 As all have said- write to him. And also try and get hold of some visiting orders so you can see him :)

 Missing calls from prison is just part of the territory. You can't get upset about it. You are living your life outside while he is inside. If there is a pattern to when he calls, then don't do anything during those hours.
You will catch the next one.

Call the prison and ask which telecom company they use and get their number. Then you can put $$ onto an account for your mobile-whether it's pre-paid service or contract doesn't matter. Then after your account has been funded-he can call you at either home or on your cell. ALSO, get your boyfriend's inmate number and the prison's inmate mailing address to be able to get your boyfriend's letters to him. No explicit pictures or anything though. You can write "racy" letters, just nothing really really raunchy. I know all about this kinda stuff-so feel free to ask away. Also wanted to tell you in case you didn't know-they can't HAVE cell phones, but they can CALL cell phones if you set up the account like I told you, ok? Hope I helped!

As for mobiles - can they call mobile phones in there?
To EbonyB - I have no idea what has happened - I keep missing his calls and it is all very sudden - but he has been doing very well lately and thats why I am worried for him.

Can the prison give him the mobile number if he doesn't have it. Listen I am not up on proper procedure of what the phoning protocol is in prisons, but surely they can get a message to him...to call you at a time when you are available? Correct me on this if I am wrong. I am sure the phone calls are monitored and he has just certain times he can calls. Perhaps if he does call you, take the time to discuss with him about setting up a regular day and time, when you are there to take his call.

Hello, I was in your situation not too long ago. I missed some of my then boyfriend-now husband's calls sometimes. Are you able to correspond via regular mail? We wrote EVERY day to each, and talked as well. When you can't get his calls, if you are able to write-write him and let him know how you feel and that you regret not being able to receive his calls. He should understand. Good luck!

 Next time you get to talk to him, give him your mobile number so you can still hear from him when you're out.I don't mean to pry, but may I ask why he is in prison?
