With respect to your first question, generally, inmates are allowed to make collect phone calls from the jail, but that very much depends on independent jail policy. You second questions depends upon a variety factors, including the original offense for which he is on probation, the seriousness of the alleged violation, and the remaining amount of time on his prior sentence. He definitely needs to consult with an attorney as soon as possible to discuss this matter further.
He can be in for up to the amount of jail that was previously suspended. For example if his original charge he was sentenced to 180 days in jail and had maybe 10 days of credit then he could get up to 170 days in jail. You can most likely go to the jail (some have websites where you can do this) and put money on his commissary account where he can purchase phone time and can call you. KEEP IN MIND THAT ANYTHING SAID ON A JAIL PHONE CALL IS RECORDED!!!!!!!! i can not stress this enough.
