This is an example of actual savings on collect calls in Ohio using GlobalTelLink. A long distance collect call costs $5.95 per 15-minute call. With a local phone number, the cost of the collect call is now only $1.75 for a 15-minute call. Consider one call a day at $5.95 per call, that amounts to $178 a month. Reduce that per call charge to $1.75 per 15-minute call, and the monthly cost is only $52 -- a savings of $126 for the month on collect calls. Then adding in the cost of the local phone number of $15 a month, you would be saving $111 a month. Collect call rates vary throughout the United States and can be up to $20 or more per call, especially if the collect call is coming from out of state. How do I know how much I can save? When you receive a collect call from a loved one in prison, there will be a recording from the phone company who services that prison. Listen to the recording and be ready to write down their phone number. That recording will also allow you to press a number to get the maximum cost of the call. Write down the rate. There is usually a connection charge, a first-minute charge, and then a per-minute charge thereafter. Figure out how much an average call would be. Then call the phone number that was given on the recording and ask the rates for a local call. If a local call is substantially less, then you will save money on your collect calls by getting a local phone number. Ready to get started? Sign up today.
