Thanks for sharing the rate......I was not sure what it was exactly. Yes, it can and does add up quickly.

When I looked up CURE I think they said it was like 3.50 for collect calls. Check out their website and you can maybe make a difference. C.U.R.E.......curenational.org

I'm paying 1.55 for connection fee and 16 cents a minute.
For some reason PSC charged me $10 for a 26 minute call. I get no where when I call them. They said they only charged me $6 for that call. When I heard the amount it was 18.00 on my account then he called back after 26 mins because we were disconnected then it was $8.00 left on my account!

I hope the new system on August 23, 2007 works out much better. I hate the 8$ processing fee they are now charging to add $50 by credit card!

Some information regarding new pre-paid accounts through ICSolutions:
This is what I found out when I called:

When you call, no Matter WHAT facility, you say "NH Department of Corrections". They will start the process by asking your name and phone number and address.

They charge $4.95 for processing fees for amounts under $50. If you add $50 or more onto your account, they waive the Processing Fee.

They can't tell me how much the calls costs. They only said that for 30 miles...from my house to the facility that with $50 I can have 22 calls that are only 15 mins long. If I go over, it starts with-drawing funds automatically from my account, but they couldnt tell me how much the system charges for a minute or connection fees.

I'm very confused & frustrated and I'm gonna call back later...

Just an FYI US Cellular has a local NXX for Berlin. I had my number changed so it is local to Berlin. Once ICS takes over I will only pay .50 to connect and that is it because it is a local exchange

If you have US Cellular, consider changing the number it will save on cash. P.S. it is LEGAL for them to call cells
