Rate for inmate calls is $0.04384 per minute.
All calls are subject to recording and/or monitoring, except for legal, AIDS hotline and Ombudsman calls.
Inmates have an approved calling list of 10 telephone numbers, excluding any legal telephone numbers.
For security reasons, calls to cellular, business or nontraditional telephone service numbers are not permitted.
Types of calling:
Collect calling (where the called party pays for the call)
Debit calling (where inmate pays for the call)
Types of Billing:
Collect: the called party has a contracted telephone company (e.g. Verizon) and can accept collect calls up to the threshold limits
Advance pay: where the called party sets up an account with GTL (because he or she is not authorized to receive collect calls or have
blocks on his or her lines)
Debit: for inmates to purchase calling time by submitting a business remit to the business office at their assigned facility
Thresholds:
GTL imposes daily and monthly collect call thresholds. The month begins on the day the called party accepted the first call from an
inmate. Once a customer has met his or her threshold limit, the number then becomes blocked. The customer can contact GTL to set up
an Advance Pay Account and/or the inmate can chose to use his or her debit account to place a call.
Threshold limits are as follows:
$35.00 per day
$200.00 per month
Billing Contact:
The called party should contact GTL should there be a problem with his or her advance pay account; if there is a block on his or her line; or
if he or she wants to set up an advance pay account. The following are GTL telephone numbers:
18004838314 automated system
18662307761 live representative
18776504249 billing & blocking
Blocks:
If a customer wants to block his or her number, the customer may do so by following the prompts played when an inmate calls the
customer’s telephone line. The customer will be instructed to press the number 7. If the customer accidentally blocks his or her number,
the customer must send a written request to the NJDOC Telecommunications Office. It must include the inmate name, SBI and the
customers telephone number, name, and address. The customer can request a statewide block by contacting the NJDOC
Telecommunications Office.
