How to Pay for Phone Calls from Suffolk County Correctional Facility (Securus Options)
Suffolk County Correctional Facility uses Securus for inmate phone calls. That means any payment or billing setup you do for phone calls will go through Securus and its account options.
AdvanceConnect is Securus's prepaid calling account. You add money upfront, and calls draw from that balance. It's a straightforward way to control spending - load what you're comfortable with, and that's your limit.
Tip: Want clear spending limits? Prepaid is the simplest approach - add what you can afford and stop there. Check Securus's phone product pages for current rates and signup steps.
Securus also offers Direct Bill. With this option, you receive calls and get billed monthly for the charges. No need to load funds first - you pay after the fact based on actual usage.
Note: Direct Bill feels easier day-to-day since you're billed monthly. The tradeoff? You lose the "set a balance and stick to it" control that prepaid provides.
The choice comes down to control versus convenience. AdvanceConnect (prepaid) lets you fund the account first and manage spending by keeping the balance where you want it. Direct Bill (postpaid) means you receive calls now and see charges on a monthly bill. Think about how predictable you need your phone costs to be. For specific rates and enrollment steps, check Securus's phone product pages.
