The Explanation About Messaging Subscription
If you want to fund your account so that you are allowed to send messages or to open a ‘collect message’, you have to enable Messaging Subscription. If you enable it, $5.00 worth of credits will be applied to your account. The fee of every message that you send will be taken from your messaging credits. Let’s say that you do not have enough credits to send a message. If it happens, JailATM.com will direct you to buy more credits using the card that you chose previously for the Messaging Subscription.
You have to choose the amount whether $5, $10, or $20 that you want to apply towards messaging. It is important for you to know that every sale is final which means that credit that is applied to messaging will not be refunded.
