Cheap Prison Calls in Australia

Prisoncall gives you a fixed local landline number to receive cheap prison calls. It keeps call costs low for the inmate and lets you conveniently answer on your mobile.

Prisoncall lets you receive cheap prison calls from your loved one for one simple flat fee. Many other providers offer free sign-up, but then charge per minute, often costing $60 or more for just 90 minutes of talk time. Most customers who switched to Prisoncall tell us they were spending over $500 per month on top-ups with other services. With Prisoncall, customers save more than 70% on average each month, with predictable pricing and unlimited minutes. NO credits, NO constant top-ups. Our numbers are registered with Telstra, so there's far less risk of rejection during prison verification. Additionally, our call service ensures 99.9% uptime and maintains consistent call quality.

Once you subscribe, your dedicated local Prisoncall number is ready within minutes. You'll need to share this number with your loved one so they can register it with the prison.

Upon successful order of your Prisoncall plan, we will issue a Prisoncall number within minutes. Once you receive your Prisoncall number, the number is already registered with the local phone network (Telstra) and active. Give this number to your loved one, and they will get it registered with their prison phone system. This usually takes between 4 - 7 days for most prisons. Once registered, your loved one will be able to call the Prisoncall number and you will receive their call directly on your mobile.

Most of our customers choose to keep their existing Prisoncall number after a transfer. It's convenient and ensures their loved one can still reach them from the new prison while they get settled. The cost may be slightly higher if the new prison is in a different exchange area, but many customers prefer continuity while their loved one finds their feet. If call costs increase significantly at the new prison, we'll provide you with a new number matched to the new prison's local exchange, completely free of charge. Your old number stays active for 15 days so no calls are missed during the transition. Just log in to My Prisoncall to request a prison change.

This means cheaper calls for your loved one and zero risk of call rejection. Safe, secure, and built specifically for Australian families.
