How Does PrePaid Calling Work?

When an unbillable destination number is called, the called party will hear voice prompts providing information regarding PrePaid Calling services and the toll free number of 888-506-8407 to reach the ICSolutions ‘ prepayment center. The called party is invited to stay on the line for a short one-time free call with their caller and at the conclusion of the call they will be automatically transferred to the prepayment center.

The series of events is as follows:

1. The called party is advised of requirement of PrePaid services

2. The called party is invited to stay on the line for a short one-time free call.

3. At the end of the free call, the called party is automatically transferred to the prepayment center. The inmate is notified of the transfer and disconnected from the call.

4. The called party will be offered a choice of payment options (Credit Card, Debit Card, Check-By-Phone, Western Union, MoneyGram, Money Order & Cashiers Check) to establish the PrePaid account.

5. Once the account is funded, the phone system is automatically updated and the inmate will again be able to call that person.

6. The entire process takes as little as 15 minutes but maybe longer depending on the payment method selected by the called party.

Advantages of PrePaid Calling:

• Rapid Account Activation
• Balance notification with every call
• Ability to manage phone expense
• No bills to pay
• No preset limit
• Calls allowed to numbers that would otherwise be blocked

• No commissary fund needed

• No application to complete or credit check to pass
• Refunds returned in five business days when account is no longer needed

For your convenience, you can also establish and fund your PrePaid account utilizing our online payment system at http://www.lCSolutions.com

How much does it cost?

Rates vary by facility and the location of the person you are calling.

Rate information is available to the called party during the call set-up process or by calling our customer service department for assistance.

Once an inmate receives his or her housing assignment, he or she can contact family and friends by calling collect from phones in the jail. Family and friends must be willing to accept the charges.

Inmates cannot receive incoming telephone calls and BSO employees are not permitted to deliver personal messages to inmates.

If you are having trouble receiving calls from an inmate at any Broward County Detention Facility, would like to request a BLOCK or UNBLOCK on your phone, or have a question about how to setup a DIRECT BILL or PREPAID account, please contact T-Netix with the below information.

Family members and friends of inmates are given the option of setting up prepaid calling accounts using credit cards, checks, money orders or Western Union. Calls that may otherwise be blocked are now completed through GTL’s AdvancePay® program.

How Does It Work?

AdvancePay® allows inmates to call your telephone number without the restrictions of standard billing. When an inmate attempts to dial an un-billable number, the inmate is placed on hold and AdvancePay® will provide the option to the called party to set up a prepaid account. After the prepaid account is established, collect calls to the telephone number may be placed, up to the prepaid amount in the account. After the account money is used, the system will prompt the user to add funds to their AdvancePay® account.

Benefits:

Customers can rest assured that collect call charges will not reach an excessive amount.

When funds on a prepaid account are low, an automated system will contact customers with the option to add more money to their AdvancePay® account.

All transactions occur in real-time. When an inmate places a call to a number set up as prepaid, funds are deducted from the AdvancePay® account as soon as the call is complete.

Helpful tips to avoid calls from inmates from being disconnected:

• DON’T attempt a 3-way call
• DON’T try to transfer the call
• DON’T put the inmate on hold
• DON’T use or answer “call waiting”
• DON’T press numbers on the touch tone pad during the call (inmate phone or called phone)
• DON’T stop the conversation for any length of time, even short pauses may result in disconnection

Once a number has been blocked, only the person the number is listed to may unblock the number by calling: 1-866-230-7761
