Jail phones are on a contract with the government at set rates. At the same time, there are third party services which give alternatives. A quick google search will show such services and their relative cost.

Thanks for your help! Unfortunately all the third party services don't provide the service for the jail I need and after speaking to a bell agent found out it's $2.50 per minute 😒

Good Day.
Sorry, Bell does not offer a collect call plan such as this. It does offer an alternative that may meet your needs.
Bell does offer Calling Cards.
- Bell Calling Card - Find out how easy it is to use your Bell Calling Card.
- Family Contact Card - Find out how easy it is to use your Family Contact Card.
Please check out the web link that I have provided below:
https://www.bell.ca/Home_phone/Calling_cards
To order either card, please call: 1-866-845-2998
Take care.
