Inmates are allowed to purchase calling time, however if you want to receive calls from your inmate you must fill out the same form as the visiting application, the only difference is you will not complete the background check and fee. This process can take several weeks before you obtain approval.
The inmates custody and phase level will determine the number of calls and the duration. The majority of inmates are allowed at least one 15 minute call per day, increasing as they get to phase three where low and minimum custody offenders are allowed unlimited 15 minute calls. Detention inmates are only allowed a single ten minute call per week.
