Hi all :D
Just wondering if anyone has managed to set up & receive collect calls on their cell phone? I've called my network provider but they're absolutely useless & couldnt really tell me if i'd be able to set up a prepaid account with a 3rd party company..
Thanks in advance xo

[B][COLOR="DeepSkyBlue"]yes you can you just have to set up a prepaid account to your cell phone, thru global link, the number is 877-650-4249 u have to have a credit card to put money on your account. well thats how we do it here Cali[/COLOR][/B]
Chrissie please make sure that the DoC where you pal is permits calls to cell phones even via a third party service provider, and that you pal is permitted to make overseas calls. If your pal is not permitted to do those things, then if you get caught you and he could face serious criminal charges.
sunray's wench is right.
Just like talking about it in public could get you into trouble.Always remember we are not the only ones who are reading these posts.
i know his dad set up a prepaid account for their calls, and he says he has the info on doing it...im just not sure if it works with cell phones, but i do know that he can call overseas. He's in AZ if that helps any xx
[B][COLOR="DeepSkyBlue"]here in cali you can set up the accounts to cell phones.... AZ shouldnt b much differnt!!!![/COLOR][/B]
It depends on the phone provider at the prison.
Not every prison has GTL, and that is the worst - they are a HUGE pain in the neck. If nobody here responds, you might want to post in the AZ forum to find out first of all who the phone provider is, then I think other people can more accurately help you.
far as i can see they use these guys

not sure if you would be able to use a cell phone tho.
I went out to that website UKGAL and it says something about getting free unlimited wireless minutes on calls from correctional facilities so maybe 3rd party won't be too hard.
I hope you pull it off Chrissie. Let us know.
I think that free wireless thing only works in the usa. but i have just read AZ ia fine about cell phones long as it is linked to a prepaid account.
I smell a I JUST HAD MY FIRST CALL thread coming from chrissie real soon.
It looks like it will cost you over a $ a minute tho.
But then she won't be the whiny petulant Chrissie we've come to know and love.
Eh....she'll still complain about mail.
Love ya Chrissie!!!
:roflmao:
Ahhh, i'd still moan (often) about mail & missing calls etc
Thanks for the info ladies, i'm utterly clueless when it comes to those kinda things! I know he can only make calls that are on his approved visitors list so i've gotta get that done first & foremost..have to wait for my new passport though so i can put the number on the application form...my current one is very close to it's expiry date & after reading about Fairygirl's problem, i dont want to risk it! On the form though, it only gives you the option to provide a home number (on the online version at least)...
@ UKGAL:
Where did you manage to find the info that they can call cell phones?
