How it works

1. How does kira's local number work with federal prisons

As you know each domestic call you make from federal prison will cost you an average of 23 cents per minute or more and international calls will cost you an average of $1 or more per minute. In the federal prison if you use your 300 minutes for domestic calls at a rate of 23 cents it will be costing you $69 a month, but with Kira's special deal you will be billed by the prison for a local call of 6 cents a minute. This equals $18 per month and it is a huge savings since most inmates pay for phone calls from their commissary account, the inmate only need to transfer $18 into their phone payment account each month to pay for their calls home. Signing up for Kira's local number is very easy with our online or 24 hrs live customer service. Most prison numbers are available same day and if they are on back order it takes 7-10 business days.
We are in no way electronically manipulating the phone numbers, this in no way violates the BOP policy PS5264.08 and your calls are still being strictly monitored.

2. How does kira's local number work with county jails and state prisons

In the county jails and states prisons a 15 minutes calls can cost the inmate as much as $15 or more, but by using Kira's local telephone numbers, the mandatory phone providers for your facility (Global tel link, IC solutions, Correctional billings, etc.) will charge you for a local call which ranges from 6-8 cents a minute. the inmate will use Kira's number to set up a prepaid account with the phone company the prison has a contract with in order to call home.
The mandatory phone providers have an exclusive control over these calls by charging extreme high rates, and the inmate and their families and friends are forced to pay these outrageous prices.
Once you determine that your specific facility allows prepaid accounts with the mandatory prison phone providers then, you can start saving money with Kira's local numbers, it's very easy with our online or 24 hrs live customer service. Most numbers are available same day and if they are on back order it will take 7-10 business days.
