Call Rates

Phone Call Rates

The cost of the calls is set by the contracted phone provider. In addition to the quoted rate of the call, applicable taxes and fees may apply. Rates subject to change.

Rates for calls from Tennessee state prisons through GTL:
Local Calls:  .07 per minute
In-state calls (intralata):  .11 per minute
In-state calls (interlata):  .16 per minute
Out-of-state calls:  .21 per minute

How Can I Save On Calls From Prison Inmates?

If the prison offers a lower local rate, sign up for a local phone number to the prison. When the inmate calls you using the local phone number, the call will automatically be routed to your existing home or cell phone. The cost of the call charged by the prison will be reduced to the lower local rate instead of the high, long-distance rate.
