I received a phone from my boy informing me my other boy was in prison. I questioned my boy why my other boy couldn`t phone me in the place of his buddy and he explained he had attempted, but couldn`t cope with. And so I chose to discover why by calling ATT. They stated they don`t handle prisoner calls, but Securus technology. Did, and offered me thier amount.
I called securus technology and questioned why. Arrive at discover later I'd a stop on unpublished calls. (which was the actual cause) They explained I had a need to start an inmate bill. I stated just how much? They stated no less than $25.00 along with a $6.95 service charge. Whoa! And so I settled. Today my boy might call from prison.
I just got 4 brief calls and also the cash was eliminated, all-but. 75 cents worth.
After some thinking I requested them why can`t he simply contact me gather? They stated since I popped a merchant account together. I mentioned okay, close the consideration. They stated easily did that it might occupy to twenty four hours before I really could receive calls. I said "good". Half an hour later to my surprise I acquired a collect phone from my boy in prison. It cost $3.00 for connecting and 7 cents each minute. I thought EXCELLENT, that`s reasonable.
24 hours later he attempted and may not cope with once more. After calling Securus technology to request what`s up they stated I owed Securus technology $3.53 pennies and may not keep in touch with my boy `till which was compensated. I mentioned for what. They stated for that collect phone I acquired. I believed that will continue my ATT statement I mentioned. They stated no it returned towards the previous bill. I stated but I shut that recently. They saiud indeed, but, you approved his phone before 24 hours. I stated what exactly? They stated I had a need to wait twenty four hours. I told them you stated "it might occupy to 24 fours to function, not I have to wait twenty four hours.
to be able to receive telephone calls from my boy I currently needed to deliver the minimal $25.00 quantity plus another $6.95 service charge just-so they might get thier $3.53 pennies I owed them. They'd then shut my consideration and reimbursement $21.47 back again to me. Opon waiting twenty four hours and never taking calls from my boy before that I'd subsequently have the ability to keep in touch with him following the 24-hour delay.
Why would they not take payment from my bank card of the $3.53. They simply wished to create another $6.96 service charge. And of course they declare it'll consider 10 to 12 times for that $21= bucks to obtain in my acount? Nothing beats experiencing only a little curiosity huh? When I stated within the beggining of the statement, they might have discovered that my solitude supervisor (a calling function) was switched on and wouldn`t take unpublished telephone numbers, where stage I'd have switched it down and might have never actually required Securus technology. Child, I wonder just how many people the corporation has monitarily raped?
Ripoff, ripoff, ripoff
I'm on impairment. It`s expensive enough taking collect calls on $850.00 per month, but to truly have a business like Securus Technology. Contributing to the issue nicely... This type of person less than pond scum!
