What We Do
Locate a phone number that will be a local call from the prison/jail
Set up your local number to ring to your home or cell phone. Your existing number will not change.
Sign up for a local phone number to the prison. When the inmate calls you using the local phone number, the call will automatically be routed to your existing home or cell phone. The cost of the call charged by the prison will be reduced to the lower local rate instead of the high, long-distance rate.
Most prisons and jails in the United States and Canada have considerably lower rates for calls placed to local numbers.

Locate a phone number that will be a local call from the prison/jail
Set up your local number to ring to your home or cell phone. Your existing number will not change.
Step 1: Sign up for a local number. The local number will be set to ring to your home phone or cell phone. Your home or cell phone number will not change.
Step 2: Give the inmate the new phone number. The inmate will be required to add the new number to their list of approved numbers. Corrections Canada will call the local number, forwarding to you, for verification.
Step 3: Ensure that the inmate has funds available on his/her phone card. Collect calls are not possible using a SaveOnPrisonCalls local phone number. When the inmate calls you direct on the local number, the inmate will be charged the local rate of .50 + tax per call (up to 60 minutes), deducted from their phone card.
Step 4: Once the number is approved by Corrections Canada and the number is added to their approved call list, start talking for less!
