EasyTextNow® enables federal inmates to easily send and receive SMS text messages from anyone in the United States and Canada — unlimited, instant, 24/7.
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 handles every message instantly, automatically, 24/7.
Subscribe nowFast Delivery
No human in the loop. Requests are handled instantly, automatically, around the clock.
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, they usually get their instructions within the hour and can start texting right away.
