By availing of advance pay service system offered by V-Connect the prisoners who are in jails or other related facilities are able to talk with their family or close ones. The family or friend can opt for this inmate collect call service by opting for their prepaid cards. Even in cases where these numbers have been restricted by the particular institution the inmates can call up and talk to them.

The telephone company sometimes places blocks on the numbers over receiving collect calls. In some cases due to Value Added Communications, they do not have a billing contract and hence cannot avail the service of the local telephone company. VAC allows a monthly limit for billing to the local telephone company and if this is reached then the account of the person is suspended. In all the above cases the inmate can avail of the inmate collect calls provided by V-Connect.

The family is able to receive the calls from their inmate relative by paying to the Advance Pay account. This is possible for numbers that had earlier been restricted. The family must create a prepaid account with the V-Connect and when the inmate calls them, if the call is accepted then the amount of the call plus some applicable tax is detected from the balance amount. Payments are easy as they can be made by credit cards, check, money order, debit cards and so on. The charge amount depends on the inmate's location and the distance between the two numbers. An additional transaction fee is also levied.

Whenever an inmate is transferred the fids also is transferred provided the V-Connect services are present at the new place otherwise the money is refunded. If an account is stagnant then V-Connect charges $4.95 per month which is an inactivity fee if there is no call activity for 180 days till all the amount paid is over or till the calls are resumed.

Setting up your advance pay account for the inmate call collect is quite easy as you can use your MasterCard or your Visa and the minimum amount for an account is $25 whereas the maximum is $100. For money orders there is no transaction, and for others it is $7.95. Alternatively, you can call 1 800 -913 - 6097 and pay.
