You can also try to make an arrangement so that only a percentage of your commissary funds are taken, instead of all your funds take at one time.

The prices are posted and there are at least two pricing tiers based on where the inmate is calling. The following three things will determine how much an inmate phone call will cost: Where you are located; Where your inmate is located, What type of phone number you have.
