Verified ReviewerHow can I transfer money over to an inmate relocating
I want to transfer money over to an inmate who was relocated to another institution. He never used the money that I provided with Sutel.
I would hate for this money to go to waste since it was debited from my account. He is currently at Jackson State Prison. He finished all his diagnostic procedures.
Please, is there any way to transfer the money over for him to use, or is there another phone number to call: 678-670-****? Thanks.
- I need
Preferred solution: Full refund

Verified ReviewerDO NOT WASTE YOUR HARD-EARNED MONEY!
It's been 4 months and I still haven't received my money back after purchasing a service I couldn't even use. Buyer beware!!! They also offer to mail inmate postcards you can do online; however, most jails do not accept postcards or greeting cards of any type.
I tried the easy-to-access refund request button to no avail, and all the responses to my emails were of no help. They will offer a partial refund so the bank does not consider it a 'scam.' I was also offered other services like 'photo postcards,' but the jails don't accept their services. I am out $50 that I couldn't afford to lose.
The real service that the jail uses is very, very close to the same name, so be very careful when you do a Google search and confirm with the jail before you pay any money. They also tried to charge my account again the next month without my permission.

User's recommendation: SCAM! Deceitful business practices!
These people are a scam. Why are they still in business especially that of a prison service?
These people charge your card without giving you the opportunity to select an amount. Then to find out you are paying for a membership, the jail facility is not supported and then they are charging $19.99 for a number you are unable to use.
Worse part they are very rude and disrespectful.
Run, do not do business with these people. They should be the ones in jail.
User's recommendation: Not in this lifetime

Verified ReviewerRefund
I have called three times to cancel my account and get a refund. The first time hours after realizing I got the wrong company.
Then again a week later, then another week, no refund yet. They say I would get it in 5 to 7 days, still waiting. These people belong in jail. They say the cheapest calls but you pay $49.98 for three months, then you have to add more money to get a call or send a postcard.
There is no way this is cheaper than the other company. Then the refund issue, they are thieves when they don't give you your refund after they say they will.
It's a scam and needs to be shut down. Do not put your money into these people.

Company fixed the issue and I have been provided with apology. I was provided a partial refund.
Don't be fooled in buying phone time for 49.98. You will still have to add funds to the phone number they provide and u will not get a full refund they will charge you a non-refundable charge of $20.00
