  Both ways allow the inmates to talk for up to 15 minutes.
  Collect calls do not allow the inmates to call certain numbers, including cell phone numbers.
  Pre-paid phone cards do allow inmates to call cell phones.
  Calls can be made internationally and with the continental U.S.
  Three-way call attempts will automatically alert the phone system and the call will be terminated.
