If I can set up a virtual number for each place close to my ministry members it will only cost me $4.99 per month for each number. An average collect call from an institution anywhere in the country is $15-25. So, this could actually work to my advantage. I'm going to try it with my terminally ill member and see if the phone number is a local or toll call. If it's a toll call then I'm back where I began. Cross that bridge etc. |
I am glad to hear that things worked out. Keep doing what you are doing. It is much appreciated.

P.S. Found leviguy's reply in another thread. Sigh... I am thankful for the great service I have experienced so far. (knock on wood) |

my best suggestion to this is...
get your toll free number
so that the call will never be a long distance call anymore.
try this!
i promise this will work!!!
it's like they are calling someone locally.

Wonder if the reason is like in Texas, the jail facility does get a "rebate" if not collect.
There may be other reasons, but I feel that one "hurts" the least to the one in, and the ones out who expect the call. |

This reminds me of the line from Cady Shack...
