“New to this”

Leslie R.

Pretty cool. I don't like that I have to wait for something to fully process before I can send another message. Also I wish you could use a phone calling service for Shelby county through pigeonly.com. But overall it's a neat way to stay in touch with incarcerated loved ones.

I tried to delete my card information and it wouldn't let me. I called to cancel and the phone number was disconnected. Scam

This does not work... it has been 2 weeks or more. Many calls to them. Wondering why my inmate had not received a postcard giving them the phone number so that they could call me. They told me to give the inmate the phone number. How can I give the inmate the phone number when they don't know who to call or what number to call. Then for my inconvenience they kept giving me an extra month's all the way into November I said I don't need extra free month my inmate will be out by then. I said I need to know why it hasn't gone through yet oh well there's a delay because of covid-19. Another time it was the facility is being slow about giving the inmate the postcard. Another excuse was it should be there tomorrow then. Then I got several texts saying congratulations your inmate has received their postcard my inmate has never received a postcard with the special phone number local phone number to call me. Finally accidentally my inmate got through to me on another person's account and I quickly gave her the phone number and when the inmate called I was able to receive it but there was a revolving recorder that said press 2 then it would start all over again and it would say pres to and then it would start all over again and press 2 and nothing else would happen my inmate had to hang up they have limited time in line on the phone. This is been a horrible experience I've asked for a refund they said everything should be working right away then I started getting more text saying that a picture was sent I never sent a picture then I got another text saying congratulations you're inmate can call you now my inmate couldn't call and get through I ask for a refund things will be better tomorrow now it's a revolving recording any inmate cannot get through and I can't get through to them. This is the biggest rip-off I'm really unhappy I don't think there's resolution and I doubt very much I'm ever going to see a refund and I hope that I do not have multiple charges on my card and I am going to contact the Better Business Bureau and make a real make a report thank you

Tip for consumers:
My tip for others is don't use it my tip for others is everyone needs to complain my tip for others is how are you supposed to know who to trust? Just so you know I've been trying to send this site and this better be sitejabber and not pigeonly because it will not send if it says you'll get this if it doesn't I don't know what'll happen once again very disappointed.

Products used:
I'm afraid to go with any other company my inmate has ended up reversing charges which is expensive for me and I am not sure where to go to a trusted place where I and my inmate can be comfortable talking to each other. So I have not gone with any other product at this time.
