how do i get collect calls from the county jail
The only way to get collect calls is if you have a landline. No collect calls can be had via cell phones. Some of the jails have the phones set up so that you can provide a credit card to recieve collect calls. With this scenario, the company that has set up this service bills your card in $25 increments. The calls are expensive and upwards of $5 per min. But if you just have to speak with the defendant in jail, this is your only option.
Most bail bonds agents have a landline set up so that they can receive collect calls from the jails. If they are not in the office, they just forward the calls to their cell phone which still enables them to recieve the collect calls.
There’s also the possibility that your cell phone carrier will allow collect calls to come through, you must first get their permission and the set up might be like mentioned before, where you must place credit in the account for the collect calls.
