Do You Have to Pay the $25 Fee If You Only Accept Phone Calls from an Inmate?

No. If you only want to accept phone calls from an inmate — and you're not applying for in-person or video visits — you don't have to pay the $25 background check fee. That fee is required for adult visitors applying for in-person/phone and video visits under Department Order 911, but ADCRR makes a specific exception for phone-only contacts.
