We do not bill credit/debit cards on a monthly basis. You must preload funds into your inmate’s account in order for them to be able to access the messaging system (NOTE: You or your inmate still must also add funds to your inmate’s pre-paid calling account at the jail. SimpliMingle does not accept collect calls). Once your account is established, $3 per month will be deducted from your inmate’s SimpliMingle account balance, plus 25¢ per message (sent or received), and 10¢ per minute for every minute spend by you or you inmate within the system listening to or recording voice messages. 

Your message is delivered to the inmate instantly. However, it can be retrieved by the inmate when they call into their message line to check their messages.

The message is delivered instantly to your mobile phone as a voice file text message.
