EasyTextNow vs ContactMeAsap
Both EasyTextNow and ContactMeAsap let you text a federal inmate from your own phone through the CorrLinks/TRULINCS system. The biggest difference is how you pay: EasyTextNow is a monthly subscription that auto-refills, while ContactMeAsap is pay-as-you-go — you add funds to a balance when you choose.
