Lee County Jail Inmate Phone Service - Registering and Cost
How to Get Calls From an Inmate at the Lee County Jail
People held in Montrose can't receive incoming calls; they phone out on the jail's inmate system, typically collect or from a prepaid account. State law (section 804.20) lets a new Lee arrestee reach a relative or attorney without unreasonable delay. To set up a prepaid account so calls reach your cell phone, ask the jail at 319-376-2355 which provider it uses and how to register.

Important Lee County Jail Inmate Phone Tips
- Many jails and prisons restrict the amount of time that an inmate can use the phone by placing daily and monthly limits, so try to pace yourself and not use up all your time at the beginning of the month.
- Jails limit an inmate's phone time to certain hours of the day, so it is important you keep a regular schedule that works for both you and your inmate.
- If your inmate does not call you during the time you both have scheduled, don't panic. There are often long lines for phone use. When a jail is on lockdown due to a fight or other security issue they do not allow the phones to be used.
- Phones are the only way for an inmate to hear your voice and temporarily 'escape' the loneliness of incarceration, so use your time well. Arguing about anything will leave you both feeling empty and guilty, so avoid it at all costs.
- All phone conversations are recorded. Whatever you talk about, can and will be used against your inmate in court. Never discuss their pending criminal case!
