Debit Cards
For systems not utilizing PINs for inmate dialing privileges, DebitCall allows you to generate batches of calling card numbers for pre-determined amounts that can then be sold through the Commissary or other facility program. For example, batches of automatically generated calling cards can be created in various dollar amounts. You can choose the card value for each batch.

Pre-paid calling cards can be restricted to one or more phone numbers during card activation so that a spouse can buy a card and request that the inmate only call family numbers using the card – the debit value is only good for calls made to the specified phone numbers.

In this application, callers are prompted to enter their card number in order to proceed with call validation. No card reading equipment is required. Potential call charges are checked against card balances and card balances refer to the same thing – the amount of money available to the inmate for pre-paid debit calls.

To reduce potential fraud and card-stealing, automatically generated pre-paid calling cards are disabled until proper activation.
