Abstract
A method and system for rating multiple call destination types from a single video relay kiosk in a corrections facility. The method comprises receiving an indication of a first dialed phone number by a video relay kiosk in a corrections facility, the first dialed phone number representing a destination for a first phone call; querying a remote database or a local database or a third-party service provider to determine a first call destination type associated with the first dialed phone number; recording the first call destination type returned from the query; and recording a first charge for the first phone call, the first charge being based upon a first rate associated with the first call destination type returned from the query.
