Some facilities allow 24/7 access to the phone with calling cards. Some inmates have family and friends who work different shifts. It's up to the policy of each individual institution. Some facilities that do not offer 24/7 service have been sued saying it's an infringement of their rights.

You have to block the number yourself. Realize you are blocking a lot of institutions that use this calling card service. It's not just a few places.

There is plenty of time to say a first and last name when inmates call. Unfortunately I've had experience with 3 different card companies (same inmate different facilities) and have usually had a first and last name caller. Had one caller who called with a first name, but next call was from Mr "last name". Just to let us know who the caller was since we didn't accept. Just common sense if it's the real thing! Also inmates can call random numbers on these cards where there's the recording this inmate is out of calling time....please enter your credit card number to add time to this caller's account. It's not illegal to call and ask for money, it's your choice to add money. Nothing illegal about that, unfortunately. Inmates aren't always the most honest people. Some are, but most are legitimate on purpose crimes. Unfortunately.

Some inmates do use random numbers to try and get people to add money to their phone card by credit card. It's unfortunate, but some people will thinking it's someone they know. Not illegal for them to ask! You should call the facility to see what company they go through. They will tell you want your caller ID should say from the company they use. Most will verify if your loved one is there. Better safe than sorry!!

Not from the inmate themselves. Inmates are allowed one call using a regular phone when arrested. After that, it's a calling card. Not all facilities use the same calling card services. The free message is probably giving you an option to pay for the call or instructions using your credit card to setup an account with them, or add money to the inmate's card.

I got two calls from 1-877-710-3334 (w/ per-recorded message), 3:02 AM and 3:05 AM. The first call claims to be from Polk County Sheriff office, asking me to accept this call by pressing #1. The second call from Sheriff office asking me to accept this call up to 15 minutes, by accepting a charge to by debit or credit card of $14.99, please press #1. If I like to set up or add funds to a prepaid advance connect account for future calls press #2. This is a scan, since I do not live in Polk County or ever visited. Please Polk county is on the other side of the United States from me.

It's a jail inmate calling and the system is asking you to pay $14.99 to accept their call.

Thats BS people get free phone calls not 20 seconds

They are a large nationwide Service they with correctional facilities all over the United States

I received a call and it's totally legit. My BF is in jail and tried calling me from the 877 number so I looked it up. Found it is a company I had been looking into for accepting phone calls from inmates, called Securus. So instead of accepting the 15 minute call for $14.99, I went online and used the live chat feature to set up an account. The cost now is $30/mth. It's a $1 connection fee when the inmate calls (as opposed to $4.00 or more typically) and is $0.20/min thereafter. The money is deducted from the monthly $30 fee but then if you go over that, you will be billed and can pay that at a later due date.When I answered the call, it stated to press 1 to hear the message, which is free. The message is that this is an inmate calling and I was able to hear my BF announce his name through their recording. I can accept and pay the $14.99 or hang up. I hung up so that I could go online and set up a cheaper account. If you now someone in jail, this is a great option.I've been paying a fortune accepting phone calls from jail. And yes, this service is for jails all over the U.S.
