I put 25 dollars on there to talk to my friend and it won't let me send messages to him at all. Keeps saying I don't have enough money on my account. I don't know how seeing I got 25 on there. A email that costs 25 cents should go though but it won't let me send anything.

Everyday i have the same issue with both the getting out app and the getting out visits app. Yall take my money freely but yet i can barely get good use out of this app. Half of the times my video calls dont come through, then my messages stay stuck on pending for long periods of time. no my messages arent being flagged because there isnt nothing bad in the message. This is an everyday ongoing issue.

By Carla Farley 1 year ago
Can't schedule a visit. I have been able to get a text through. When the contact is selected the screen only reverts back to the page to select a contact no matter how many times you do it. Everything is set. My account has a verified number, an approved profile pic and money deposited on it. It does this on the app and when I login to getting out on my laptop. Can someone help me?
By Jeff Nance 1 year ago
I used a "TEXT NOW" number when creating GTL account and put $10.00 in it so I could text a friend inside. My internet service is not good enough for vid chats so I wanted to use the TEXT feature GTL offers so I wanted to switch GTL primary account phone number and use it but it is only thing the app would NOT let me change. I got the run-around from their "HELP" and "HELP CENTER", submitted a detailed request to them and even called the "TOUCH PAY" number (866-204-1603) and after several months, the issue still remains. I feel I need therapy in the wake of all my attempts to have a SIMPLE change to MY account or learn telepathy so anyone out there has that skill....I'm all for learning. Or has some app been created to stop or block our choices or ability to try to do that as well????

Our son, at Chuckawalla, reports that sometime in the past 48 hours his old GettingOut messages have been "rearranged". All of the messages are now in reverse chronological order. And, his outgoing messages are no longer merged with our messages to him. When he wants to refer to a recent message, he has to scroll back through dozens and dozens of old messages. Is there anything he can do to correct this or can GTL correct the problem?

I have the same problem others have reported. After typing in perhaps 40 characters of a text message, the screen freezes completely or else takes a long time to show the typed letters. I compensate by sending multiple short messages.

App is frozen and has , been buffering since this morning. Won't let me log out or do anything. Haven't been able to communicate with my daughter for 5 days now cause she can't get on her tablet and hasn't seen the messages I've been sending when my app was supposedly working. Same thing happened with other family member at a different Jail here in Maricopa County. Somebody is making to much money for an App that's infested with problems and doesn't work correctly or as advertised...

You say you provide reliable communication for people but my husband hasn't been able to even get into his account (in prison) for the last 24 hours and I keep getting errors on my app...for the amount of money people spend on this supposed reliable app you should at least be making sure its working for both inmates and their family on the outside!

By Sofi 1 year ago
It has been loading/buffering since yesterday night. The app keeps refreshing and at times it states I have no contacts on there. Some of my pictures are delayed in sending and messages that are supposedly sent do not show up. I am still being charged for the message. It will then show up the NEXT day. I had to make an entire new account because it wouldn't send the link to reset my password.

By Tanya 1 year ago
I have been trying to add funds for days. I am in Ontario Canada and my fiancee is in North Carolina. I spent over 8 hours phoning and being put on hold yesterday. You customer service is useless. Litteraly full of clueless idiots. You have taken away the option to add a Province or postal code to finish adding a payment. It is 2022 and a monkey could program and run this site better. This is sad and pathetic. Everything your top notch staff told me to hasn't worked. One even told me to use a fake account in the USA to make my payment go through. Guess what? That didn't work either. This is my life line to my man. I am going to the BBB and reporting this company. Not to mention all the funds that go missing from my account for messages you don't put through. This company should be ashamed of how they treat people.

- Does not notify users unless screen is on and app is open
- Cannot add the same amount from card within the same day
- Slow and refreshes back to the beginning when trying to login
- Poor customer service
- Issues with video calls, deposits, and conversations randomly disappearing
