Our county sells calling cards in commissary to the offenders so they can make calls. I would call the jail and ask them. The best I remember they were fairly expensive and there weren't many minutes on them but it is better than nothing.

If he is in Harris County (your profile says Houston) that is not true.

You can maybe try going to this site www.correctionalbillingservices.com you can actually sign up and prepay for a service so that your fiance can call your house phone or even your cell phone. All you have to do is register it, I have been using it for the past 2 months and it beats the costly phone cards in there. I usually prepay $50 and its an $8 processing fee, but it gets me almost 8 calls that last bout 15min. Hope this info helps u out a lil.

When the hubby was in Lynn County, he bought calling cards at the commissary that were $10 for 20 minutes. Now, for calling Maine, that was great since the first minute for a collect call was almost $10. No clue what your rates are in state.

Best call the facility and ask. Some contract with a particular provider. For instance, Tarrant County is AT&T and Denton County is InfinityNet. Just a suggestion.

Parker and Jack County are correctional billing services. Yes, call the facility and ask first.
