Inmate Telephone Service

Haralson County uses the Pay Tel system for inmate phone calls.

The price is based on the standard, regulated local call rate at that facility plus the automated phone payment processing fee. Click here to see cost of a call to your phone.

Pay Tel accepts payments with VISA, MasterCard, Debit Card, MoneyGram and Western Union QuickCollect. The Sheriff's Office is not responsible for this service. If you have any questions, visit the Pay Tel website or call 800-729-8355.

Collect phone calls are the default calling option from jails served by Pay Tel.
