Point taken...yea, I understand that we are talking many different facilities, carriers, and rules.
Here in Connecticut, MCI is the only carrier for all correctional calls. The phone rules clearly state that 3 party calls are not allowed, which I would understand to be the inmate calling a number on their approved call list and then having that party initiate a call to a third party and basically click over and start a conference call. MCI's equipment can detect that in some cases. I don't see how with PCO that would be the same because the call is being forwarded but not really a 3 party call. I have not seen anything stating that forwarded calls are against the rules, so PCO still may be a solution.
I realize that my situation may not be of concern to most folk, but considering that the total number of people incarcerated in the United States according to the DOJ was 2,267,787 going into 2005, it would seem that the Voip providers would take notice on this issue of lack of acceptance of prepaid collect calls. I'm only one customer, but I may have to switch back to SBC because of this.
