Considerable Inmate Phone Services

By Elmer Richardson


PCS or Public Communications Services is one of the inmate phone service providers who give this service to inmates in order to stay connected with their near and dear ones. Public Communications Services have been providing this service for the past twenty years and have some cheap options following jail stipulations.

The family and friends of the inmates are serviced by an automated online service provided by PCS and the family can accept calls from inmates in participating jails. There are some very reasonable and easy options offered by these inmate phone service providers in the form of collect calls, prepaid calls and debit cards.

Public Communication Services offer the collect call option whereby the inmate can create a debit phone account from the jail commissary and in this case the amount is paid by him in advance through a debit card. The setting up is done free of cost and the inmate is allowed to call any number such as cell phone, hospitals, business or commercial numbers and even international numbers. It is a very safe option to either collect or prepaid calls. The rate offered is also a discounted one for many prisons.

The family can choose the prepaid option by setting up this account to receive calls from their incarcerated loved one if the facility is serviced by Public Communication services. Such a prepaid account allows the inmate to call the family even if these calls had be previously suspended or restricted on account of various reasons. The local billing company may have not billing contract or the call limit might have been reached. In such a case, PCS prepaid option allows the inmate to make calls to the family within 15 minutes of an account being set up and the amount deposited in prepaid option of PCS prepaid Daily Dial.

The collect call option is also offered by these inmate phone services providers, PCS, whereby the inmate can call only numbers that have been given permission by the jail commissary. The bill is sent to the called party at the end of the month through the phone carrier company. There are limits to these collect calls, as the inmate cannot call business or commercial numbers, hospitals or cell phones.
