This number is to a company called Prison Call Solutions (PCS). They help inmates and their families have less expensive phone charges by deposing funds into an account that serves as a local calling card, to avoid long distance charges. this company serves all US jail facilities, hence all the different caller ID locations.
Do you want to accept a call from... "It's me!" No I do not. I hit 7 to be taken off the list but then I was prompted for a pin number. Not sure if it was successful. Will this web site do anything other than let me complain??
Yeah, I get this call on my messages that sounds someplace like a prison (or perhaps hell) and some guy named "Billy". I don't know a "billy" nor anyone in prison.
So are you telling me they are calling complete strangers and trying to have you fund their telephone calls? Seriously? I guess they don't have enough to do.
The call i'm getting identifies as coming from DuPage County Jail. Caller ID displays "man" or "PCS" as has happened to others. I'm ignoring it. Hopefully it will go away. I just de-listed my phone number though and found out you can block these types of calls through my provider. Going to do that if this continues.
I also received a call from this number, 5-27-11. And I also didn't answer. I rarely use a phone and pay $1 a day "airtime" when I do... so I don't answer unknown calls that will cost me a dollar. hehe
I suspected it was a first call from a buddy in "detention."
Strange that a number in TX handles all these various places, must be some kinda outsourcing to the private sector... and the one that handles the most usually does it the cheapest... so they get more business. A "vicious cycle."
this is quite annoying, i have received 5 calls today from this number - automated msg that an inmate at coconino detention center in arizona is calling. tried the option 7 to block my number but then it asks for a pin????
