I get calls from this #.  The person calling is in prison in NC.  This is GTL and I get the same message as everyone else if I don't have money in the GTL acct.  You must deposit $25 or $50 to your account.  The calls are $3.40 each so it doesn't take long to use up $25, then you start getting that message again.  They must let the inmates call as many times as they want (for their share of the $3,40 per call) because this inmate calls as many as seven times a day.  I either let it ring or pick up the phone and hang up.

it is obvious that they are calling from a "cell" phone... their "jail cell" phone....

I would appreciate this number not calling me... Its very annoying and I'm not going to answer a number from someone I don't know...

This is from a correctional facility in Writesville Beach North Carolina. A maximum security facility.

ISorry the dish debt collector number is 713-581-1389

Debt collector for Dish Network. uh- oh. They found me.

I don't know ANYPNE in ANY prison. Better be the LAST time that recording leaves a voicemail

Its for men

I know someone in prison that called me off of this number but I didn't answer it because i'm not sure of how much it will charge me. Can someone please help?

My bf called me on this number the other day..... How much does it cost to collect this phone call? He is in prison in NC? Id love to know the price. Thanks

Seems like your brain cells were already lost.  Before you call someone else stupid, maybe you should check your spelling first.  It SHOULD have said "You're really stupid instead of YOUR really stupid.  You should have spelled it "ALLOWED" instead of "ALOUD"  They sound alike but have totally different meanings.  Look 'em up. NOW who's stupid?  I'm expecting an asinine (look that up too) comment from you but guess who won't see it.  ME!!!  I only come to this site to check out numbers from my called ID.

Its from prison in Nc.

Getting calls from this number daily, multiple times.  Ten, fifteen calls a day. Some minutes apart.  I never answer and will be contacting my carrier today for instructions on blocking.

I received an unwanted call from an inmate.  I would like to have my number blocked immediately.

called back the global tel link # that called me and they show no record of my number being called.  Several hours later when I'm sleeping (work nights), I have 30 missed calls from them.  This is ridiculous along with the name calling comments...let's just grow up!

This call is from a women's prison in NC. Global Tel-link is the service that handles pre-paid calls from jails and prisons. Gobal Tel-link is in Houston, TX. I have blocked this number before, but apparently this company does not take their blocks seriously. Now I will report it to the NC State Attorney General.

Sounds like they found a new way to scam people. Out of fears that someone you know, or care about might be incarcerated and needs help.
They figure they can use this number because it seems to be official being that it is a working prison number. I'm wondering what happens after you pay for or accept the collect call. Is it someone you know calling for help or a phone scam to bill you per minute?

Has anyone gotten through to them to find it being legit? Other then those that have been using the number to contact people they know are in prison?

Has anyone actually gone through the hoops and had a looong lost friend or family member on the other end in need of help?

Not everyone thinks they know someone in prison but you never know. These days anyone can be locked up. ANYONE. Even Mary poppins. The system is corrupt.

For example, what if you were driving through a town where a crime was commited, and you are driving the same car as the criminal. Mistaken identity and BOOM, your in jail. What if you had to contact someone but all you could do was make a collect call? Then what? This could be legit. This could be Bs.

Everyone has that fear in the back of their mind that someone they care about could be in jail.
They know this and are now taking full advantage of our good nature.
Not cool...

I received this call and it said it was from a correctional faility and the name was ( Micheal Wood).

I have been called twice today. A woman answers the voice mail. I cant hardly understand her.

Answering a two year old post? Really?!

*You're really stupid.
No, they are not *allowed cell phones.
*It's a collect call, you idiot.

Watch who you call stupid because from the way you type, YOU'RE the idiot.  I think those brain cells were gone before you put your fingers to the keyboard.

who called me

Please stop calling my phone number p[laese

The call you are getting from phone number (713-581-8050) is from a jail in Texas...
The company is (Global Tel Link)

No need to do all the name calling. Many people do not know how the system works  inside prisons.

I've also known for this company to give out personal information, however they deny that complaint.

This is a number that is placed through an inmate in a prison. Inmates normally are NOT given permission to call you in the middle of the night. Sure makes a person wonder. The call comes through Global-Tel Link in Texas. This company sucks.

THIS IS B***S***! YOU SO CALLED COMPANY IS NOTHING BUT B***S***!

Dnt knu u stop clln

It is a collect call from an inmate, I get the calls from my son who is an inmate in North Carolina
