Frequently Asked Questions

The only way anyone can know if you are using the Fonesavvy service is if you tell them.

Due to current prison security regulations we must issue you with a new Fonesavvy number. The new number will need to be applied to the pin list as before undergoing prison security checks. The registration fee to set up your new account will be required although any existing credit can be transferred providing the account details are the same. Your old number will remain active during this process to ensure no loss of service.

Providing you have not used your services we will happily issue a full refund.

After 60 continued days of no use your fonesavvy account will automatically be closed as we will assume 2months with no phone calls indicates prisoner release or contact is no longer wanted.

Absolutely please use the contact us feature putting account closure as the header to your message, a member of the team will be in touch within 48hrs.

No way! As our service is pay as you go we don't charge to disconnect

Fonesavvy is beneficial to a number of people, it allows People being held in prison to call mobiles at a reduced rate making their call credit and talk time last longer, FRIENDS and FAMILY no longer have to wait by a landline on the off chance there may be a call, being able to speak to loved ones reduces frustration resulting in a calmer environment for the PRISON SERVICE to work in and also lowers the risk of contraband mobile phones.

Your destination number is your current mobile number which the prisoner can contact you on. We will provide you with a new FoneSavvy number for the prisoner which will then give the prisoner a cheaper way to call you.

Please log into your account online and check your outstanding balance.

You ran out of calling credit on your last call, instead of the call being disconnected your account went into arrears to enable you to finish your call.

Please check your junk and spam folders using a computer before requesting them again.

The prisoner will be charged the local rate for the call rather than a mobile rate, and you will have the minutes used deducted from your balance. Please note the total combined cost is still significantly cheaper than a mobile rate call from inside the prison hence the benefit of our service.

The easiest way to explain this is, if your sending money into the prisoner then you are in theory paying the total call cost, however, by splitting the cost between your fonesavvy credit and the prisoners internal credit it is overall more cost effective and convenient as if gives the prisoner more flexibilty to purchase other items with their money and gives you the flexibility to not have to sit by your landline.
