Answer 1

You cant.   Inmates cannot call a cell phone due to the call being collect. There is no way for the jail/office of collecting funds from cell phone providers.  It does not matter what state you live in...Inmates can call anywhere as long as there is not a collect call block on your landline.

Answer 2

You can only get collect calls via a landline. You have to have him call someone with a landline, then have that person 3way you in the call.
