If your man is in the same state as you, I believe you can get a cell phone with a local area code and prefix to where he is housed, which will make your calls cheaper.

I live in Oregon and I have a cell phone with the area code and prefix nearest his prison. We pay $1.75 for a half-hour call.

Good luck!

Peace~

Maybe try to change your phone number to the area code for the prison. That will help a lot.

I did get a local cell phone number. I have to wait for approval from GTL and he has to put it on his list. I see advertisements for something like $100 for unlimited calls for 6 months us that true?

No, the calls are via internet. I use it with my computer but you can also plug the device into the wall and use it with the phone. For more details, I would recommend you their website, just enter "magicjack" on google.

I know about magicjack. I was wondering where are your calls from like what state. Or does the jail use global tel link. My calls are from CT and the only provider is GTL
