Inmate Text App
Inmate texting apps are a great method to stay in contact with a family member or friend who is currently in jail. These apps are designed to meet prison regulations and allow family members and friends to send and receive messages images, photos, eCards video calls, and even money to their trust account in prison. In addition to these messaging apps, there are also several federal inmate apps that offer additional services like video visitation and phone calls.
The JPay app, for example, enables family and friends to transfer money to an inmate's trust account, along with pictures, emails, eCards and video grams. They can also create personalized postcards using their own images. It's a safer, more secure alternative to regular mail.
Another popular inmate text application is GettingOut, which offers "simple and reliable communication" text inmate between inmates and their loved ones. The app, which is available in select correctional facilities allows inmates to upload photos and text their family members and friends using their tablets. It costs inmates $0.25 for a message and loved ones pay for the data used to access their messages (but not for explicit photos). The GettingOut application can be used for uploading photos to Facebook or Foursquare, check-in to Foursquare and add the option of a YouTube video.
