Ok, Here it is everyone!!
I got my 1st bill associated with Tele-Net.
The phone bill for the local number telenet got me was 39.00. I had collect calls on there for every other day from Oct 29th to 12/15/02

The SBC bill for long distance was get this 60.00.
SO TOTAL I owe oh what 100 bucks?

GOD I'm in Love !!
I'm going to sit down and write Tele-Net a big THANK YOU since they saved me well over 200 dollars a month.
Merry Christmas Everyone!!

How incredible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so happy for you. What a relief!! I wish they could help me. Robert Owen said they can't do it in Michigan as CBS charges so much it wouldn't save us anything.

Now this is the type of feedback I was hoping for. I'm very glad to hear the guys at Tele-Net are providing a great service to inmate's families and friends.
Thanks Richard & the rest of you at TeleNet, Inc.

That is always good hear. Money being saved in a positive way. Was it that banner on here that we saw that said it can save you money from collect calls. I don't know who the company I didn't pay that much attention to it.

Cherrie,
Yep that is the company!! Tony and I are both so excited over my phone bill NOW I gotta make him STOP calling me so much......He has gotten to where he calls just to see what I'm doing

God Lovem!!

That is wonderful news!!!

That's really good to hear. I have just sent in my application to Tele-Net, with my luck it won't be available for my sweetie's institution in Alabama but what the hey, I'll try anything... I am sick to death of those $19 fifteen minute phone calls!!

If anyone knows of any pending/attempted legislation efforts regarding the phone system in the Alabama (or any Southern state for that matter) state prisons, do PM me and let me know... talk about criminal, those phone charges certainly are!!!

Lysbeth - I know what you mean!

When Wayne was at JO Davis in Atmore, Tele-Net could do the phone thingy there. So good luck with you!

He was moved before it was set up and hopefully will be moved again soon!

Danielle - Oh, that's good to know! Keep your fingers crossed for me! If I am ever able to get more than one lousy phone call a week (sometimes every two weeks) I'll be so happy I won't know what to do with myself!

Renee,
Does the department of corrections, not kick about this. That is cutting money off from them and I would be afraid that they would stop my phone callse from my loved one. Has this issue ever been addressed by them. Here in AL they check out the phone numbers before putting them on the lists. They have to be approved. Would they approve a number like that? Hope to hear more from you about this soon.
Thanks,
Pam

hey renee. do you have local service through them too? or is it just the number for him to call you. i need to do that so tyrone can call me but i have to start working first. and what if i owe my other phone company money? pm me and get at me about this. i am really interested. i filled out the form and all and got the quote back but i cant find it now. but i thinkit was like the call was going to be 1.20 but after their taxes and all its a little over $4 a call for 20 minutes. get at me please.
