Atascosa County Jail - Inmate Phone Services
Phone calls from the Atascosa County Jail
Every call starts inside the jail on Campbell Avenue; there is no inbound line. Calls are handled by NCIC, the same company behind the jail's messaging. A prepaid NCIC account in your name (account.ncic.com) lets your number accept them.
Another route: feed the phone kiosk at the Sheriff's Office, which credits the inmate's own phone balance and takes bills or plastic.
How does an Inmate make a phone call from Atascosa County Jail?

The inmate dials your number from a jail phone and the call is paid from your NCIC account or the inmate's own phone account. If your account is empty, NCIC may send a notice asking you to add funds. Make sure your number accepts calls from unknown numbers.
