Looking for a CorBot Alternative?

If you’d rather not manage a monthly plan, ContactMeAsap is a pay-as-you-go alternative. You add funds when you choose, a month of service is drawn from your balance, and what’s left is yours until you use it.

How ContactMeAsap differs from CorBot

• Add funds when you choose.CorBot is a monthly subscription with four plans — Bronze $10, Silver $20, Gold $30 and Platinum $40 — and 15% off for annual billing. ContactMeAsap has Basic ($20) and Premium ($30 of service), each drawn from a balance you add.
• Unlimited text messages on both plans.Per CorBot’s site, message and request caps rise with each plan. Basic and Premium both include unlimited federal inmate text messages.
• Premium extras.Premium adds 25 free federal prison photos, our “Diamond” AI assistant, priority CorrLinks processing, 24/7 support, and coverage for Puerto Rico & Central/South America.

What stays the same: CorBot sits on top of CorrLinks/TRULINCS, with families texting from a regular phone while the inmate still uses CorrLinks. ContactMeAsap also lets you text from your own phone through CorrLinks/TRULINCS, so the real differences are how you pay and what each plan includes.

Where CorBot may be the better fit

CorBot’s Bronze plan starts at $10 a month — less than our $20 Basic plan — and annual billing is 15% off. A personal texting number starts at Silver ($20), per its site. If you want a lower entry price or like choosing a tier, it may suit you better. For plans and caps in detail, read our full CorBot vs ContactMeAsap comparison.
