Cheap prison calls
in Australia

Prisoncall provides affordable local landline numbers for families of people in Victorian and NSW correctional facilities. When your loved one calls your Prisoncall number from prison, the call forwards directly to your Australian mobile — at the cheaper landline rate. You pay one flat monthly fee. No top-ups, no per-minute charges to you.

Other providers charge per minute or require frequent top-ups. Prisoncall gives you unlimited minutes for one flat monthly fee — no surprise charges, no running out of credit mid-call. Our customers save up to $500 compared to other providers.

You receive your Prisoncall number on Day 1, immediately after sign-up. Share this number with your loved one so they can register it with the prison. Once registered (typically Day 2), calls will forward to your mobile automatically.

Prisons charge the lowest rates for calls to local landlines. Prisoncall gives your loved one a local landline number to call — so they're charged at the cheapest landline rate. The call then forwards to your mobile at no extra cost to you.

We currently cover all correctional facilities in Victoria and New South Wales. Don't see your prison? Contact us.

Staying connected is easier when you understand how engine numbers work. An engine number is a local landline phone number that your loved one registers with the prison to make outgoing calls. Prisoncall provides you with one of these numbers — assigned to your Australian mobile — so every call they make reaches you at the cheapest possible rate. Note: mobile numbers are not accepted by prisons for this purpose.

If your loved one is transferred to another VIC or NSW prison, we update your number free of charge. Simply contact us and we'll handle the change so you stay connected without interruption.
