If you use your cell phone it is extremly expensive! If you use a landline it is only 2.60 a call. It's a lot cheaper. In my case it's not a scam either.

This company keeps calling me . My ex is in State prison and my friend using the county jail. They been calling from the same number..IS IT A SCAM?? I've notice my cc are slowly being bill they other names of different foundations...I have recently got new accounts ..but just wanted to know if it's legit and Wat number is ??

On Saturday, 4-20-13 at 5:54 PM (CT) I got a call from 713-981-0098 on my cell phone. The caller ID only said, "Houston, TX". I had my boyfriend answer the phone b/c I hate answering calls from numbers unknown to me. He immediately had a puzzled look on his face and explained that I had a call from an inmate at a female correctional institution. He said it was very difficult to understand the recorded message, but believes the inmate's last name was "Washington". I don't live in Texas and I know no one in that state. So I knew this was a mistake or a scam, and told him to hang up which he did. The next day, Sunday, 4-21-13 at 9:25 AM (CT), I got a phone call from "Unavailable". I answered it despite my better judgement. It was a recorded voice which stated, "You have a call from inmate, 'Global Tel Link', located at correctional institution, 'Global Tel Link'". That made no sense to me what so ever, but I continued to listen. The menu options included pressing "1" to stop calls from "this inmate", so I pressed "1". I wish I had done some research on this phone number and company first though. Some people on other sites have said that by pressing any number in their menu, they have continued to get phone calls from this company or correctional institution. It's nearly 2:00 PM, and I haven't gotten any other phone calls related to them. Hopefully I won't get anymore.

Thanks for the info. I got a call from this number which I let go to my voice mail. The low life that sells our phone numbers should be boiled in hot oil .

I don't know anyone incarcerated and I'm sure I won't accept the charges if I did

i tried to call this number back right after it called and it said its not a working number. had any one reported.them to the bbb

Have received multiple calls from 866-230-7761 - Unknown Name - Unknown Number, not to my landline, but to my Google Voice number. I only give my Google Voice number when I have to provide a number for an online survey or contest and don't want people calling me.

Not sure what number called me, but the automated message said it was from the Los Angeles County Jail System and mentions 866-230-7761 for customer service. When I call back, the automated message identifies as GlobalTel. Still deciding whether I want to go any further.

i keep getting these calls to my phone 818-277-5878    i have put it on the DNC list and they keep calling me night and day !!!!  


Remove my number from your database  818-277-5878  !!!!!!

I received a call from global tell link asking me if I want to accept these calls. I am not interested.

Global Tel, an inmate is trying to call this number.

this is a Fu-King scam, do not accept anything and report to the FBI internet fraud division if you use voip service, otherwise the local phone company/ police should be able to identify..prosecute if asked.

I have received 2 calls from 866-230-7761 saying there was a inmate in San Jose main jail that wanted to call me collect.  They wanted a credit card number to use.  I'm sure!!!!

Call 1-866-230-7761 to get your number removed.

Not sure where everyone else is coming up with their explanations for who it is but it is Wells Fargo Financial - Debt Collection Dept.

Nikkii that looks like a fake number.  On Global Tel-link's website they have the number for setting up an account and contacting them.  Things have changed since you guys wrote here, though...the calls are WAY more expensive now.  Also, I had $25 on my account a couple years ago, but now I am seeing that they close your account and keep any remaining funds unless you close your account and request a refund within 90 days.  TOTAL RIP OFF because you're dammed if you do and dammed if you don't close the account.  They charge a fee for closing it it some states, too.  The jails get a kickback from the company, too.  But that's what our prison system as become...a money making venture, rather than what it used to be...for REFORM and REHABILITATION...now it's just PUNISHMENT and a very lucrative industrial complex.  Private companies are guaranteed 95% beds filled when they contract with the government to administer some of the federal prisons in the nation here.  Going through the court systems with both of my sons, has been a huge E
EYE opening experience...one that tells me how corrupt the system is and how those who have plenty of money do quite well in the system, while those who don't get screwed.  And TAXPAYERS foot the bills and some!!
