Hi Kevin,
Thank You for giving us a shot, and even more for leaving us this review. Being a small company, most of our customers are referred to us by existing customers. Like you, all our other customers too loved using photos.

I had five charges of $39.99 on my account during a 10 day period in November 2021, just one month after I started using it. The response provided when I emailed them was a "system upgrade that double charged". But my account was not $39.99 a month so it could not be a "double" charge. It was just random charges. Even after I reported it to the unauthorized charges, more charges were added to the account. I decided to cancel my credit card to ensure no more charges because I read on BBB and on this site that others, even years ago, were having the same problem. They did refund my money after a lot of back and forth. NOTE: The charges only show up on your credit card, NOT your account, so you need to check your credit card regularly. I kept asking for a proper invoice of charges and they refused to ever send it (I asked at least 5 times). The other odd thing is that on the site there is no list of what services you get for what fees. It's a very sparse website, I think for a reason. In any event, I strongly urge people NOT to use this Pigeonly, but if you do, check your credit card regularly. Also, if you see random charges and they say "wait a few days", you likely will just get more charges while you wait, as I did. I had to cancel my credit card. Why is this company still operating after doing this for years?

THE PIGEONLY AFTERMATH
August 25, 2020

FOR THE MOST PART AS LONG AS YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT THE REAL PURPOSE FOR THIS WEBSITE IS IT WAS PRETTY EASY.
DEALING WITH THE STRESS OF A LOVE ONE AWAY IS ENOUGH SO I UNDERSTAND THE FACT THAT YOU TRY TO MAKE IT EASIER. UNDERSTAND THAT THE LOVE ONE MAY BE IN FINANCIAL STRAIGHTS
SO LOWERING YOUR PRICES IS A GOOD IDEA
GOOD PROMOTIONS DO HELP

BEWARE
April 1, 2019

PIGEONLY DOES NOT SETUP THE PHONE NUMBER THEY PROVIDE WITH THE FACILITY YOUR LOVED ONE IS IN.

PIGEONLY DID NOT RELATE THIS INFORMATION WHEN SERVICE WAS PURCHASED.

WHEN PHONE CALL WAS RECEIVED FROM LOVED ONE I WAS NOT ABLE TO SPEAK TO HIM WITHOUT DEPOSITING MONEY INTO HIS COMMISSARY.

Very good, fast, convenient way to talk to your inmate. Pictures, letters all that.
You can send them anything whenever, they may not read it until later but you can send whenever wherever.

Love how easy it is to use. Saves time and money! Look forward to continuing to use it. They need an app so we can download it on to the cell phone. Would make it even more convenient!

This would be perfect if there was an app for logging in. And there should be a discounted rate for people with several friends and family that's incarcerated

Hi Vernon,
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave an excellent rating. We really appreciate your business. So sorry we do not have an app but the website is available on a tablet, phone or computer. Please let us know what we can do for you in the future.

Overview

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.
