GREENSBORO, NORTH CAROLINA -- How can a rate be $9.95 in the same county same area code, This is not a long distance call? I checked counties clear across the state the rates are cheaper! Even out of state! Law suite is in order!

You are paying for the privilege of voice contact. A portion of the charge goes to the facility or local governmnet that operates it. I would suggest sending letters.

Pay Tel provides voice service to many jails, prisons, etc. The charges are negotiated with the institution and are often used to pay for monitoring equipment, possibly some money for indigent inmates supplies, etc.
