Cheap Prison Calls:
See How Much You Could Save with Prison Call

Prison phone calls have long been a financial burden for families and loved ones trying to stay in touch with someone behind bars. Historically, call rates from UK prisons to mobiles have been notoriously high, with prices reaching around 25p per minute. But with Prison Call, you could be paying significantly less, saving you hundreds of pounds each year.

The cost of prison calls

The cost of making calls from UK prisons has always been a point of contention. For years, families of incarcerated individuals have struggled with hefty phone bills. A typical call from a prison to a mobile phone could set you back anywhere from 25p per minute to 70p per minute. To put that into perspective, a ten-minute phone call would cost £2.50—a significant expense for those trying to stay connected on a regular basis. These prices can quickly add up, placing additional financial strain on families already facing the emotional challenges of having a loved one in prison.

But why are prison calls so expensive? Several factors contribute to the high call rates, including the infrastructure needed to manage secure prison phone systems and agreements between telecommunication providers and the prison service. While the system ensures safety and monitoring, it also leads to inflated prices for prisoners and their families.

How Prison Call helps you save

At Prison Call, we believe that staying in touch with your loved one shouldn’t come with an exorbitant price tag. Our service is designed to help you significantly reduce the cost of prison calls, providing an affordable and reliable alternative to traditional prison phone services. In fact, our customers save on average £100 per year on phone calls alone.

How do we do it? By using a virtual landline that allows prisoners to call you at a fraction of the cost. Prisoners can call the virtual landline number at the same rate they would pay for a standard landline, which is typically much cheaper than calling a mobile phone.

See how much you could save

One of the most powerful tools we offer is our Prison Call Savings Calculator. It’s designed to give you a clear estimate of how much money you could save by switching to Prison Call. All you have to do is enter a few details about your current phone usage, including the number of minutes your loved one spends on the phone each week. The calculator will then show you how much you’d be paying with Prison Call compared to traditional prison call rates.

Imagine this: If your loved one spends just 60 minutes a week on the phone with you, that would typically cost around £15 per week, or £780 a year, at the standard prison rate of 25p per minute. With Prison Call, your weekly cost could be reduced to a fraction of that, potentially saving you hundreds of pounds over the course of the year.

Save big—Save smart

Let’s break down a typical scenario. Suppose your loved one makes an average of three ten-minute calls per week. Under the traditional system, this would cost:

Traditional rate (25p per minute):
3 calls x 10 minutes = 30 minutes
30 minutes x 25p = £7.50 per week
£7.50 x 52 weeks = £390 per year

Now, compare this with Prison Call, where calls to a virtual landline cost significantly less. Even if you’re only saving 10p per minute (and in many cases, it’s more!), the difference is substantial.

Prison Call rate:
30 minutes x 10p = £3.00 per week
£3.00 x 52 weeks = £156 per year

In this example, you’d save £234 per year just by switching to Prison Call!

Why staying connected matters

Maintaining communication between prisoners and their families is crucial, not just for emotional support but also for rehabilitation. Regular contact with loved ones can improve a prisoner’s mental health, reduce feelings of isolation, and even lower recidivism rates. By making phone calls more affordable, Prison Call helps to maintain these vital connections, offering an essential service that goes beyond just saving money.

Switching to Prison Call is easy and hassle-free. There’s no need for complex installations or lengthy paperwork. You can set up your virtual landline in minutes, allowing your loved one to start calling at reduced rates almost immediately. Plus, our customer service team is always on hand to help with any questions or concerns you might have.

Prison Call is more than just a service—it’s a solution to the longstanding issue of expensive prison phone calls. With our affordable rates, easy setup, and commitment to helping families stay connected, we’re proud to make a difference in the lives of our customers.
