I found this service awesome is quick covenient and easy for media dummies like me! Thank you for making this a wonderful solution to us non writers busy people.
This is a joke!;! Signed up for monthly service on 6/20. By the 25th it still had not sent my letter, card, postcard or photos. It was a 7 day trial but they scam you. It says they are sent right away for their 19.95 monthly fee but all they do is take your money! NOW WHY WOULD ANYONE PAY FOR THE MONTHLY IF NOTHING WAS SENT DURING TRIAL?
DO NOT SIGN UP! COMPLETE SCAM!
Never use the company, they suck and will charge your credit card with out your permission. It took them 30 days to get a letter to the prison facility.
Took advantage of photo offer free for 3 days- after reading reviews i went rigtht on line to delete my subscription. Low and behold i was debited on the same day $4.98 twice... i was warned by reviews that this would happen. I have emailed the company- you are put on hold with c. S. way tooooooo long... i am so mad at myself for not reading reviews firs... should i GET A FAST REFUND I WILL ADD APOST TO THE REVIEWS

I'm sick and tired of this dam company! They need get shut tf down asap! They been taking money from my card w out permission every month! And sometimes my dad trys to call me and it wont go thru.
Hi Champagne, I apologize for this inconvenience. Yes that is a fee that is automatically charged to Pigeonly accounts depending on your subscription type.The good news is our refund policy is simple so if you were charged incorrectly the appropriate department will correct the issue and refund the charges right away. Have you received any refund as of yet?
The process to receive a refund can be as quick as 3 days but can take as long as 14 days, depending on your bank.
I will be more than happy to locate and refund any charges that were done incorrectly if it has not already been done. Our wait times have been high in the past due to the demand of our services but we have expanded our team since then and wait times are currently very low. So feel free to give us a call or provide me with your first and last name and I will be more than happy to locate and refund the charges.
These people really helped me stay in contact with my wife her in Carolina and me in Colorado if not for them don't know wI would have done I would have had to get a second job to pay for the calls so really THANKS to all of you guys

It is nice to hear from your loved one quickly through this website. I would recommend it. You can write letters quickly, send photos, website links, and even more. Just check it out.
Hi Faith,
Thanks for leaving us such a wonderful review. We are glad that you loved our services, and our dedicated staff will be pleased to learn of your high praise. They work very diligently and it will provide them with great encouragement to keep doing what they are doing.
I cancelled this service 2 months ago after having it for a few months to try it out. Cancel means cancel, I dont use the service, they dont provide services right? NO... I didnt use the service for the last couple months and woke up this morning to look at my bank statement and there was a charge from them that was DOUBLE what the monthly subscription amount was. WHO DOES THIS! I won't lie down and allow this, I have seen other negative reviews but gave them the benefit of the doubt. That got me nowhere. Also, while I did have the service only half of the items I even ordered got to my loved one. This is a scam and it needs to stop. They have NO customer service skills and the little help they do have is not capable. STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY

Thank you and keep safe
I am TOTALLY irritated. I heard it was fraudulant and people were complaining but that was after I setup an account. The app is supposedly free. It is not! I had to enter cc info why? I didn't finish cc info so when they tried to charge my card it was declined. Weeks later I was miraculously charged. They make it impossible to cancel and get a refund. I called support and was on hold over an hour... no answer. If you request a call back you won't EVER get one. If you cancel through the app you don't get a refund. I WOULDN'T RECOMMEND THIS APP TO ANYONE!

Pigeonly is a joke when it comes to Customer Service and/or Relations.
I have been in weekly contact with these people since March 22 of this year in regards to a refund.
At first I was told there are absolutely no refunds.
(Until I the next day when I told them my son was never at the facility I paid for.)
I was "granted" (their word) a FULL REFUND on March 28.
On April 28 I received seven dollars and ninety nine cents out of a forty dollar refund.
I have been told on more than one occasion, by David Claiborne, that it is a glitch in the new computer system.
I call and get left on hold for fifteen minutes only to be hung up on. I call right back and my call is never answered by a representative.
I was told that his schedule is very busy so perhaps using Email would be better. (That is not the case. He never responsed to my email.)
Each time I have spoken with this company I am put off one way or another.
They are kind and very appreciative of my patience, but as in the real world they have taken advantage of my patience by sweeping my request under the rug (so to speak.)
Now
Hi Jill, I do apologize for any inconveniences you've experienced. I will be more than happy to assist you on getting this taken care of ASAP. May I please have a good contact number for you?

