Calls run $0.06 per minute, making a full 25-minute call $1.50. Pre-paid deposits are capped at $200, and funding fees (IVR, website, live agent, or check/money order) are $0.00. The incarcerated person can also transfer money from their trust account into a debit calling account in $1 increments. Keep in mind: calls may be monitored and recorded, are limited to 25 minutes, and can only go to numbers on the offender's Call Allow List. Call forwarding and three-way calling aren't allowed.
