Domestic Accounts, Calls, and Funding

Who do I contact about receiving calls from the Wisconsin Department of Corrections (WIDOC)?

You do not need to contact anyone prior to receiving a call from a WIDOC PIOC. However, PIOCs must first submit a Personal Allowed Number (PAN) form and receive approval from DOC personnel prior to attempting a call to any individual number. Once your number is approved, you may begin receiving phone calls using any of the three payment methods described below.

Prepaid Collect Calls

A Prepaid Collect account can be easily set up after receiving the first call from a WI DOC PIOC. During the first call, you will receive 60 seconds of complimentary talk time and then be given the opportunity to set up an account with a customer service representative. Alternatively, accounts can be set up through ICS Corrections' billing agent ICSolutions at 888-506-8407 or www.icsolutions.com.

  • Note that taxes are separate from the Prepaid Collect balance.
  • Purchases are posted on the same day.

Debit Phone Time

A Debit (PIOC-Paid) account is a convenient alternative for friends and family to deposit funds directly into PIOCs' calling accounts. Debit account service is available through ICS Corrections' billing agent ICSolutions at 888-506-8407 or www.icsolutions.com. Debit phone time can also be purchased directly by PIOCs using funds from their PIOC banking/trust account.

  • Once payment is received, the funds belong to the PIOC
  • Debit is also more flexible than Prepaid Collect. PIOCs may call any telephone number approved by their facility (not just the number associated with a Prepaid Collect account) including international numbers.

How do I pay for calls?

  • Visa and MasterCard credit cards
  • Debit Card
  • Western Union
  • Money order or cashier's check

ICS Corrections, Inc. | Wisconsin Department of Corrections (27)

Can I receive calls on my cell phone?

Yes. If your number is on the PIOC's approved number list, you may accept calls on your cell phone by setting up a Prepaid Collect account through ICS Corrections' billing agent ICSolutions, by simply following the prompts during your first accepted call or by contacting them at 888-506-8407 or www.icsolutions.com.

Debit calling also allows for calls to cell phones.

What are the rates for receiving calls from PIOCs?

How do I purchase prepaid calling services?

There are Three Ways to Purchase Prepaid Services (Prepaid Collect + Debit):

  1. Online: The fastest and easiest way to purchase prepaid phone services is by using the Online Payment Processing Service.

During future calls, you will also be given the opportunity to purchase additional phone time when your Prepaid Collect balance becomes low.
  3. By mail: To purchase prepaid phone services using a certified check or money order (we are sorry, but personal checks are not accepted), please mail to:

International Accounts, Calls, and Funding

How do I communicate with PIOCs when I have an international phone number?

The calling rates for international calls are changed quarterly to comply with the FCC regulatory requirements. The updated rates are based on the actual cost to connect calls to each individual country plus $0.12 per minute.

Messaging, Photos, and eCards

How do I get a refund from CorrLinks?

DOC Switching Tablet Vendors

For those with a CorrLinks account, please do not close the account in the event your loved one transfers to a site that has not transitioned to the ICS tablet. A PIOC will only have access to the Advanced Technologies Group (ATG) CorrLinks system on their ATG tablet/kiosk until the ICS tablet is issued. Be cautious about sending CorrLinks messages as the go-live date approaches. A message sent through CorrLinks after the go-live date for the new ICS tablet will not be received or refunded. PIOCs are responsible to share the tablet go-live date with family and friends. Please discontinue purchasing ATG tablets as we prepare for this transition.

You can receive an automatic refund from your CorrLinks messaging account. Once this action is completed you will not be able to utilize CorrLinks services.

To get the automatic refund, you will need to close your CorrLinks account. See the instructions below for assistance.

  1. Go to corrlinks.com and login to your account.
    ICS Corrections, Inc. | Wisconsin Department of Corrections (28)
  2. Click Account Management.
    ICS Corrections, Inc. | Wisconsin Department of Corrections (29)
  3. Click Manage My Inmate List.
    ICS Corrections, Inc. | Wisconsin Department of Corrections (30)
  4. You will need to remove the PIOC from your account and cancel your account before you can get your funds refunded. To complete this action, click BLOCK and confirm you wish to remove them from your account. Once completed, click Return to Account Management Menu to have the option to cancel your account.
    ICS Corrections, Inc. | Wisconsin Department of Corrections (31)
  5. From the Account Management Menu, click Cancel My Account.
    ICS Corrections, Inc. | Wisconsin Department of Corrections (32)
  6. Click Yes to cancel your account. Your refund could take up to 72 hours to be processed.
    ICS Corrections, Inc. | Wisconsin Department of Corrections (33)

How do I set up an account to send messages, photos, and eCards to a PIOC or to receive messages from a PIOC?

Create an account at GettingOut.com. Once the account is set up you will be able to send and receive messages from the PIOC and send messages to the PIOC.

Once your account is created, you can add funds to your account and begin communicating by sending messages.

How do I send messages, photos, and eCards to a WI DOC PIOC if I already have a GettingOut account?

Simply sign into your GettingOut account and click on Contacts. Then search for the PIOC, click their name, and click Add Contact. You may then begin communicating by sending messages.

How do I send eCards to a WI DOC PIOC?

eCards are now available as an option when messaging with your loved ones. Sending an eCard costs $0.15.

You will see this option from the GettingOut app on your mobile device.

  1. To send an eCard, tap Send an eCard in the GettingOut app on your mobile device.

Phone

Who do I contact to block or unblock my number from Wisconsin Department of Corrections PIOCs?

Blocks on Phones

When you receive a call from WIDOC PIOCs, you will be given the option to refuse that call. Additionally, you will be given the option to block all future calls from WIDOC. If a called party blocks their phone number in error, they should call customer service at 888-506-8407 to remove the block.

Who does a PIOC contact if they are having problems completing calls?

The PIOCs complete a concern form provided by WIDOC and place it into a drop box for resolution.

What other restrictions are there on calls from WIDOC PIOCs?

The following restrictions may be applied by the WIDOC to PIOC calls:

  • Limits on length of calls (currently 15 minute maximum).
  • Limits on number of calls to the same number in a given length of time.
  • Call monitoring, recording, and PIOC voice validation (in order to place calls).
  • Blocks on types of phone numbers (such as 800 numbers) or selected phone numbers.
  • Temporary or permanent denial of phone usage rights for such reasons as disciplinary problems or requests by a called party.

Why was my call disconnected?

Calls can disconnect for a variety of reasons including:

  • Accepting call waiting
  • Dropped calls from a cell phone or VoIP number (phone service over the internet) due to poor coverage
  • Placing a call on hold
  • Security reasons within the facilities

Why can't I receive Traditional Collect calls?

Many telephone services do not have a billing agreement with ICS Corrections to allow you to receive a collect call. For example, cell phone and Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) providers do not offer Traditional Collect billing options.

My phone call was inaudible or was disconnected prematurely. How can I get a refund for the cost of that call?

For Prepaid Collect customers, please call 888-506-8407. Our representatives can investigate technical problems with your phone call, including listening to the call recording to determine the cause. If it is determined that the problem was not caused by another external factor (for example, a bad cell phone connection), our Customer Care Representative can credit phone services back to the account that was used for the call.
