FCC Advice to Consumers Receiving Calls from Prison Payphones: - 03-31-2003
- "Consumers receiving collect calls from inmates in prisons, jails and other correctional institutions can obtain the price of the call by simply pressing no more than 2 digits or by staying on the line. OSPs providing operator services for inmates’ phones in correctional facilities are required to tell the party receiving a collect call of his or her right to obtain rate quotations before the OSP connects and bills for the interstate collect call. (Note: FCC rules only apply to interstate OSP calls. However, most states have similar requirements for local intrastate OSP calls.) The party receiving the call can then decide whether or not to accept the collect call or limit its length."
FCC Order 02-39 on Inmate Phone Services - 03-31-2003
- "[T]he record in this proceeding strongly suggests that any solution to the problem of high rates for inmates must embrace the states. States are encouraged to examine the issue of the significant commissions paid by ICS providers to confinement facilities and the downward pressure that these commissions have on ICS providers’ net compensation and, more important, the upward pressure they impose on inmate calling rates. Furthermore, as CURE points out, these commissions limit incentives for the ICS providers to pass cost savings to consumers through lower rates." In the Matter of Implementation of the Pay Telephone Reclassification and Compensation Provisions of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 CC Docket No. 96-128 Order on Remand & Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, Adopted: February 12, 2002
