

🔹 Solution: Prisoncall eliminates long-distance charges by providing a local virtual number that inmates can call at reduced rates.
