CONSCALLHOME.com Conscallhome told me they would give me a local number near the jail which tricks the system into thinking the inmate is making a local collect call rather than a long distance collect call. They forward the issued number to my cell phone. And that local collect calls are cheaper than long distance collect calls. The jail uses GTL so I had to set up an account with $25 with them, regardless. Conscallhome told me using just GTL would cost $1 to $2 per minute to my long distance number. It was $14 to set up the account and $18 for a 300 minute plan. I had only used 102 minutes and was already out of funds with GTL. How was this possible? I called GTL and was told I am paying .21 cents a minute, regardless if the inmate calls my long distance number or the local number. Conscallhome misrepresented their services, I paid $32 for absolutely nothing, and they refuse to refund the set up fee, only the prorated minutes, and that is at their discretion, takes 8 weeks, and if you read other complaints, most people never receive their refund. DONT USE CONSCALLHOME untill you verify with the local company first what the charges will be. Florida Internet
