Good service!

Good service!

Saved us money in the long run as costs my partner half the price using the phone in there. Had no issues 1st month of using it was great. Since then our calls are cut off after 15 minutes, then other times they last longer and today my partner tried calling twice and the calls were failing and my mobile never rang. As you can imagine it doesn’t go down too well when your partner thinks you’re rejecting his phone calls. I emailed jailtele over a week ago raising the issue of my phone calls cutting off after 15 minutes but still awaiting a response

Calling issue

I bought the line for one of my friends he’s in jail. He can’t make more than one call a day and I’ve paid £22 for 1000 minutes.

The service is brilliant to use in the sense my partner never has to worry about credit ti stay in contact but the fact you can’t change your forwarding number yourself if you change your phone number is a big downfall for me! You have to contact customer service and wait for a response which I’m STILL waiting for. It takes too long and I just know my partner will be trying to contact me! Not happy about that at all
