How much does it cost to send a message on getting out?

Answered by Douglas Hiatt

To leave a voicemail message for an inmate through the Getting Out service, the cost is approximately $1.25 per message, although this amount may vary slightly. This service allows friends and family members to connect with inmates by leaving them a voice message of up to 3 minutes in duration.

To send a message, simply dial 1-866-516-0115 and follow the prompts provided. The system will guide you through the process of recording and sending your message to the intended inmate. It’s important to note that each message is charged separately, so if you wish to send multiple messages, the cost will be incurred for each one.

While the cost of sending a message may seem relatively low, it’s worth considering the potential expenses that can accumulate over time if you frequently communicate through this service. It’s always a good idea to plan your communication budget accordingly to avoid any surprises.

Additionally, it’s important to keep in mind that the rates and fees associated with inmate communication services can vary depending on the correctional facility and the service provider. It’s recommended to check with the specific institution or service for the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding costs.

As a personal note, I understand that staying connected with loved ones who are incarcerated is crucial for maintaining relationships and providing support. However, the costs associated with inmate communication can add up quickly, which can be a burden for some individuals and families. It’s important to explore alternative methods of communication, such as letters or scheduled visitations, that may be more cost-effective in the long run.

I hope this information helps clarify the approximate cost of sending a message through the Getting Out service. If you have any further questions or need additional assistance, please feel free to ask.
