Terrible app! I deposited $10 but when I'd try sending messages insufficient funds pops up. Called customer service & got that taken care of, then I had issues sending pics. Five out of 9 pics didn't go thru and it says "Denied: StatusesSyncServices"...but best believe I was charged for sending them. That was a few days ago. Now I can't send pics at all. There's no need for GTL to fix the problem because there's no competition, so they know we'll just deal with it. Smh.

Very often, the message I'm typing will just disappear and I have to start over. VERY FRUSTRATING, especially when many paragraphs are lost. The inmate I send messages to also occasionally experiences the same thing. Also, when I send photos (small MB), it sometimes takes NUMEROUS attempts to go through. I have excellent, internet and have tried to send photos from other places and connected to other high speed internet, and it makes no difference. Can these things not be fixed??

1. on opening app, my old phone number was listed. stumbled on to being able to add my current phone number, but deposit record is still attached to my old number, and shows 0 $ available, so I can not send e-mails, only receive and read them. 2. I have tried every "fix" for this app, including calling the support number 4 times. They said they had gotten the phone issue adjusted. Nope.
