How much does Prison Call cost?

For just £19.99 per month, you can enjoy unlimited minutes, helping you stay connected with your loved one in prison without worrying about high costs. This is one of the cheapest prison phone call solutions available, making it easier for families to keep in touch, and inmates to call from prison.

How does Prison Call work?

Our service works by providing you with a unique landline number that your loved one in prison can call. When they dial this number, the call is automatically forwarded to your mobile phone at a much lower rate than typical prison call charges. This setup ensures that you pay less for each call, whether it’s a quick chat or a longer conversation. By using our service, you can enjoy cheap prison calls without the stress of high fees and being tied to a landline.

When will I receive my landline number?

Once you sign up and complete your purchase, you'll receive your unique landline number almost instantly. We send it to you via both email, so you’ll have immediate access to start using the service. This quick setup ensures that you can begin saving on prison calls right away.

Canceling your service with Prison Call is straightforward. If you no longer need the service, simply contact our customer support team, and they will assist you with the cancellation process. We understand that circumstances can change, and we aim to make the process as easy as possible for you.

How much money can I save using your service?

Calling a UK mobile from prison can cost around 25p-35p per minute or more. With our service, you can reduce this to just 4p per minute on average, saving you up to 80% on your calls. On average we save our customers around £100 per month. Traditional prison phone call rates can be very high, especially for regular or long-duration calls. Our service reduces these costs significantly, helping you manage your budget while staying connected with your loved one.

How can I get cheaper calls from prison to my mobile?

Getting cheap prison calls to your mobile is easy with our service. Once you sign up, we provide you with a local landline number that your loved one in prison can call. These calls are then forwarded to your mobile at a much lower rate. This setup ensures that you receive all calls at a fraction of the usual cost, making it an affordable way to stay in touch.

Do you really offer unlimited minutes?

Yes, we do! For just £19.99 per month, you get unlimited minutes, allowing you to talk to your loved one as much as you need without worrying about extra charges. It's a straightforward, affordable way to stay connected. Our monthly  plan has a fair usage policy of 3300 minutes a month. Thats roughly 50 hours of talking time. 95% of our customers use less than this, but don’t worry, if you do run over, our top-up rate is charged at 8p per minute. A top-up of £10 will get you roughly 2.5hrs extra talking time. If you wish to add more minutes contact us here and one of our team can assist you.

Do you offer international calls or calls from multiple prisoners?
