Inmate Telephone Commissions
ICSolutions will provide Inmate Phone Service, including all related equipment maintenance, and
unlimited ENFORCER® licenses, at no cost to the County. Our offer includes the payment of commissions
at the rate of 55.1% of Total Gross Revenue paid on all completed inmate calls of every kind. No
deductions are made for bad debt unbillables, uncollectable revenue, or any other similar cost of
providing inmate phone services.
REGULATORY NOTE: Per the recently effective FCC Orders recommending nationwide caps on
calling rates and setting caps on fees, commissions are allowed for all call 'f;ypes. including
Interstate calls. Furthermore, the FCC has not regulated or imposed any per-minute or percentage
rate caps on site commissions. Therefore, ICSolutions' commission offer is in full compliance with all
current and pending FCC regulations.
$25,000.00 Minimum Annual Guarantee (MAG)
ICSolutions' offer includes a $25.000.00 Minimum Annual Guarantee (MAG) in total commissions for
each year during the contract term, plus all renewal periods. In addition, commission earnings will be
calculated at the proposed commission rate using actual calling revenue, and the County will receive
any additional commission earned each year above the proposed MAG.

Unique !CSolutions MAG Feature:
With ICSolutions - unlike with other inmate phone vendors - our MAG is applicable to every single
contract year and all exercised extension periods! This guaranteed revenue will ensure the County can
meet its budgetary demands not just in the first contract year, but every year in which you are an
ICSolutions customer.
FCC-Approved Calling Rates & Fees
(no connect fees I no surcharges)
ICSolutions' proposed calling rates comply with rate structure that was adopted by the FCC on August 4,
2016, and published to the Federal Register on September 13, 2016.
Collect. Debit.
& Prepaid Collect Callin
Anywhere in the United States:
.31¢ per minute

d l P~~~A-:c Ll
~..s-~ b:=~\
NOTE: Call Rates shown do not include local county, state and federal taxes, regulatory feesa&i billing fees.
International debit calling is also available at the rate of 95¢ per minute, with no surcharges.
The FCC~compliant fees are noted below:
Fee - Live A ent
Direct Bill Statement Fee
$2.00 per month (applies only during
months in which collect calls were acce ted)
Collect
These proposed rates are more economical for inmates and their loved ones and easier to understand
than the higher rates historically charged in other area correctional facilities - and they are fully
compliant with all current FCC regulations and State regulations. Postalized calling rates offer several
benefits to both the County and your inmates and constituents:
•
•
•
•
Simplified rates can stimulate significantly more calling and more overall revenue for the
County.
Better value for those who pay for calls.
More frequent communication, because eliminating surcharges (connect fees) frees inmates to
call loved ones more often, without having to consider call duration before calling.
Eliminates refund requests due to dropped calls! Again, because there is no connect fee, there
is no financial penalty for making multiple short-duration calls. If a call is dropped - due to a lost
connection on a called party's cell phone, for example - the inmate can simply hang up and retry
the call without having to pay any connect fees. For the Jail, this means fewer complaints and
less time spent reviewing refund requests.

Eliminates the financial incentive for engaging in Hdial-around" or "call-forwarding" services such
as ConsCallHome.com; results in the collection of more valuable investigative data for the
County, as destination phone numbers can be accurately identified and located.
Optional Inmate Voicemail
To further increase your commission revenue, ICSolutions can deploy our Inmate Voicemail solution. This
service allows inmates to receive inbound voicemail messages from friends and family, who pay a fee of
$1.00 per message. The County will receive soc of each message fee as additional commission
revenue.
