Yes. If you were talking about something inappropriate on the phone such as drugs or crime that you intend to participate in, then yes, they can stop the inmate from calling you

i need to no how to ecsept calls from the remand how can I let them call me my phone number is blocked

Unwanted phone calls

I get a call from them twice a week and my phone number is on the don't call list...stupid!!

Didn't answer phone went to answering machine person said call was from Crawford correctional facility, if I would receive this call press 1 if not 2.   This was at 10:30 pm. 7.21.2016

I don't know who is calling from this number but have gotten calls at all times of the day.

How does this scam work? Whenever allowed to make phone calls, real inmates dial random numbers until they find somebody willing to help. As soon as the victims answer, the scammer comes in with a quick apology for disturbing them followed by an emotional short story, such as being thrown in jail because he beat up a guy who assaulted his daughter, an hour ago.
The prisoner will ask the victim to call a number where supposedly his daughter is, to make sure she is okay. He will say that the number is impossible to reach from the prison he is in, or that they are not allowed to call cell phones. People fall for this scam as they think they are doing a good deed.
In reality, what victims do when dialing the number provided is just… call-forwarding their own telephone lines. This way, after getting you to forward the number, the scammer can call anywhere he wants, without being charged.
In a different variation of the scam, the callers cannot even be jail mates. They could be regular scammers trying to make phone calls on your dime. For example, they would pick names from the phone book with specific ethnicity and tell the operator they are part of their family.
How to avoid:
Check the forwarding code in your country and make sure you never use it when asked to by someone else. For example, in US the code to forward your number if you belong to the Verizon network is *72. To deactivate it, it is *73. Whether you are in Australia, the United Kingdom or Canada, always find out these numbers for your specific network!

can anyone tell me what the cost of acceptng a telemate collect call costs per min.

I have received many unwanted/ unknown collected calls from this numbers for the last 3 days. Please block or take action regarding scamming. Thank you.

This number calls twice a day for the last three days with the inmate collection call automated voice as so many have mentioned. I am in Manitoba and my number is a cell phone.
Didn't answer and won't answer. I do have a legitimate debt collector calling me. Perhaps this is a new way to get to the collectee?

Average call per min $1.20.  From Edmonton to Ontario.  It adds up at the end of the month.

I think you need to take spelling lessons bad!!!!

I received a call from this number asking me to accept a collect call from someone I've never heard of and would like it to stop

They actually don't have to put the numbers of people they call on a list unless they are doing time and calling from a penitentiary,   all local calls that they make they have to pay for out of their inmate phone account costing them .75 cents. They can use the phone as much as they like anytime they are out of their cells and they also have to pay for long distance calls unless they call collect in which case you can just not accept it. And each call lasts for 20 minutes

I don't not wanting his call coming to my, he's not rational. He uses threats

then call the police!
