Phone calls
The Wharton County Jail used Paytel for their phone service.
What does this mean for you?
You do not have to worry about collect calls, like the old days. Of course, the inmate will have the opportunity to make a collect call, if needed as well.

Inmates in the Wharton County Jail will only be permitted to have a 15-minute in length phone call, so everyone gets a chance to use the telephones.
