Iredell County Detention Center uses NCIC Inmate Communications for prepaid phone and video services. Phones are located in each housing area after booking is complete.

Three-way calls are prohibited. Current rates: $0.16/min for U.S. calls, $0.25/min for Mexico/Canada, and $0.35/min for other international destinations. NCIC video visits run $0.30 per minute. Text messages cost $0.25 each; picture and video messages are $0.35 each. There's no limit on messages or photos, and delivery is instant.

To send money to someone at Iredell County Detention, use one of three options: the 24-hour kiosk in the main jail lobby, phone deposits at 866-232-1899, or online using Facility ID 228687 (online deposits require the inmate's ID number). Money orders and cash aren't accepted by mail or at the front window—stick with the kiosk, phone, or online method. Funds deposited through these channels post to the inmate's account the next business day. Inmates can hold up to $250 in their account and use commissary for hygiene items, clothing, snacks, and writing materials. Enter the person's full booked name and inmate number exactly as shown to avoid delays.
