800-849-6081

i jst wnt to know who is callin me from the nunber

you get one call free for about 30 seconds from whatever jail they are in. about two minutes later this number calls you saying the name of the person calling you wants you to put money on an account so that he/she can call and talk to you.

Just got one of these calls from 8008496081 I do not know anyone in jail or prison so they can just stop! I just hung up as soon as I here collect from an inmate

no this number is associated with FRAUD. ABSOLUTELY no PHONE carrier will list a private citizens name as the HOLDER ON THE ACCOUNT. This has been reported again to FCC and FBI- they are currently under investigation.  They have people working inside of GLOBEL*TEL who is selling your information.  If you have family members who were ever incarcerated- they have gotten their logs and accounts and target YOU! You notice absolutely NO JAIL OR PRISON OR EVEN STATE IS IDENTIFIED. FCC REQUIRES ALL STATE PRISON SYSTEMS TO BE IDENTIFIED TO THE RECEIVING PARTY- DO NOT GIVE YOUR CREDIT CARD INFO...SPREAD THE WORD...THIS NUMBER IS REGISTERED OUT OF WESTMINISTER CA TO SUNNY LANG

THIS IS FRAUD....CONTACT   www.fcc.gov  if we all report they will shut them down- DO NOT GIVE YOUR CREDIT CARD TO THESE SCAMMERS

THIS IS NOT FROM A REAL PERSON IN JAIL...DIDNT YOU NOTICE THEIR WAS NO NAME OF THE INMATE???? DIDNT YOU NOTICE IT DIDNT IDENTIFY THE JAIL???

Dont fall for it. They have ppl on THIS SITE TOO trying to convince. I just got ripped off $465.00 taken out of my account. I contacted FCC and called my CC company- It will take 2weeks but they will investigate and I am filing fraud on them. Scam

calls from 1-800-849-6081

They need to STOP!!

I received calls from that customer service of America today 10/3/14. Didn't know what it was, I googled it to find out what it is. Thanks to you all it's fraud. I didn't talk to the people or whatever

It did give the name of the jail on mine it was a local county jail.  The inmates name was not said clearly so feeling this was a trick of some kind I hung up.  Hopefully they will not continue calling

If you need assistance please contact CSA at 1-800-849-6081.

So the let me get this straight. Your company has you troll 1-800-notes as well as Google to explain to us what they're about?! Give us a break. Troll elsewhere, please. Your company makes a killing from a 3 minute phone calls from some idiot who's gotten themselves thrown in prison. I'm all for capitalism. However,  if the company you work for is so legit , why do they have you trolling websites to explain what they're about?

1-800-849-6081 Call I.D " 800 Service"

Since I don’t know who possibly could be in jail, I assume it was an inmate who messed up the number and got a digit or few wrong and got my house instead. On call I.D. I didn’t know the number so I did not answer it.

This 1-800 number is through  “AmTel”  or  “ATN Inc.”  a “Confinement Telephone Specialists”
I have never heard of them before today. It seems to be a real business, albeit annoying when we get called accidentally due a to wrong number.

Here is their site and business address; www.atni.net/faq.cfm and their company is on 913 Dilworth Street   St. Marys, Georgia 31558   It checked out with the local P.D., they too have a inmate phone service with this AmTel.

This bit is took from the ATN site:

“ATN, Inc. limits the amount of credit you will be eligible for to $25 for overall usage. Customers who routinely exceed this limit will not be able to receive collect calls and will be required to enroll in a Discount Dialing Plan. Once your account is set up as prepay, it will stay prepay. Credit limits are subject to change without notice.”


 Apparently its a phone service of sorts where an inmate at a jail or prison, facility etc… can call and have a family member or friend set up an account for them so they can use a cell phone or something. So if you know somebody that could be locked up I guess it could be from them.

rec  a call at 8:33 PM stating it was from Brooks County jail

I suspect it is a legitimate "call-through" agency/entity that facilitates (primarily illicit) calls from inmates.  
Jailed inmates locally housed are allowed calls from in-house phones, but generally they have to call collect.  Different organizations are set-up for this purpose; thus, when they call, you have the option of accepting, declining, or -- in some instances -- blocking.
Sometimes the inmates get wrong numbers.  Sometimes they just call random numbers for the fun of it, and there are few repercussions; what have they to lose?
Invariably, this is from inmates in local county jails; usually, they have pending charges. The only way a convicted inmate from a penitentiary can call is with a smuggled cell phone, or a (extremely rare) specially approved call by the warden.
So, short answer:  Legitimate entity, but probably a wrong number or just an inmate who picked your number at random for kicks.  Unless you know someone in jail; then they want you to pay for the privilege of speaking with them.

I believe that this is a call from an inmate in a jail who wants you to set up a prepay on your phone so that you can accept phone calls from a State Housing Facility.

calls at odd times and on Sunday.
