So I know the state of California is BS and are all about taking peoples money. But Securus should be ASHAMED of themselves charging all this money for a phone call! It’s ridiculous! I don’t know how you guys get away with these phone call prices and it’s really sad that you guys all are still in business! Maybe because us family members that want to talk to our loved ones have no other choice but to settle for this trash of a system! But I’m sure if it was up to us, you guys would be out of business! What type of income do you think we have! Come down on these damn prices!
Desired outcome: Come down on these damn phone call rates!!!!! You guys are robbing people and it shouldn’t be allowed!!!!!
Securus
Every time my boyfriend calls and I go to press 1 to accept call it just keeps talking like I never pressed 1 it completely doesn't acknowledge that I'm pressing one. I havnt been able to talk with my boyfriend because of this. Like what the hell?! This is what we pay for? A company that can't work for crap?! I don't know why it's do hard to fix this issue it's clearly a huge issue and other people are experiencing the same thing and complaining about it and securus does care they just take people's money and then to go through to customer service is close to non existing. Disgusting company.
Desired outcome: Fix the problem!
Sent phone money on my husbands phone account June 3rd 2022 When he tried to call me he heard nothing on the other end >he didn't hear the word >BlockBlockedBundledBundled>>acc;t All this senseless aggravating cloak and dagger ! Then I was told I myself had to FAX and I did that the very next day June 25th 2022 Then I got an email from >>Family & Friends>> saying they received the FAX Wednesday June 29th 2022 It stated that my FAX was being seen by John the supervisor in the upper office Another email stated I would have wait 10 days ! >."""Sorry for in convenience""" they said >>INCONVENIENCE? Wt? That doesn't cut it I've been so emotionally drained and beyond stressed out I havent talked to my beloved husband since JUne 7th 2022 He tired to call me June 9th and he couldn't get through but he didn't hear that word >Blocked < IF Securus Tech does not resolve this in 10 days >> I am calling a lawyer ! Consummer at Attorney Generals Office In fact I already emailed the Attorney General but I told the agent to wait until 10 more days and IF this continues they can go ahead and report them I have been subjected to fear emotional pain panic attacks ! Family & Friends profess to care about inmates and communications with loved ones? Really? Do they? My husband needs to talk to me and need to talk to him soon We are writting letters to one aqnother but I need to hear his human voice This company is inept and unprofessional to say the very least Thier actions are cruel > The upper office takes their fregin time > The supervisor John is >escalating>> his efforts to resolve this issue AND Who ever heard of a company that doesn't allow a paying customer to talk directly to a supervisor ! I shall not rest until they are accountable for having caused me fear and anxiety I am heartbroken that I have not been able to talk to me beloved husband ! These people are devoid of empathy dignity and integrity ! My issue needed urgent attention and I was not even given any reasons why as to why I had to prove my phone ownership in the first fregin place I had to hear it from Customer Service and again they all gave me the wrong advice as to what I should have done from the beginning ! Unprofessional and inept company I still have an account for my husband however even if the Securus Tech recording say's >>
I was charged twice for 2 different phones calls, then the phone hung up.
I received a couple of collect calls from Jackson county jail, put my credit card in, was charged $9.03 for each call which up after taking my money from my credit card account. One charge was at 1:25 pm abs the other was at 10/38 pm on May 11th 2022
Desired outcome: I would like to be reimbursed for both charges acquired but I did not receive.
Account
Someone has figured out my dad's (inmate) pin and has been using his money and I can't get ahold of anyone to change his inmate pin. All attempts with calling a service line just funnels me back to the moneybot to give more money.
Desired outcome: Someone actually contact me and help me.
I'm not receiving any calls from my husband
My last phone call was this afternoon around 12pm, ever since then I couldn't get anymore phone calls my husband says there is a message that comes up saying that the caller couldn't answer because the caller is on the phone but I haven't received a call since like I said today 4/15/22 at 12pm and I wish this problem gets fixed soon because when I called secureus they told me there are other customers facing this problem and that it's a scam blocking but how? Please help resolve this quick.

Services
SCAM ARTIST! I use this service to place money on my sons phone so he can call from prison. This is the place the prison recommended to use. Going online and mistakingly pressing a wrong button will cost you 15 dollars every time. I have been wrongfully charged several times and when u call to tell them you accidentally fat fingered the button and want to cancel that transaction it cost you 15 dollars to cancel.
Desired outcome: Stop being crimin
Customer service and video visit access
I am complaining regarding Securus Technologies due to rules that TDCJ and Securus have in place supposedly since the beginning of February 2022. They have disallowed the units to access and correct visits, which led to me missing a visit this month. They have also changed their rules on issuing credits for these issues. I have followed these new guidelines, submitted a credit request form 02/13/2022 and still have not been issued it. A ticket was issued on 02/25/2022 and now we are in March with no resolution. With that said, I was unable to have my normal February visit because the credit wasn't issued and because of that, I could not reschedule due to their system showing the one allowed each month was used already, where in fact it was not. I get the back and forth from both TDCJ and Securus. I spoke today with a Tazsha and she screamed at me and hung up. I didn't raise my voice nor yell or curse at her. I was however direct with my questions. The training on customer service should be priority but also the fact that if Securus wants all control of the way visits are scheduled, they must adhere to timely responses. A month after a missed visit with no refund or correction is absolutely unacceptable. I would like Tazsha to be spoke to, if not fired. She should not speak to anyone he way she did. Please feel free to listen to the call.
Desired outcome: I want my credit immediately. I want someone at Securus to contact TDCJ to fix. Since the credit and "used" appointment for February was not completed in a timely manner, I request two visits in March 2022 at the unit directly.
E message stamps

