Iain Wilson, aged 30, appeared at Northampton Crown Court accused of trying to smuggle heroin and ecstasy into HMP Rye Hill, a privately-run prison near Daventry.
He pleaded not guilty to two charges of possessing class A drugs with intent to supply it to an unnamed inmate on March 23.
Speaking only to confirm his name and not guilty pleas, Wilson denied knowing the mobile phones contained five grams of MDMA and 15 grams of heroin.
Stuart Yeung, defending, said he would be arguing duress, Wilson having allegedly been threatened by an inmate to bring the phones in, and that he had no knowledge he was carrying drugs.
