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
I went with 3 stars, because I have not herd from my inmate or received a call... so my stars will change. I'm not sure if I did something wrong, or if I'm inpatient. Thanks though!
I was surprised by how quickly my letters were delivered! Easy to locate my loved one that is incarcerated. I would recommend pigeonly to friends and family!
I save so much time and money by using Pigeonly. I can write on my phone and send it in a 24/7 hr. They also let you keep up the status when they are delivering it and when they receive everything.
Michelle thank you for the positive feedback and review! We made sure to make our site and service easy to understand and convenient for amazing customers like you.
I don't mind that the three photos were one sheet. This site is a great idea. But mine were in black and white. Maybe I missed something in the fine print.

Pigeonly is a site where it makes it super easy fast and affordable to send pictures, letters, add commissary money and much more to your incarcerated loved one. Check it out, you'll love it.
Thank you so much for your kind words, Analisa. We really appreciate you taking the time out to share your experience with us. We count ourselves lucky for customers like you. We look forward to working with you again in the future!
A great to send letters also sends Photos as well. I have not tried it yet but I am working on it. All around a good site but needs a bit of technical support
This is very useful. And convenient for me cause I'm always busy and never have patience to sit down and hand write a letter when I can just text a letter since I'm always on my phone
Thank you for the wonderful review and for taking the time to share your feedback with Pigeonly. Our priority is customer service and we are ecstatic that we met that mark! Kind folks like you make our job a pleasure.
Love Pigeonly! I had no clue how to talk to my lover than I found Pigeonly! Best service ever! Best low rates and cool how you can write a letter right off your phone! I recommend them!
Ashley, thanks so much for your kind words. I’m so glad we were able to get you in contact with your loved one in a timely manner. We are pleased that you love the service and are delighted that you are a customer of Pigeonly.
Allowed me to send pictures make recieve phone calls and recieve a discount on them. Definitely worth a shot especially with their introductory offer.
Hi Kevin,
Thank You for giving us a shot, and even more for leaving us this review. Being a small company, most of our customers are referred to us by existing customers. Like you, all our other customers too loved using photos.
What a great way to stay in touch with your love ones... This site is easy and great to send pictures. Easy instructions and fast delivery. I definitely recommend it.
Hi Julie,
That is music to our ears! Thank you so much for that kind review if you ever need any more assistance don't hesitate to contact us, our first priority is a great customer experience.
I had five charges of $39.99 on my account during a 10 day period in November 2021, just one month after I started using it. The response provided when I emailed them was a "system upgrade that double charged". But my account was not $39.99 a month so it could not be a "double" charge. It was just random charges. Even after I reported it to the unauthorized charges, more charges were added to the account. I decided to cancel my credit card to ensure no more charges because I read on BBB and on this site that others, even years ago, were having the same problem. They did refund my money after a lot of back and forth. NOTE: The charges only show up on your credit card, NOT your account, so you need to check your credit card regularly. I kept asking for a proper invoice of charges and they refused to ever send it (I asked at least 5 times). The other odd thing is that on the site there is no list of what services you get for what fees. It's a very sparse website, I think for a reason. In any event, I strongly urge people NOT to use this Pigeonly, but if you do, check your credit card regularly. Also, if you see random charges and they say "wait a few days", you likely will just get more charges while you wait, as I did. I had to cancel my credit card. Why is this company still operating after doing this for years?
Tip for consumers:
Do not use this service Pigeonly. If you do, check you credit card regularly for unauthorized charges (they won't show on your account, only your card). Cancel your credit card immediately if this happens (I recommend) because the charges will continue.

PIGEONLY DOES NOT SETUP THE PHONE NUMBER THEY PROVIDE WITH THE FACILITY YOUR LOVED ONE IS IN.
PIGEONLY DID NOT RELATE THIS INFORMATION WHEN SERVICE WAS PURCHASED.
WHEN PHONE CALL WAS RECEIVED FROM LOVED ONE I WAS NOT ABLE TO SPEAK TO HIM WITHOUT DEPOSITING MONEY INTO HIS COMMISSARY.
FOR THE MOST PART AS LONG AS YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT THE REAL PURPOSE FOR THIS WEBSITE IS IT WAS PRETTY EASY.
DEALING WITH THE STRESS OF A LOVE ONE AWAY IS ENOUGH SO I UNDERSTAND THE FACT THAT YOU TRY TO MAKE IT EASIER. UNDERSTAND THAT THE LOVE ONE MAY BE IN FINANCIAL STRAIGHTS
SO LOWERING YOUR PRICES IS A GOOD IDEA
GOOD PROMOTIONS DO HELP
Tip for consumers:
NOT
AT THIS TIME

Very good, fast, convenient way to talk to your inmate. Pictures, letters all that.
You can send them anything whenever, they may not read it until later but you can send whenever wherever.
Hi Breanna,
Thanks for leaving us such a wonderful review. We are glad that you loved our services, and our dedicated staff will be pleased to learn of your high praise. They work very diligently and it will provide them with great encouragement to keep doing what they are doing.
After using their service which was no good to me, I had to phone them to stop taking money! Now after two years they have started taking money from my account again! I can't believe this
Pigeonly is a great app to use to get in touch with a loved one in prison. It's one of the best I've tried, I'll be sticking with this one. Thank you all for making this app so easy and useable.
Ive had two different accounts for two different inmates, returned. Due to the envelopes addressed WRONG! THE MOST RECENT WAS SOMEONE ELSE'S PHOTOS MIXED UP, THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO REMBURSE ME EITHER.

All access ,but only used three services.
Love how easy it is to use. Saves time and money! Look forward to continuing to use it. They need an app so we can download it on to the cell phone. Would make it even more convenient!
Gain trust and grow your business with customer reviews.