Filed a complaint with BBB which by the way it isn’t accredited with them complaints in the thousands yet this company is allowed to stay in business?
Desired outcome: My stamps I paid for or my money refunded
Unable to press 1 to accept Securus Inmate Calls
Every day my loved one calls me from prison and sometimes I can press 1 to accept the call and other times I cannot. There’s no pattern to it. I’ve called my cell phone service provider AT&T, Securus, Apple (iPhone), SCI, PA DOC, and GTL. Everyone passes the blame to someone else. AT&T has documented reports of this issue and their techs assured me it’s not on their end but instead it’s an issue with how the 3rd party company/service provider has the IVR system setup/developed called/relating to Dual-tone multi-frequency signaling (DTMF) which is a telecommunication signaling system using the voice-frequency band over telephone lines between telephone equipment and other communications devices and switching centers. The Touch-Tone system using a telephone keypad gradually replaced the use of rotary dial and has become the industry standard for landline and mobile service. The DTMF telephone keypad is laid out as a matrix of push buttons in which each row represents the low frequency component and each column represents the high frequency component of the DTMF signal. The commonly used keypad has four rows and three columns, but a fourth column is present for some applications. Pressing a key sends a combination of the row and column frequencies. For example, the 1 key produces a superimposition of a 697 Hz low tone and a 1209 Hz high tone. Initial pushbutton designs employed levers, enabling each button to activate one row and one column contact. The tones are decoded by the switching center to determine the keys pressed by the user. The issues I am experiencing is due to reverse voip dtmf. DTMF (Dual Tone Multi-frequency) are signals/tones that are sent when you press a telephone's touch keys. These tones (or data signals) are used to access voicemail (passwords) and navigate IVRs or attendants for large companies like banks. At times you may find that the far end will not recognize or react correctly to the input you made from your phone. These problems are typically DTMF issues.
There are several ways these tones are sent and depending on your connection may vary between one or another. Typically with VoIP DMTF tones are delivered either in-band (as a beep) or out-of-band via SIP or RTP signaling messages. Some types of delivery options are:
Inband- With Inband digits are passed along just like the rest of your voice as normal audio tones with no special coding or markers using the same codec as your voice does and are generated by your phone.
rfc2833- (Preferred setting in most cases) Is a standards based way to define signaling for various events including DTMF tones, fax-related tones and country-specific subscriber line tones.
Info- SIP signaling will negotiate preferences with the other end to help establish the call's parameters. The choices can then be set for what to send (outbound) and what want to receive (inbound). Only available with SIP channels and is transmitted through a SIP message.
Auto- Uses rfc2833 by default, but will switch to inband DTMF tones if the remote side does not indicate support of rfc2833. I’ve looked on tons of blogs and troubleshooting sites but all of them point to it being an issue on the company’s end and not mine/user’s so there’s nothing I can do to fix it! One person wrote this on iOS blog: DTMF Tone on IOS 13 issue: There is a new feature on IOS 13 on my iPhone X (I went into an Apple store and tested in on several phone models all using IOS 13) that shortens the DTMF tone. So when you press a number in a automated system it has a short beep instead of a long tone. Every number on a keypad has a different DTMF tone that is how automated systems recognize that you have pressed 1 for english. I have an iPhone 8 with IOS 12 and IOS 12 still has the long DTMF signals, so this is an IOS 13 issue. The short beep is not an issue when I am dialing out, but is an issue when I am trying to accept collect calls through a 3rd party, automated system when I press zero to accept the call it drops it because the DMTF tone is too short for the automated system to capture it. This is exactly what I am experiencing, both on my old iPhone 8 and my brand new iPhone 13 max. AT&T went through all my settings as well as Apple. Both companies saying there’s nothing I can do to correct DMTF issue as it originates from the 3rd party calling company. Yet how do I teach tech support or anyone who will listen and actually do something shout it?!
Desired outcome: I would like a call from company’s technician who can edit their voip DMTF settings OR a letter from them acknowledging the issue and outline their course of action (whether successful or not).
This is so ridiculous! How can I press 1 all for my calls to go through but later during the night pressing 1 isn’t working🤬 Securus PLEASE fix this issue or create another number to press!
The same problem is happening to me. My loved one can connect with all other people but mine won’t connect. I have called daily for a week. If they resolved
Yours please tell me how

Swollen Batteries in JP5 PLAYERS still under warrenty
Hello, Im writing to inform that 2 inmates have been trying relentlessly to have the issue of their JP5 replaced. They both have filed the appropriate complaints to have this issue resolved and are only getting their compliant tickets closed with no resolution. These inmates are being completely ignored and as a company that knows they (Securus Technologies) have provided several paying inmates with faulty equipment is absolutely ridiculous and shows lack of integrity. It's already absurd that no one will even talk to them about their concerns directly, but are always willing to take their money quickly as paying customers but they are only to be taken advantage of for financial gain. If they are not gonna be replaced with merchandise that is up to operational standards, please refund them their money.

Never used this before feb 21. Now I have a positive balance on my only account but it's blocked because of an imaginary old account.
