To make phone calls at Mobile Metro Jail, the incarcerated person needs a special PIN assigned during booking. They'll also need the last four digits of their Social Security number.

Keep in mind: All calls are outgoing collect calls, so the toll charge goes to whoever accepts the call. Calls are monitored and recorded, so don't discuss anything you wouldn't want repeated.

According to the inmate handbook, telephone time can be ordered through commissary. The handbook asks callers to keep calls to fifteen minutes and stand at arm's length from anyone else using the phone.
