Fabs,
Unfortunately, it doesnt solve it. The jails all use a correctional billing service type phone. Collect only. No 800s or anything. And they are flat rate, $4-$10 per call, all jails are different, up to 15 minutes. Doesnt matter if you talk 1 or 15 minutes, same price.
Somthing else that sucks is, in order to get more calls from different jails, I have 4 different "local" numbers from 4 different counties, permanently forwarded to my main line. So, when someone calls collect from one of the other counties, I get the flat rate for collect, plus a by minute rate for long distance for how ever long we talk.
I spend about $800 per month on phone bills and I have shaved it to the bone. But, thats how I get business. Thats why I am wishing they could let us take collect calls from a cell phone. I could do away with everything but a cell phone and probably cut it in more than half.
Im afraid Vonage wont work for me.
Thanks
Andy
