Global Tel Link Complaint - Crooks And Hidden Fees - Collect Calling For Inmates

Collect Calling For Inmates - Complaint
Review by crooks on 2010-12-19
Global tel link are crooks and apparently not aware of how to run an business. This collect service allows you to place 25$ or 50$ on a account and connects you. What they don't tell you is that from that set amount 4.75$ Will be taken frm that(thats their fee)which isn't explained to you in their recording then there is a 2$ and somethimg fee for every 30min or less. Wait it gets better there is also a tax added to the amount. Furthermore if an inmate calls you and you don't pick up, and they hang up and call you right back global-tel-link charges your account as if you answered. Keep in mind that the recording tells you to accept a call you have to press 4.Not only are they charging you all types of hidden fees for using their service they charge you if you don't pick up.

This is still going on today. I received 2 calls and the recording never started - the inmate calling did hear the recording and waited. I did not so I hung up. They took out the full fee as it I had accepted 2 calls for the entire 15 min. call duration when in fact each call was less than 40 seconds due to no recording. That is a rip off!
