The Website is so easy to use.
Walks you through the whole process step by step. Shipping is fast and great customer service!
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.

The website is nicely designed and effective the feedback recieved by email isgreat. What I didnt like is how it's an extra $25 to a different company to get phone calls and I'm not sure what they can do that I cant. I can send letters and photos myself

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.
Great easy helpful.
Wish we didn't have to use this to communicate but thankful we have it. It's secure fast and always works.
Has been awesome so far. It doesn't cost that much. And is pretty to get thru the site with out being so confusing
It was too much of a hassle to be buying and sending post cards. Once I found this app I decided to give it a go, and so far so good. Thanks Pigeonly
I love it!, helps a lot with lower rates, a great way so save some money when you most need it!
The phone is a but of a problem

Welcome to Pigeonly! We hope all is well and are so glad to hear we could make a difference. Reviews like this make us proud of what we do, thanks for choosing Pigeonly.
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
This website makes it easy. You may have to waitnfor a phone number though. Im not sure how long yet.
This is a cool site where you can keep in touch with your loved ones. I love it. I would definitely use it again
Love this website! So much easier than having to print pictures myself and get them to the post office!
Ima stick to PigeOnly not only it's not expensive it's easy to do.And happy that I can stay connected with my husband. Thank you PigeOnly.
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.
Hello Kathryn and we deeply regret your negative experience and would love it if you gave our services another try, with assistance from one our Account Managers to avoid such issues in the future. Feel free to contact an Account Manager 6-6 M-F at (800) 323-9895 in order to resolve your issue. Thank you.
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.
