Setting up Communication services for Inmates

By Annette Rose


Encartele provides an effective and safe prison telephone service to the families and friends of inmates. The www.encartel.net provides various types of calling facilities such as collect calling and prepaid calling for the inmates. The families can opt for collect calling in case they have telephone numbers that can be billed by the local telephone company. Before the inmate is connected through such calls, the system makes a series of checks regarding whether the number can collect such calls.

The local telephone company must be capable of billing the number. Apart from this, the family should not have exceeded the limits for calls set by the local telephone company. There should also not be any bars or obstructions set by the local telephone company for the particular number. Only in the above cases, Encartele offers the services of collect calls to the inmates. Otherwise, the family can also set up a prepaid account for the number. This number could also be a cell number, with the billing done in the same way as for collect calls.

The family can use the website www.encartel.net in order to create their account and put in the money for the prepaid account. Once this is done, they can start receiving calls from the inmate. The larger the deposit, the more bonuses are provided by Encartele. Inmates can also purchase prepaid calling cards at the prison and then make calls to any number that is inside the United States.

Another service for inmate telephone solutions is provided by OffenderConnect. The family of the inmate can set up a prepaid account through www.offenderconnect.net. They need to sign up for the service by giving their name and other details. They can even provide multiple numbers which the inmate can contact.

Not only is making calls possible, you can also put in money for the inmate through the www.offenderconnect.net site. The prisoner can also have access to receiving emails sent by the family, which are given to him after a check out by the supervisors. View account statements and previous history of payments as well through the website. Additionally, access to kiosks that are placed in the correctional facility is also allowed, so you can deposit money in the account of the inmate.
