On Labor Day 2003 a friend called collect from a jail 40 miles away. No one was in the home where the phone is located and the call was recorded by my answering machine.
My next SBC phone bill showed a charge for two one minute calls billed by Inmate Communication Corp., and included with my regular phone bill. $8.60 for each one minute call.
SBC (formerly Pacific Bell) says that collect calls cannot be accepted by phone answering machines, but since it is on my bill. I must have accepted them! I Did Not!
A call to Inmate Comm. Corp. Yielded nothing but THIER answering machine and a promise of a return call within 3 days. It is a week later now and I have yet to hear form Inmate Comm. Corp.
