Pigeonly Reviews Summary

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.

Inmate call service
September 24, 2020

Pigeonly does provide you a call service but the additional fee isn't listen until after you have already picked a plan. You have to pay another company a fee for the calls you receive from the inmate. If that was stated at the very beginning, it would be a lot easier on everyone because there would be no hidden fees and no extra costs.

Hello Rhonda, We apologize for any disappointment you have experienced while attempting to sign up for services. There is no payment due until our customer's are fully made aware that some facilities require a payment provided in order to initiate services. Since this is not a requirement for Federal facilities, the disclaimer is withheld until a plan is picked. Feel free to call an Account Manager, M-S 6-4 P.ST. At (800) 323-9895 if there is any complications regarding the voice service. We will be happy to discuss the particulars in full detail and get your issue resolved as soon as possible. Thank you and stay well.

Hello Sarah, thank you for the feedback. We feel that customer's such as yourself appreciate the convenience of not having to leave the house to send the photos and letters to your loved one. As far as the fee to the various phone companies in the industry, we attempt to save you money with a better rate than your personal number and when we are not in position to do so, offer a money-back guarantee. Feel free to call an Account Manager, M-S 6-4 P.ST. At (800) 323-9895. We will be happy to discuss the particulars in full detail and get your issue resolved as soon as possible. Thank you and stay well.

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

Price is great
Saves so much time with having to go get photos printed and hand write letters and go to the post office and pay more put to mail it over and that takes however long as far as I no it's pretty instant once I have sent my letters or photos that's all I have tried at the moment but I'm sure the test is just as easy

I have needed to get in touch with a loved one. I set up the account, paid for the number and paid for the initial $25.00 deposit. That was Friday. Today is Sunday. My loved one has been trying to call me 6 times today and each time I have been directed to put in my card number due to low funds. I called them this morning and asked why can't I use the service I paid for. Their answer:
Your payment won't be processed until Monday.
MONDAY?!?!
So, let me get this straight, I pay for a service, I pay to load funds & because I don't have multiple cards to use, the card used to initially fund and purchase the plan, I can't use because it's being processed?
What the actual hell?
I'm sure they realize how much pain, anxiety & frustration that they are causing to not only the inmate, but their families and loved ones. The biggest problem? They don't care. They are awarded a contact performing services that are desperately needed, and even the representative on the phone agreed with me when I said that they are causing additional and unnecessary stress, leaving me basically "$#*! out of luck" until it's processed.
This company has absolutely no respect for families, no integrity and no compassion. I'm absolutely livid right now because he has called me twice while writing this and both times my card was rejected by the company. Not my bank, but pigeonly. The owner, CEO & Executives should be absolutely ashamed of themselves. This is completely unacceptable and immoral.
