Interview with Girliegirl, Paul and Tyler

JM: Did you have regular access to telephones?
Girliegirl: No
Paul: yes
Tyler: Yes, anytime we were not locked down (sent to our bunks). Most days the phones are available from 8am to 10pm.

JM: What types of charges applied for calling people? How much money would you guess the average inmate spends per week on phone calls?
Girliegirl: Collect only
Paul: collect calls
Tyler: You call collect. If you are calling a cell phone the person must setup an account at vconnect.com and put money on the account via credit card. Then each call is $3 plus charge per minute.

JM: Did you need to buy phone cards to call out?
Girliegirl: No
Paul: yes and no
Tyler: NO

JM: Did the jail screen your calls?
Girliegirl: I'm sure they did. We only got to use the phone 3 times a week and for 10 minutes each time.
Paul: Probably!!!!
Tyler: Yes, the phone indicates that calls may be monitored.

i just set up a vconnect account cuz my girl just called twice and it said i had no funds, so does that mean that if she calls again it will work, or do i have to tell her the confirmation code or is it automatic because i set ti up to my phone numeber

What phone company can I use so that I don't need a V-connect account. I trried MagicJack and WOW! but they still require a V-Connect account which is way too expensive for me.
