Looking for an EasyTextNow Alternative?

If a monthly subscription isn’t what you want, ContactMeAsap works differently. It’s pay-as-you-go: you add funds when you choose, a month of service is drawn from your balance, and whatever is left is yours until you use it.

How ContactMeAsap is different

• Add funds when you choose.EasyTextNow auto-refills the inmate’s service credit each period (you can cancel anytime). With ContactMeAsap, $20 (Basic) or $30 (Premium) of service is drawn from the balance you add.
• Your balance stays yours. What you add is yours until you use it. If your inmate no longer needs the service, you simply stop adding funds.
• Photos. Pay-per-print photos are available on every plan, and Premium includes 25 free federal prison photos. EasyTextNow lists photos on its Premium and higher plans.
• Extras on Premium.Premium ($30 of service) also adds our “Diamond” AI assistant, priority CorrLinks processing, 24/7 support, and coverage for Puerto Rico & Central/South America (EasyTextNow lists US & Canada).

In practice, pay-as-you-go means you add funds when you choose. We send a notice if your balance runs low, and we don’t save your credit card details.

When EasyTextNow may still be the better fit

EasyTextNow’s Starter plan (about $6.49 a month, per its site) costs less each month than our $20 Basic plan, and it offers a 96-hour free trial with no credit card. If a lower monthly price or a trial is your top priority, it may suit you better. For every line item side by side, read our full EasyTextNow vs ContactMeAsap comparison.
