402-978-7565

I set up a discounted phone plan with a service called jailcell. What they did was assign me a number for my friend thats being held by the joco mo.sherrifs office.  Instead of paying 10 per call it lets my friend call me for.an unlimited number of times for 30 days for 30.00. The numboer that shows up.when he calls is this number.

Try going to www.vinelink.com search for your friend by name in the state you think he is in.

Recently got a phone call about 946 was concern about who it was

I received a phone call from 402-978-7565 on 04/27/13 about 12:53PM. The Caller pronounced his name so quickly that I wasn't even able to understand him. Next a prerecorded message came on announcing this call was from a jail some where, but again I wouldn't know where. I don't usually receive phone calls from Inmates or Detainees or Prisoners. It sucks to be this person. He got himself locked up & as far as I'm concerned he can stay locked up. I hung up on him.

I have a long-time friend currently in the Clay County Missouri Jail, who is trying to set up with me a power-of-attorney so I can access her bills and bank accounts and pay them for her. She called twice; her calls are legit, BUT . . .

The first call came up as "Accurate Communications" on my caller ID, and when answered, I got the recorded notification this was an inmate, etc., a collect call, did I wish to accept. After getting through all that, we were able to have the conversation.

The second call is the concerning one. It was her again, but Accurate Communications said my telephone number was unable to receive collect calls, and gave a thirty-second "complimentary" call, which basically allowed us to say hi-bye before they cut it off. I then received a message following the call inviting me to call them back to settle the issue.

I first called my own telephone company (CenturyLink). My phone is not blocked from accepting collect calls, even from the Clay County Jail.

I then called Accurate Communications, which told me if I wished to continue receiving calls from her, I would be required to use a debit or credit card to set up a deposit account with them which she could draw on to make calls to me.

The law says that states, counties, or jails may not put "unreasonable impediments" on a resident's telephone calls (but may put time, place, and manner restrictions).

I do not use nor have credit cards. No bank in this area issues them or debit cards anyway. Moreover, I would be less than sanguine about handing over such information to a company I'd never heard of before.

When I explained this, the operator stated that "I could go to Wal-Mart to buy a pre-paid card and give them the number." (I wouldn't shop at Wal-Mart if you paid me, and anyway the nearest one is sixty miles from my home.) I asked if they have a rate chart. No. I asked if they would refund any balance should she get out before it was used up. No.

My next step will be to call the FCC. They are representing these calls as "collect" (that is, billed through my phone company) when they in fact want me to set up a non-refundable account (bypassing my telephone company).

In addition, this appears to be an unreasonable restriction (but on me accepting collect telephone calls, not on her ability to call), thus I will also be contacting the Kansas-Western Mo. American Civil Liberties Union, and the Federal Communications Commission to find out the legality of this practice.

While the call from the Clay County Jail was from who it purported to be, the manner in which this company is handling the calls seems shady at best.

Calling from a Jail in Franklin County, Nebraska

402-978-7565 called twice today,I couldn't understand what the guy said his name was
,maybe it was a wrong number ,I'm not going to accept a $5. for the 1st minute call
I can't afford this added on to my phone bill, and don't think it was anyone I know.
not even sure what jail it was , so can't look up who it is.

Have received many calls from this number, requesting that I accept  a collect call. I have stopped answering.
