How do I make an account? Because I can only join with a number from a prisoner, but I don't have one yet.. so how am I suppose to get in touch with them?

Sounds like a loss of privileges, Sally. Probably in the hole or - as you said - prison lockdown.

Hi i wanted to know why all of a sudden jpay video conenect is not there as an option on my penpals jpay page and my penpal hasnt got back to me in 2 weeks. Does that mean he is in the hole or his prison might be in lockdown?

I had the same problem since I also live in the Netherlands and out cards don't accept the IDEAL thing we have! My best advice for you is to create an account to Revolut, it's free and there you can use a Virtual Card just for online things including stamps Ofcourse!

With the kinvict card (and possibly the others also) you can use any American address and it will be totally fine. Won't raise any red flags :) I'm using my best friends address who lives in the US

Sunshine-1997 I ended up using a Kinvict card which is pretty hassle-free. However, you can check the Facebook group for more service ideas which could be cheaper. I'm talking about virtual cards that are usually pre-paid.

How can I have an American CC with an American address? You are not allowed to use a fake address, so that is not an option (otherwise it is fraud)

jhannavp I swear!! My German card just randomly worked once after many failed attempts and then never again! -_- It is beyond broken. Even an American CC card with an American address would not work no matter how much I tried.

Blue Skies, I'm living in Germany too and my CC works for buying stamps/sending money.. But it doesn't surprise me it all, JPay is just an illogical system :D

Hey :) I'm using Jpay and live in Germany. My German CC would also not work for buying stamps since it often needs a card with an American address. So, I got a Kinvict card. Although, a lot of people believe it's a bit expensive. Feel free to join the Facebook group named "JPay and Securus Users Forumfor more ideas and for other jpay questions you may have now or in the future :)

Cheers! :D

Thank you all for respondng! I figured out I have to use a VPN to relocate my PC to US, but I am not able to buy stamps since my Debit Card. I guess it is because my card is Dutch because I will pay for the stamps and within seconds JPay refunds my money. Do you have any idea how to solve this?

You will find a button on JPay's website: "Help" (next to the green Login button)... there you will find instructions on how to register, etc. @Sunshine-1997

My suggestion is to find someone that you are interested in writing, write or print out your initial letter and then send it to them via mail. Once you find someone you are interested in, their inmate # should be in their profile. Not all inmates and facilities use JPAY. Hope this helps.
