The family pack Coming soon

One inside.
A family out here.

He doesn’t ring just one person. So everyone gets their own number, all in the prison’s area code, all on one bill. Nobody waits their turn, nobody passes the phone round.

  • Three numbers, one bill. One price, split however you like.
  • The same 1,500 minutes. Shared between you, because his spending cap is shared too.
  • Everyone rings their own phone. No handing the phone round, no missed calls.

The maths

Pay £23.99.
Get £38 back.

Every call costs them less. The saving stays in their account — for canteen, for credit, for more calls.

31 minutes a day pays the fee. After that, it’s all money back.

Not sure how much you talk? The calculator above tells you straight.

49 minutes a day
£14 backevery month

Talk like that all year: £168 back.

Why? The prison charges them 2.48p a minute to ring our number, not 5.50p. The gap goes back to them, not to us. Talk less than 31 minutes a day? Then don’t buy this — the calculator will say so.

What it costs

One price, however
much you talk.

Most places sell you minutes. Run out and you top up again, and the more you talk the more it costs. Ours is one price whatever happens.

What the household pays each month, comparing pay-as-you-go at 8.14p a minute against Ringyard at £23.99 a month, across four levels of calling.

Buying minutes: the more you talk, the more you pay. Us: the bill stops at £23.99. Talk more than 10 minutes a day and we’re the cheaper one.

Pay-as-you-go shown at 8.14p a minute — the cheapest bundle on FoneSavvy’s price list. Smaller bundles cost more.

Just send more money, no?

You can’t. The prison caps what your people are allowed each week. What you can change is how far it goes.

Same cap, same canteen, same everything — the only thing that moves is the per-minute rate they’re charged.

Minutes a month, if all of it went on calls. Same money, twice the minutes.

That’s 34 more hours of talking, every month. Sending more money can’t do that — the cap stops you. Changing the rate does.

Questions

Will the prison let it through?

Nearly always. We give you a landline in the same area code as their prison, so on the phone list it looks like any other local number — there is nothing about it that stands out. A few prisons screen harder than others. If yours says no, we swap you onto a fresh number, free.

How long till the first call?

Your number works in about a minute. Then the prison checks it before it goes on the list, which is usually a few days.

Can I stop it?

Any time, in one tap. No phone call, no notice period, no talking anyone out of it. It runs to the end of the month you have paid for.

Do I need an app?

Nope. It rings your normal mobile on your normal network. Any phone, anywhere you’ve got signal.

Is £23.99 a month worth it for us?

Yes, if they call most days. 31 minutes a day pays the fee. After that, every minute puts money back in their account — 45 minutes a day is about £10 back each month. Talk less than 31 minutes a day? Don't buy it. The calculator will tell you straight.

What if we talk more than 1,500 minutes?

Extra minutes are 3.6p each, VAT in. We email you at 80% so nothing catches you out, and nobody is ever cut off mid-call.

Can more than one of us get the calls?

That’s the family pack — three numbers in the prison’s area code, one bill, minutes shared because his spending cap is shared anyway. It’s coming soon. For now it’s one number per account — email us if you want the family pack first and we’ll tell you the day it lands.

Can I ring 999 on it?

No. This number only takes calls. Use your normal phone for emergencies.

Never rush a goodbye again.

Ringing your mobile burns up to £38 of their money every month. Stop it in one minute. Cancel any time, one tap.
