This letter serves as a formal response to the complaint listed above.The customer contacted the Revdex.com because she paid $50 to set up a telephone account with GTL so she could talk to her nephew who is incarcerated in the [redacted]...

[redacted] Correctional Facility. The $50 should have been enough to accept at least 12 calls, after just 3 calls the recorded prompt said that there was not enough money in the account to accept another call. She states that she has added over $150 in 4 months to the account and is requesting that $100 should be refunded.We investigated this complaint and contacted [redacted] via telephone on April 7th and advised her that we have e-mailed her copies of her call and billing transaction history as she requested. Based on these records we determined that [redacted]'s account balance is correct. In addition we explained to her that if the inmate makes back to back calls that are not answered our system will deduct the cost of each call until he stops calling. The funds are normally released back to the account within 45 minutes to 1 hour.
GTL anticipates that this will close this complaint and should you have any additional questions please feel free to call.
