Prisoners incarcerated in detention centers are allowed to contact their near and dear ones as well as their legal advisers with the help of prison phone calls provided by various telephone company services. The prisoners phone calls can be barred suddenly, due to a variety of causes and if this happens, he has has the option of getting the services of companies like V-Connect. V-Connect services enable prison phone calls even in cases where these numbers were blocked earlier by the detention center.

Prison phone calls are enabled by V-Connect in the form of collect call service. It is a very good option when the inmate is experiencing blocks on his number by the local telephone company. A variety of reasons could cause this.

The phone service is sometimes suspended by the Value Added Communications (VAC). Hence, in the absence of a billing contract, the service does not exist anymore. The prisoners can make only a limited number of calls per month and when they exceed this, the VAC suspends calls for that month. When such things happen, the inmates can still connect with their family by using V-Connect services which offer prison phone calls.

They have a prepaid plan which is called as the Advance Pay account service and this option is offered even to numbers which have been previous barred from receiving the phone calls. The friend or family member must pay an Advance amount to form a prepaid account with V-Connect services. Once this is done, the inmate can make prison phone calls to this number. The charge of the cost varies with the location of the phone number of the family or friend with respect to the correctional institute. The charges along with any applicable taxes are reduced from the prepaid account balance, once the call is accepted.

In case the prisoner is shifted from his facility to any other, the fids are also changed but this depends on whether V-Connect has a base in the new locality. If this is not so, then the amount left in the prepaid balance is refunded to the family. V-Connect also charge a fee of $4.95 in case no calls are made for a period of three months. This charge begins after the completion of 180 days. But if the inmate resumes calling, then the charges are stopped. Otherwise they continue till the entire prepaid balance is over.