Hello Amber,
I am so sorry to hear that you have had such a hard time with navigating through the website and understanding what you need. Sorry that you haven't seen any updated information. So that we can assist you better and understand your concerns please give us a call at (800) 323-9895 M-F 6:00 AM-6:00 PM PST.
I like this cuz it's hard to keep in contact with someone who is inside. And pigeonly makes it easy. They help with everything but visits. I was shocked. If u haven't tried it you need to
I have yet to hear from my fiancé as to whether or not he has received my pictures through Pigeonly but overall it was very easy to get set up and work.
Thank you, Charlee your review is very greatly appreciated, processing indicates that your picture is on its way to the facility. We aim to fulfill your expectations and hopefully, our services reflect that! Thank you for choosing Pigeonly
Hidden fees? Yes. Multiple fraudulent charges per month? Yes. No support? Correct. All negative reviews are accurate. If you are thinking about using this company, find another. There are others. Read the positive reviews on here and visit the reviewers' profiles. You will see that many are fakes/bots, and/or paid to write false positive reviews on other scam websites - Usually the same websites, too. Very interesting. Don't feel bad, or think that they are "just a start-up" like you will often see here and there on a Google search. They are stealing your money, hoping to get away with it, and they don't feel bad about it. They continue to charge you, and will take months to refund you the money. I once threatened to go to my bank, and I had the refund the next day. The next time I tried, it didn't phase them, and they took their time. Sadly, you are better off cancelling the card once they have the info. The downside is that this company is significantly cheaper than other inmate services - and they know that, I'm sure. But it's not worth getting your money stolen. So... Thank you, Pigeonly. Next!
Seems like the charge you every week for service. I called to cancel service and the charge me again a couple days later. Be careful with this company!
Answer: Hello: To all who have suffered multiple, unauthorized charges by Pigeonly. I have submitted all necessary info to classaction.org to initiate a class action suit. My request is being reviewed by lawyers who will let me know if Pigeonly's actions warrant a class suit. You can go to classaction.org to review the process. You may also want to check out the current suits and settlements to see if you qualify as an injured party entitled to a portion of the settlement. If the lawyers decide we have a valid case, they will draft the complaint and file with the appropriate court. The judge must approve the class action before it can go any further; the lawyers will reach out to injured parties, and/or post the suit/settlement on classaction.org, newspapers, etc. If you aren't contacted, please make the effort to join this class action once it's posted. It doesn't require an appearance in any court, nor much of your time. These people are lining their pockets at the expense of so many of us already forced to deal with unfortunate situations. Let's stand together and stop this greedy corporate fraud. Paulashouseboat@gmail.com
Answer: Report to police. They are running a scam. Used all my available credit on my card. I am filing police report tomorrow and they will investigate. I'm done.
Answer: I have it and for the first month worked fine now not working so I just went and got a cell # in his area and said forget it not paying for a service that does not work And when you call customer service they keep saying they are working on the issue and it has been 5 days since my first call saying it wasn't working they are letting you get through for about a month then assigning the # to someone else attaching it to that persons number a big, Ole scam do not use them
Answer: You can send a postcard or letter to your loved one and include your assigned number. Or give them the number the next time they call. Also a lot of jails have implemented emails.
The company has garnered significant negative feedback, primarily due to persistent issues with unauthorized charges and inadequate customer service. Customers frequently report difficulties in cancelling subscriptions, resulting in repeated billing despite attempts to halt services. Many express frustration over unresponsive customer support, including disconnected phone lines and unhelpful email interactions. While some users appreciate the concept of the service for maintaining communication with incarcerated loved ones, the overwhelming sentiment is one of dissatisfaction, highlighting a critical need for improved operational integrity and customer care to restore trust and credibility.
