The Real Cost to Receive Calls from Arapahoe County Jail (Rates & Fees)

Arapahoe County Detention Facility uses GTL for phone services and video visitation. GTL is the company you'll deal with to set up accounts, add funds, and troubleshoot if calls won't connect or charges look wrong.

Arapahoe County lists local inmate calls at $0.16 per minute. International calls run $0.60 per minute. Keep those numbers in mind when budgeting - especially if your loved one makes longer calls or reaches out several times a week.

Arapahoe County offers two ways to receive calls: prepaid (AdvancePay) or collect. AdvancePay is the prepaid option, and it runs through ConnectNetwork. Start by creating a ConnectNetwork account, then add money so your loved one can call you without relying on collect calls.

Note: AdvancePay costs are set by each correctional facility, so rates and fees can vary. Before you add funds, double-check the current rates shown for Arapahoe County inside your ConnectNetwork account.
