Inmate Services
A straightforward, automatic setup that gives your incarcerated loved one an intuitive way to send and receive regular SMS with friends and family. Here's everything they can do from the inside.
Stay Informed
They can pull up Google searches, daily news, and the latest in Hip Hop Gossip — all from inside.
Communicate Freely
They get a unique, private phone number and email address — all their own — to send and receive SMS and emails.
Chat Smart
They can chat with ChatGPT, an AI assistant ready to help them 24/7.
Get their Jam
They can discover and fetch song lyrics with our Lyrics Finder.
Personal Touch
They keep their own contact list and text everyone by familiar nicknames.
Photo Prints
Family texts the photos — and the inmate places the print order from inside (needs a plan with photo access or extra balance). We print and mail straight to the facility. Boss includes 15 free prints/month.
Empower your loved ones with a digital lifeline.
Unlike other services, there's no human intervention: our system relays every message automatically, 24/7.

Reaching someone inside shouldn't feel like a gamble. Here's what makes us safe, legitimate, and worth your trust.
We verify the inmate first
Before you pay, we check the register number live against the Federal Bureau of Prisons and show you the inmate's name and facility — so your money always reaches the right person.
Bank-level payment security
Payments are handled entirely by Stripe, a PCI-certified processor trusted by millions of businesses. Your card number goes straight to Stripe — we never see or store it, and the whole site is encrypted.
A real, registered company
EasyTextNow is operated by BYTEWONDERS LLC, a registered U.S. company with a real address and real support — connecting families since 2022.

Prices are shown before you pay, you can cancel anytime with no fees, and any balance you add stays on the account. Read our plain-English Refund & Cancellation policies.

Every payment is a gift of service credit to the inmate's account — see how billing works. Questions? Check the FAQ.
Automatic Relay
No human in the loop. Our system relays every message within seconds, around the clock — Corrlinks then applies its own processing time (about an hour each way).
Uncomplicated
We send inmates the instructions directly. You just text from your phone like with anyone else.
Empower them
Inmates can contact our support directly from the inside — you don't have to be the middleman.
Built to never lose contact
Automatic backup
Every account gets a pre-configured backup contact address. If the primary ever has an issue, we switch over automatically — messages keep flowing without interruption.
How billing works
Your payment is a gift of credit to the inmate's account. Subscriptions refill that credit monthly, and the service renews from it. If credit runs out, there's a 3-day grace period with reminders before service pauses.
Setup expectations
Setup is fully automatic. Once the inmate adds the email we give you, our system responds in minutes — with Corrlinks' own processing time, their instructions typically arrive within 1–2 hours.
