They take money out of your account when they are not supposed to, it's NOT unlimited calls, half the time the inmate can NOT get through, and the letters take forever to get to the inmate. I have had this company since March and have nothing but trouble. My boyfriend has NOT been able to reach me in 5 days but has been able to reach other family members through another company. I have called them numerous times about this and they keep telling me it will be fixed and they are working on it. I am extremely frustrated and they don't refund you, so I am stuck with this non working company

Hope
August 27, 2020

I thought this was a great idea to keep in contact with love ones. The ability to share photos and keep some kind of contact with your love one really helps family. And hopefully it sends some kind of hope and makes your love one a better day.

I love Pigeonly!
November 4, 2020

It's so much easier than any other website or app. It ships out the same day you send it and your loved ones will get it in 3-5 days. Your loved ones can also order commissary and get it later the same day they ordered it.

Letters to paul.
October 13, 2020

My friend is in prison. His name is Paul. My husband needs to have him and many others depend on paul for who he is. He is in jail not for his character, but behavior. Hoping to keep contact with him is very important. This site made it easy to find him.

What a joke
May 14, 2020

This website is garbage and so is the service. I purchased this service for phone calls and it didn't work at all and the number they provided me with didn't work. It's a bunch of bull. Will not continue with this service.

Can not be trusted
February 26, 2022

They took $120 out of my account after it was closed starting in June, the following December Istill haven't had my money back. Now it's February and I still don't have my money back. They keep putting me off and putting me off and putting me off. So pretty much they stole my money out of my checking account without my permission

The web pages flow easily, account set up and navigation were a breeze. Im disappointed that after i joined and agreed to pay a monthly reoccurring bill... i was taken to another page where it was a 3rd party and had an additional bill to pay to the jail. I understand its separated as its different businesses all together. Its just nice to know that once you agree to everything... the agreement changes on the next page after providing Credit Card info and being charged.

I signed up with a $4.99 deal to send pictures! Which ended up being over $30 to send pictures! I tried to cancel my service! Only to have multiple charges! Months later, without using the service! DONT make the mistake of giving this website your bank info! Reporting to the BBB!

DO NOT USE OVER RATED.
January 2, 2020

I signed up to see what it was about supposed to be a 3 day trial well in website says you can cancel after you see the charges for monthly subscription then 24.99 I think for a number well I never got the number when trying to cancel kept taking me back so I emailed was called after the 3 day trial and said i never agreed to the 24.99 number still got charged. Many people after i learned this told me there all over charged and its multiple charges in one month. I would advise you just go thru the jails system and not here. This place is a complete RIP off. And all these false good reviews. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE AT ALL. I've turned my complaint over to better business bureau it's bad enough its expensive to talk to a loved one in jail and send things to. And you have a company like this that rips you off. They will blow you up with emails too.

Lousy
September 27, 2018

Phone number have glitches and sometime don't work. Inmate will call and number will say it's disconnected. Theu will say call BK in 48 hrs, they'll reset them number if it still doesn't work they will give you a new number. How is that convenient for the inmate? Me? Keep you on hold for 30 plus minutes. It's a horrible learning experience. Stay away from Pigeonly

Hi Lisa I apologize for any inconviences. Sometimes the facilities/providers experience outages making it difficult for calls to connect which is why sometimes the inmate hears a busy signal when trying to call. There are also different protocols for our number to be active and ready for use depending on your loved ones facility. This is why we try to give the number at least 24 hours to be active. Other times the facility just won't accept our best rate number which is why we then issue you a different number with a different prefix. I know it can be very frustrating but our main goal is to provide you with a working, active number that the facility will accept AND our customer can save on each call. Sometimes depending on the facility it can take a couple tries, so we ask for patience on those special cases. We also have had a very high call volume due to the demand of our services. Since then we have expanded our time making hold times a lot less. If you'd like to give us another try for free please give us a call and use reference code 8231. A manager will be more than happy to assist you. Once again I do apologize that you did not have a great experience with Pigeonly.

I'm glad I found Pigeonly. Pigeonly services are great to use to send a letter to your loved someones. I personally live in Canada and you have no clue when the letter is delivered until your loved someones tell you so. With Pigeonly, you can send 4 pages of text, it takes around 4 days to deliver and you get notified when it's delivered.

Date of experience: September 15, 2020
