The Phone Account Options on Securus
According to the Securus Help site, there are some phone accounts for customers to choose from to receive calls from an incarcerated individual. The first one is AdvanceConnect. It is a prepaid calling account and it is their most popular option. If you choose this option, all calls will connect to all phone types such as cell phones, landline phones, and internet phones (such as VoIP carriers) pending facility restrictions. In this type of account, you are allowed to add multiple phone numbers to your account so that you are able to be reached wherever you are.
The second option is DirectBill. With this account, you are permitted to receive collect calls from an incarcerated individual and have the charges billed directly to them each month from Securus. This option is the best option for Family and Friends whose incarcerated individual is incarcerated for longer than two years, an attorney, consulate, bail bondsman, social worker, other small business, or government agency. You need to pass an Equifax credit check and if you want to sign up, you can call 972-734-1111 from your mobile phone or 1-800-844-6591 from your landline phone.
