## Prison Voicemail Reviews in United Kingdom

### *---- "Fuming"
I have topped up for a silver pack and it is still telling me to confirm a pack when I’ve already paid and won’t make me move on to the next step im furious as this is a waste of money
-- Shaniyah 10, 2024-09-03

### ***-- "App logs out randomly"
The app just signs out when it wants to. It makes signing back it very difficult if your details change. It’s a long process to change your number if different to the one you signed up with.
-- Kmcg8815, 2024-07-20

### ***** "Apple Watch?!"
This service has been a life saver. I was wondering are there any plans to make this available to use on an Apple Watch? It doesn’t ring on my watch which I thought it would. Could there be discussions about making this happen?! Thank you in advance!!!!
-- Kayaah A, 2024-06-30

### *---- "Call dropped"
Version unreliable. Call drops unexpectedly. Would not recommend.
-- ParL00, 2024-06-30

### *---- "Scam"
This app was essentially created to convert your mobile number into a landline under the guise of saving the prisoner money. I used this app 4 years ago to keep in touch with my partner ,unfortunately I’ve had to use it again. In the past 2 months I’ve apparently saved my partner £227. Not only do you have to pay for the monthly subscription that includes such a small amount of minutes, of which they know are not sufficient for the whole month so you’re forced to top up minute bundles hence the £227  which is money I have topped up whilst sending money for him to top up his account. I’ve now found an alternative and urge anyone using this app or thinking of using it to download Virtuallandline which converts your mobile into a landline and is only £4.50 a month with no extra charges. This is yet another way for the system to profit off!!!!!
-- Corrine Page, 2024-02-02

### ***** "10/10"
This app has been an amazing help throughout the last 2 years, and their customer service is amazing! Super quick responses and always helpful, i have nothing bad to say!!
-- Miss S2222, 2023-10-13

### **--- "Needs to be more intuitive"
I can’t work out how to add credit. It’s so complicated and difficult to navigate and very poor directions
-- Benincasa66, 2023-09-11

### ***** "App"
The app works really well. This is a great service for keeping in touch with loved ones. Highly recommended.
-- Kerrymulder, 2022-07-04

### *---- "Still waiting to be approved"
When l saw this app l thought it was a great idea so l went ahead and set up a direct debit. I left my first message and was looking forward to my first reply. This was on the 17 th december and I’m still waiting for my account to be approved 10 days later, even though l was told it should only take 3 days.!! When l rang the prison they told me it wasn’t their fault it was the fault of a third party who deal with the approval.! There’s no way l can get hold of them so I’m going to cancel my subscription so anyone who thinks this app is a great idea please think again because there are obvious failings in the system.!! Mr G K
-- Mr Gerald K, 2021-12-28

### *---- "DO NOT USE. BUY A LANDLINE PHONE"
ABSOLUTE WASTE OF MONEY. THIS BUSINESS SHOULD BE UTTERLY APPAULED AND QUITE FRANKLY SHOULD NOT BE TRADING. THE AMOUNT OF MONEY I HAVE SPENT ON THIS SERVICE WHEN I COULD OF JUST BOUGHT A LANDLINE PHONE. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THE SOCKET FOR A LANDLINE - USE UNLIMITED PRISON CALLS ONLINE £20 PER MONTH FOR UNLIMITED CALLS

MY OPINION THE VOICEMAIL IS A WASTE OF A SERVICE 

DO NOT BUY
-- Snskzkaldodbs, 2021-06-27

### ***** "I can’t thank the developers enough!"
I came across this whilst trying to find a a cheaper alternative because the weekly costs for my husbands credit was adding up to more then we could afford. He has a short sentence but it’s been very hard due to covid. 

I signed up and they set it up immediately?! To my shock the next day the number was already registered on my husbands pin. So phenomenal customer service!!! I love the fact I can listen back to the calls and favourite them and this eases the burden for my husband. 

Honestly I can’t thank you guys enough and your customer support team deserves a dozen Krispy Kremes because they are excellent.

Words can express how grateful I am for this app. I’m 23 and 6 months married and we really needed something like this
-- Fayza Shes, 2021-05-24

### ***** "Excellent Service"
This system has Really helped bridge the gap and keep me in co tact with my Brother. I live abroad and it would have been SO expensive for him to call me without this application. It’s really Brilliant and works so well the Team behind this are Absolutely Fantastic and SO Helpful, I am a technical shy and when I first set this up they really helped me so much and when you email them they respond so quickly and calls also they always answer. I’d highly recommend this service. Very Grateful , thank you so much guys 🙏
-- cafedelwolves11, 2021-03-02

### ***-- "More discreet"
I like this app and it has been a good way of keeping in touch. However, I do not need to broadcast who is calling. Could the name be abbreviated? When calls or voicemails come in could it be made less obvious from where the call has come from. I may have to delete it as it is difficult to maintain privacy at work. Please make these changes so that I can give it 4 stars. The service in itself has improved contact but the minutes run out fast.
-- UK2021Reviewer, 2021-01-07

### ***** "Amazing support"
Couldn’t get into this app. Sent an email to them and they got back to me same evening to fix this!
-- All nicknames are taken grr, 2020-09-26

### ***** "5 star"
Brilliant to help stay in touch with my partner and helped us get through a tough time without having to rush calls due to credit issues. The IT department were very responsive when I had an issue with the prison not verifying the account their end and soon resolved this for me. I obviously hope I will never need this app again but would recommend it to the people who need it, it was a godsend to us.
-- lsh2506, 2020-06-01

### ***** "Thank you!"
Such a great app, I have been able to listen to the calls over and over when I feel lonely or sad or even just to listen to loving ones and smile over and over! 
Has allowed him to call me for so cheap and often too without having to use so much of his money!
Also the support team is so helpful and always ready to reply and quick too if there are any glitches or problems! Love this app
-- ITALIABABYPERSEMPRE7, 2020-01-20

### **--- "App keeps dropping."
Since the update my live calls aren’t working. Everything is fine but The app keeps dropping . Please fix this.  This was a great app up until now. 😞
-- Madge236, 2019-12-08

### ***** "A beam of light during a very dark time."
A wonderful app that has made things  easier for my partner and I while he is in prison. I highly recommend prison voicemail to anyone who’s loved one is in prison It has helped so much with communication and the costs of calling. I would also suggest to anyone who may have some difficulties with this app at times to just ask the team at prison voicemail to help before leaving a bad review. I’ve had a lot of help from them recently while trying to fix some issues with the app to witch I am very great full. Prison voicemail truly has been a beam of light in a very dark time.
-- casey stella thomas, 2019-09-02

### ***** "Get the app!"
I am so grateful for this app, thank you, you’re a genius! It is worth the small fees. It has helped to reduce anxiety because we could stay in touch more often and whenever I was away from home. This app has definitely helped our relationship and I will be forever thankful.
-- jubo55, 2019-08-27

### *---- "OVERPRICED, UNRELIABLE, insulting text. AWFUL"
I NEVER write reviews but I have to share my experience. I paid my monthly subscription along with around £30 extra top up each month on average. Value fid money is not important to this company. I cancelled my accpunt subscription and payment only to get charged the following month. I complained to my bank, got refunded only to receive a text message from prison voicemail to tell me what a disappointment I was as a customer because I clawed MY OWN money back which meant they had to pay a £25 charge for their "mistake".  I have never received an insult from a company for fixing their own mistake. These people are all about the money. The system they use does not save us money.  My brother in law and my husband are both away and my family and I spent waaaaaay over the odds using this app. Virtual Landline is better value.

DO NOT DOWNLOAD!!!!!!
