“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

It was alot easier to sign up then I thought it would be. I sent a pic already with my pigeonly number on it. Not sure if she received it or not. I haven't received a call from her so not sure If the jail relayed the pigeonly number to her otlr not.

I signed up for this service and it was GREAT while I needed it. I cancelled in April of 2019 and I'm STILL getting charged for services. I don't want to cancel my debit card number b/c it's linked to everything.

So far I'm out around $150 and now they are telling me that they'll have to mail me a CHECK in 3-4 WEEKS! Absolutely ridiculous.

This service does save money to talk with inmate although I had many times where the calls didn't go through for a couple days. And the monthly fee went up from 4.99 to 19.99

I had many extra transactions taken out of my account for various amounts, I am getting a refund hopefully the new transaction from yesterday will be refunded

Tip for consumers:
They charged my account multiple times, i received emails saying I will be refunded in a couple days. After I closed my account continued to charge me almost double multiple times a week even after I had to call twice and I have been charged at least $200 from them since September and keep getting told they are working on it.I made them aware of the problem December 22 and have had $100 taken out of my account since then despite calling twice, charged again after refund emails and 2 call

I signed up for a "forever free" plan and was charged $34.99 back to back a month later. Don't buy into this scam, choose another company or send your loved one physical mail.

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY

I was able to send my son pictures of his children 3 and 5 year old. They don't understand where their Dad is and thought it would give him the incentive to do right.

Pigeonly lets you connect with your loved one without spending a fortune. My husband has received everything I've sent on the day pigeonly said it would arrive. It's fast easy and reliable.

My experiences were nothing, but positive. During my husband's transfer, pigeonly offered us a temporary local number while in transition. Then again upon arrival at new location.

Pigeonly could at least let inmates know when money has been deposited into their account. And the money they provide that says "on us" i have yet to see.

I don't trust Pigeonly. It is supposed to be a communications system but I had an email from them that looked like some kind of dodgey investment / pyramid scheme. Be very wary.

Easy sign up and directions were clear. Worked fast. Would suggest a better receipt or view on orders though. It will say processing but doesn't say if I finished on my part.

I think it's a cool app I like the little note you can send with your picture order. It made my inmate smile and feel loved. Isn't that the best thing ever to make someone feel good
