2. What is the Inmate Connect Voicemail Service?

Inmate Connect Voicemail services enables you to leave voice messages for a specific inmate that has been nominated by you when registering for our voicemail services. You can leave a message by dialling your unique voicemail number issued by Inmate Connect. The inmate can receive the message by dialling the same number from the phone system in the correctional centre, by adding the voicemail number to their approved numbers list within the correctional centre.
Payment for Voicemail services through Inmate Connect is done through a monthly subscription payment associated with the price plan you choose while signing up for the service. The subscription is a recurring monthly fee which is charged to your chosen payment card using Continuous Payment Authority. This is not a direct debit. The fee will automatically be deducted from your card on the same day each month. If the payment does not go through for any reason, the system will continue to attempt to take payment at regular intervals. After three failed payments, the system may cancel your subscription automatically. Until payment is received, your account will be blocked from use.
Each time you make a call the following process occurs:
1. You dial your unique Inmate Connect number.
2. Inmate Connect verifies your caller ID. If you are calling from the registered phone number, the service will prompt you for your PIN. Only calls from the registered phone, combined with the correct PIN will allow you access to the menu to leave your voicemail message.
3. You leave your message.
4. The inmate dials the same unique Inmate Connect number. The inmate enters the “inmate” pin. The inmate can then listen to any messages on the system, and reply.

3. Call Charges
