Jail Calls- When You Need Collect Calls From A Prison Or Jail We are The Answer!

Jan. 17, 2013 - PRLog -- Prisons only allow their inmates to make collect calls when calling people. This can be very costly because inmate phone systems only allow inmates to make zero plus cost calls. This is because prison phone systems are designed with security features that prevent fraud and harassment of people. This can make contacting people from a correctional facility very expensive. In some cases people cannot accept collect calls on their phone and thus cannot communicate at all with a loved one in prison. Jail Calls is the answer and will help!

Calls from a prison cost a lot more than standard phone calls and you cannot phone an inmate in prison directly. In some cases to make a call you will have to establish a prepaid account with the prison's existing telephone carrier which can be expensive and inflexible.

Jail Calls was established to help friends and families of inmates to stay in touch and to reduce the cost of correctional facility inmate telephone calls. The company provides a solution to these problems. It is a phone service that helps friends and family to reduce the cost of contacting a prison inmate. Through their telephone network, Jail Calls enables people to receive prison inmate collect calls on their home phone (even if there is a block on their service) or to a mobile. It is important to remember that the company does not use call forwarding or use third party billing for their service.

Jail Calls provides their inmate phone service by routing prison inmate phone calls through their own private network and then to you through the telephone number that you specify when you sign up. This completely legal and does not affect any of the security measures that the prison enforces. It simply means that once you create an account with the company they can route prison phone calls to any phone number you specify, including your home phone number or a mobile phone (which otherwise cannot accept collect calls).

To use jail calls you sign up at their website and provide your phone number as well as the correctional center where the prisoner is located. When you have completed the process and paid your monthly fee you will be provided with a phone number that the prisoner uses to make calls. When the prisoner calls the specified number their call is routed to the number that you specified when you signed up of the service.

The company charges a monthly fee for their service and also charges a per minute amount for the duration of the phone call. You can pay your account using credit and debits cards or use money orders and Western Union. Your balance rolls over throughout your membership (the balance is not reduced if it is unused) you can check the amount you have in your account online.
