800-483-8314

Recording said this is the Dekalb County Jail.  Someone is trying to call me collect.

I keep getting recorded calls from "Global Tel Link" at this number:
800-483-8314. The recording says the number is one you call if you want to be billed for collect calls from them. But if you answer and push any buttons, or call them back at this number, you alert whoever this is to an active phone and I can't imagine what will come next. This nefarious type is the main reason for the DO NOT CALL REGISTRY. DO NOT ANSWER OR CALL THIS NUMBER. But BE SURE TO REPORT IT. To see how prevalent this is, as well as the problems they cause, go to:
https://whocallsme.com/Phone-Calls.aspx/800/m

I am on the DO NOT CALL directory, and still get these calls. I am going to pursue these people to the fullest extent of the law.

Global Tel Link is a collect call provider for prison inmates. http://www.globaltellink.com/ They just provide the service and the phone number. The call itself is probably from a prisoner.
DON'T ANSWER IT unless you are expecting it and want it.
Recording says that if you call the 800 number, you will be billed for the collect calls -from prison inmates- through the company. Unless you are expecting them, these calls should never be answered or responded to, but rather reported if they continue. Follow the rule: If you have Caller ID (and you should), NEVER answer an unknown caller. Let your machine screen it for you. You can always pick up if it is someone you know.

I have been gettng collect calls on my cell phone (310)xxx-xxxx whch is registered in the do not call list from a prison in the east.  This has been happening in an odd hours and very annoying.  I have no answered to any of the calls. But these annoying calls should be stopped permanently.

Im getting calls on my CELL from a so called Pitches Detention Center Inmate...i am not expecting a call from any facility and if i was i would expect the inmate to be identified.  This seems very deceiving.  Who's to say that someone will not attach some type of phone charges if i were to accept and further use my line as a calling card of sorts...how do i get it to stop!!!!  not cool

I don't know who is calling me from this number, but they are calling my cell phone, constantly all day. I would like it stop immediately!

I want to know who is calling me from this number. I have gotten aaobut 10 call or more today. I do not do business with this company.

I got a call from 601-825-9513 yesterday and said it was a collect call from rankin county jail and it hung up before the name was said and then this morning i got a call and it said unknown and they left a vm and it said it was a call from rankin county jail and no name was given and to please call 800-483-8314 to set up talk time. i dont know anyone in jail and i wish they would quit calling me...

I have been receiving the same calls. It seems wrong... I've received 4 now and am researching on filing a complaint and getting off the list or something.

RIght when we finish telemarketers, now we have to deal with prisons. *sigh*

Got a call today from Birmingham City Jail asking me to accept/and or set up a pre-pay account to let the caller place a call to me.  I searched (on-line) the Birmingham City jail records and recognized no names (fortunately).  What I find more distubing... when I got home there was a message on my machine... the same scam was attempted to my home phone.

I was getting calls from some weird service in Spanish last week and now today from these people. It says they are calling from some detention center (jail basically) and left a voice mail saying to call 800-483-8314 for more information. Of course I won't call.

I wonder if they randomly call any cellphone or how they get people's details. It is annoying.

How do I report them?

I am SO GLAD I got to this page. Same happened to me today.
I am thinking that if it were REALLY someone I knew they should have the person say their name (as in any "collect- phone call"

I usually "denounce" these phone calls to
https://complaints.donotcall.gov/

beware caller id says "unknown"

I am so glad other callers said they get them at odd hours (I got it 8:30 am, 1:30 pm, 6 pm) and I was getting worried who it could be although I don't know anyone in jail!) when the phone call goes to my voice mail nothing is being taped in it, no messages, so they may know when the voice mail appears vs someone answering? I don't know.

If you get a call from this number, this simply means that someone who is incarcerated is attempting to call your phone.

My husband is in prison he calls me every night but that number is not the one that will show up but if a prisoner has tried to call you collect through global tel link then global tel link will call you from the 1-800 number to try and get you to set up an account with them.  You can call 1-877-650-4249 to put a stop to it all.

As far as I'm concerned, if some third party calls on behalf of a 'prison inmate', the latters VOICE should be pre-recorded to verify the request.
OTHERWISE, CONSIDER IT A SCAM!

I have received three calls from this number while I was out today. Only one message was left on my machine. Male caller asking me to call back this number to arrange to collect. I have called every single person I know of and none of them are incarcerated, and they don't have anyone in jail either. It all seems rather fraudulent and there is absolutely no way I have, or will, return a call to these people. If what previous posters have said is true, then they will ignore my number from now on in the belief that it is no longer an active line. If not, well I will be reporting it because I am on the DNC list.

If you answer the phone when they call there is an option for if you don't want to receive those type of calls anymore. press the number and the calls will stop.

esta compania de global  es una estafa te roban el dinero se aprobechan  de todas las personas como nosotros k queremos comunicarnos con nuestros seres queridos

I have received two phone calls from an anonymous number on my cell phone.  It is a recording for global tel* link they left a message saying that I could call 800-483-8314 to set up an advanced payment system for an inmate at the Camden County Correctional Facility.  No one I know is in there.  I am also on the do not call list and I am going to file a complaint against these people.  What cracked me up was that the number on the caller id said "Anonymous"  I got the first call at 8:30 am, and the second one at 1:30 pm.  As I read above, I should be getting another call from them at 6:00 pm.  I do not have a cell phone for scams like this. They will be reported.

a number DOC keep calling from 7135741101. Nobdy say anything the first time but this time it said global tel n hung up.
