A good friend of mine is in jail. I put fifthy dollars on my account an only got three calls. A nd then when he call me the fourth time the recording came on and and said to receive this call you need to put more money on your card to receive this call. So they are telling me for three calls i paid fifithy dollars this is crazy. Who do i need to talk to. To get my other minutes i paid for.

whats dekalb county telephone numer?
|
|
Why is it that lately when my relative call me, the operator Does Not give me an option of accepting a collect call. Rather it states that I can only get a call from my relative by setting up an a prepaid account and that I need to have my Visa or Master Card ready. I do not want to set up an account with the company that has a contract with the phone company, but is not given another option. Plus how did I no longer qualify to accept collect calls? Please respond as I decided to communicate via the internet before sending my letter asking for clarification on this issue.

how can a inmate call long distance from the county jail?
|
|
I knew some one who was there and his family was in michigan so who ever is in jail needs to make the call at where ever he need just dial 1 and then code area and the number and the person needs to accept the call but long distance calls are more expensives if you put 10 dollars you have to finish everything in one call other way you would not have enought credit for next time
