Thanks to advanced technology, getting in touch with the loved one who is currently sitting in the prison is no longer difficult. There are a number of companies that make it easier to connect the inmates with people outside the world. One of the most popular companies in this field is called SmartJailMail.
SmartMailJail is good at connecting the inmates, the prisoners and detainees who are currently in the connectional institutions with their family members and friends. It has an online communication system that can be used easily.
One of the things that you need to have to be able to connect with the inmates, the prisoners, or detainees is service credits. For those who are wondering about the price, each of them costs one cent. Talking about purchasing the service credits, it should be noted that you are only allowed to purchase at least 500 credits at a time, which costs about $5.00. Regardless of the amount of the purchase, every transaction that you make is subject to a $1.50 processing fee. For instance, if you purchase 500 credits, the amount that you have to pay is $6.50. $5.00 is the fee to purchase 500 credits and $1.50 is the processing fee. Aside from the processing fee, there are no other fees or charges.
While SmartJailMail thinks that it is cheap, you might think otherwise. If you do not think that you have enough cash to purchase credits, you might look for a way to get free Credits. The question is, are there free Credits? If the answer to the question is yes, then how to get them?
Unfortunately, there is no way to get Credits for free. Credits are only available on the official website of SmartMailJail and they cost one cent each. If you do not have enough money, then you can just wait a bit longer until you have enough money to purchase them. When you have enough money, you can just go to the official website of SmartMailJail to purchase Credits.
After having Credits in your hand, you can do a few things, including sending and receiving messages, sending photos, and scheduling a video visitation. Each service requires a different amount of Credits. If you want to send an electronic message, you will need to have 50 credits, which costs 50 cents in real life money. To send a photo, the Credits that you need to have are 100 Credits. It means sending a photo costs $1.
