No Collect Calls with TW Digital Phones
I'm in Kansas City, Kansas.
I just did two and a quarter days in jail. I bonded out, but I probably could have gotten things going faster if my home phone could have accepted collect calls. I then could have communicated with my wife more easily. In most jails nowadays, after an initial call, an inmate is only allowed to make collect calls.
I had changed my home phone service from SBC (formally Southwestern Bell) to a so-called "digital phone" from Time Warner. (My ISP is Roadrunner through TW.) When I ordered the service, it never occurred to me that being able to accept collect calls is an important feature. I never asked if the feature were available, and I didn't know it wasn't working until I needed to make a collect call to home.
The inability to accept collect calls isn't mentioned on
