3.3 Institutional Automated Collect Operator Service
Encartele, Inc. provides Institutional Automated Collect Operator Service to inmates of confinement
facilities. Service may be limited by the administrators of the institutions as to availability, call duration
or calling scope. Calls are billed to the Called Party. The Called Party must actively accept charges for
the call. A per-call service charge applies to each call.
Institutional automated collect operator service allows inmates to make collect calls to terminating
locations anywhere within the state. An automated system prompts the caller and the called party
through user - friendly instructions. The called party must accept responsibility for payment of the
charges by dialing the designated digit for acceptance. If a call is not accepted within five (5) seconds
of the automated voice recording prompt, the automated recording is replayed a second time. If an
acceptance digit is not received five (5) seconds after the second recording is completed, the call is
terminated by Encartele's system.Use of the automated collect calling service is subject to both the
rules and regulations of the Commission and the institution's administrative restrictions.
3.3.1 Classes of Calls
Automated Collect Calling: are calls which are placed by an Inmate who dials all of the
digits required to route the call and who follows the Encartele system prompts, enabling the
Called Party to accept the charges for the call. If the Called Party does not accept the call, the
call is terminated and no billing applies.
Prepaid Calling: Prepaid Calling is a prepaid calling account used by inmates and their
families to pay for telephone calls. The Customer establishes a Prepaid Account and adds
money to their Prepaid Accounts from time to time. When an inmate places a call to the
telephone number associated with the Prepaid Account, a message will inform the Customer
of how much money is available in their debit account. Prepaid accounts are available to all
customers. These accounts give customers the ability to control the amount of calls occurring
to a specific telephone number. The call will be made with the Customer’s phone account
debited for the cost of the call. The Customer will not be charged for the call on their monthly
phone bill under the Prepaid Account system. Within the prepaid system, customers can
setup an account either online or through Encartele’s operator center whereby they can then
make deposits for calling time. After an approved deposit is processed into an account,
Customers can then start receiving calls.
Prepaid Calling Card: Prepaid Calling Card service is an optional service that is made
available to our correctional facility partners. The prepaid calling cards are sold directly to the
correctional facility residents through the institutions commissary system. These cards can
only be utilized on Encartele’s network and may not be used outside the correctional facility.
Prepaid cards are sold in multiple denominations which are determined by the correctional
institution. $5.00 and $10.00 denominations are the most typical. Residents that purchase
prepaid calling cards can place calls to domestic US telephone numbers as well as
international telephone numbers. When an inmate places a call using the Prepaid Account, a
message will inform the inmate of how much money is available in their prepaid account. All
telephone numbers that are called through the prepaid calling card system are subject to
Encartele’s telephone number screening system which prevents calls being placed to
designated blocked numbers.
