Keep privacy in mind: phone calls and electronic messages are commonly monitored or recorded. Any exceptions, such as attorney communications, vary by vendor and facility policy.

The available options depend on the facility.

Some facilities provide lobby kiosks that take cash or card for quick deposits, while others rely on online or phone payments. In some systems, you may be able to move funds between commissary and phone accounts. Check the vendor portal or kiosk screen to see what transfers are allowed.
