Understanding Prison Phone Rates in 2025

Prison phone rates are set by the Ministry of Justice and apply to all prisons in England and Wales. As of April 2025, calls to UK mobiles cost 5.50p per minute on weekdays and 3.60p per minute on weekends. Calls to UK landlines cost just 2.48p per minute on weekdays and 2.20p per minute on weekends. These rates are locked until May 2027. Understanding these rates is the first step to saving money on prison phone calls.
