How it works (USA)
- Sign up: Choose the USA option and enter your US number (+1).
- Get your UK local number: We assign a standard UK landline (01/02) that forwards to your US phone.
- PIN approval: You request the prison to add the UK local number to the prisoner’s PIN list (we don’t do this on your behalf).
- They call as normal: Your loved one dials a UK landline; we forward the call to your US number.
