Cidnet-Tablet

Cidnet-Tablet is a complete communication system designed to help people stay connected with incarcerated loved ones. It uses a standard data plan, priced at a flat $0.30 per megabyte (MB). That data can be used across multiple Cidnet services, including Voice, Video, and Mail—so you can reach the people you care about.

Every time you use these services, the system logs the activity as a Cidnet Utilization Event (CUE), which helps track data usage accurately. Please note that which Cidnet applications are available can differ by facility.

Schedule virtual visits

If in-person visits are difficult, Cidnet makes it possible to message and set up a video visit right from your device. Visits and messages do require data, so there is a cost involved. Video visit times also must be approved by the recipient.

This scheduling process helps make sure both sides are available at the agreed time. You can also review transaction history and video visitation history. Depending on the facility, you may be asked to upload a photo of your ID.
