Inmates Prepaid Phone deposit


By Elmer Richardson


If I have a member of my family or friend in a prison and wish them to contact me, then it is possible with my V-Connect prepaid account. This service is offered by many companies to help the family or friend to set up a phone account, but the condition is that particular institution must be participating in the service provided by V-Connect.

Now the inmate can make calls to the family, if I set up my VConnect prepaid account and this service is provided even to numbers which have been previously banned from receiving calls. This kind of suspension of calls is implemented when the local telephone company has no billing contract with the Value Added Communications or VAC. This situation also occurs if the particular inmate has crossed or reached the monthly billing limit that is set by VAC.

The inmate can then have a phone deposit set up by his family members and with my V-Connect prepaid account, he can help himself to the services of V Connect Advance Pay system. A prepaid account is created by paying the necessary advance amount and also submitting the number to which the inmate is going to call. Once this is done, the inmate calls you up and upon acceptance of the call; the company deducts the cost of the call as well as a certain amount of tax from the advance amount that you have paid them.

The family member can easily make this payment through credit cards, debit cards, cheque and so on. The amount that is to be paid by the user depends on the location of the inmate's institution and its istance from the family member's number.

They accept payment in the form of Visa or Master Card. I can have my VConnect prepaid account for $25 up to $100. Inmates who are lodged at the Florida Department of Corrections can make a phone deposit in Fl Doc. They can avail of this phone service, with the help of Pay-Tel which provides this service to that particular correctional institution in Florida. The member of the family can avail of the Family connection calling plan from their website in order to make a phone deposit at Fl Doc.
