Federal Inmate Text Messaging Service
Send unlimited text messages to federal inmates through the secure Corrlinks/TRULINCS system. Best federal inmate text app with BOP compliance, photo sharing, and 24/7 support for families nationwide. Fastest Message Service Guaranteed!
How federal inmate texting actually works
Every Bureau of Prisons facility runs on TRULINCS — the government’s official inmate communication network. ContactMeASAP bridges that gap so you can text from your own phone.
What is TRULINCS?
TRULINCS is the Federal Bureau of Prisons' locked-down inmate messaging platform. Families can't easily use it from a phone on their own — ContactMeASAP bridges that gap.
How ContactMeASAP connects you
You sign up on the website and deposit funds. Your SMS messages get relayed to the inmate through the Corrlinks/TRULINCS system, and their replies come back to you as a normal text message.
Every BOP facility, nationwide
ContactMeASAP works across the federal prison system in the United States and Canada, with Puerto Rico and Central/South America covered on our Premium tier.

What families are saying
“The service has been a lifeline for us. My husband is at FCI Otisville and the mail system is always so backed up. Being able to get messages through this service instantly has changed everything for our kids.”
“We struggled for months trying to get consistent communication while he was at USP Coleman. Since we started using this, we haven't had a single issue. It's consistent and reliable.”
“Honestly, being at FDC SeaTac is stressful enough. Knowing I can reach out and get a message through without dealing with the typical prison tech headaches is the only thing keeping me sane.”
“Fast and affordable. It's so much cheaper than the standard calling rates he was dealing with at FCI Fort Dix. I actually get to talk to him every day now.”
