other then us accepting collect calls? Like pre-paid deal for cell phones. For the "Department of Corrections" in Northern calif, conscallhome, is a verizon site, and requires a $39.00 activation fee, any others that are known about out there?
Can he only call collect? I am not familiar with state prisons and the phone systems. I can tell you lots about the Federal phone system. If he can only call collect, I have no advice. If he can call regularly if he has money on a phone account then it may be cheaper if you have a "local" number.

I live in Southern calif, my guy is in Susanville, ca, I have heard of these pre paid collect call agencies, some are fraudulent, others require me to fax a copy of my phone bill,(I only have a cell phone) most say that they do not cover the area that Susanville is located in. I have spent 3 days trying to locate a legitimate service that will allow me to put a deposit towards collect calls at a discount rate, but I cant find a company that covers the California Correctional Center(Susanville), looked under some reviews under "globaltelllink.com" one review said she deposited 25 bucks, received one call from her man, and all monies were gone, she tried to add more money, the company told her her card was denied, all awhile deducting money out of her account. My question is, Is there a pre-paid collect call legitimate service out there that covers CCC(susanville)?

Can you clarify what you are looking for? Do you live in the States or elsewhere? If you just need a "local" number so it is cheaper for him to call?

there are all sorts of companies that you can do a "pre-paid" collect calling plan by credit card deposit, but I can not find a company that covers California Correctional Center" also known as Susanville State prison, is there another name, for that Prison, I am totally frustrated, my pen pal is now in the process of having a hip replacement, and would like him to be able to call, and I only have a cell phone.
