How Phone Calls Work from Limon: One‑Way Calls, Approved Lists, and the Current Rate Statements

Need to confirm phone rules or billing details? Call Limon Correctional Facility's switchboard at 719-775-9221. The facility is located at 49030 State Hwy 71 South, Limon, CO 80826.

Calls from Limon only go one direction - inmates can call out, but they can't receive incoming calls. They can only dial numbers on their approved phone list. If you're not on that list, they won't be able to reach you.

1. Send your phone number to the inmate in writing - the approved list is managed from their side, so they need your number to add it.
2. Ask them to add you to their approved phone list - once you’re added, they can place outgoing calls to you.
3. Wait for the call to come from them - since incoming calls aren’t allowed, you won’t be able to call in and have them picked up.

Contact rules aren't uniform across the board. Colorado DOC won't place visitors with a felony or misdemeanor warrant on an offender's visiting list - that means no in-person, non-contact, or video visitation. Phone calls work separately through the inmate's approved phone list, so being approved (or denied) for visits doesn't automatically mean the same for phone contact.

The posted rate statements for CDOC phone calls show two figures: a Securus contracted rate of $0.019 per minute (for both debit and collect calls), and an "actual" rate of $0.014 per minute under HB23-1133. The state is directing families to that lower rate. But the published numbers aren't perfectly consistent, so verify what you'll actually be billed before funding an account or accepting charges.

Verify Rates

• ✓ Call Limon Correctional Facility at 719-775-9221 and ask what per-minute rate is currently being applied to phone calls.
• ✓ Ask whether the “actual” HB23-1133 rate is the one you will be billed (since the published statements show a small numerical mismatch).
• ✓ Confirm the rate before you add funds or agree to receive collect calls, so you’re not surprised by the per-minute charge.

Waiting on a call? Send a letter with your exact phone number. Since inmates can only dial numbers on their approved list, a written note is the easiest way to make sure they have the right one.
