Messaging
Share some good news, tell the latest and greatest story, or just say a quick hello. Communicating with your incarcerated loved one has never been easier!
ConnectNetwork’s Messaging service lets you send electronic messages to inmates in just a few simple steps.
It all happens from your computer or mobile device. Then, depending on the facility, your inmate will be able to view your message, print it, or respond electronically!
Messaging makes keeping in touch simple, even when you’re on the go.
Features
- View your Messaging inbox, send and compose messages, and save drafts in your online account.
- Use your credit or debit card to make message credit purchases (Visa, Mastercard or Discover).
- Depending on the facility, send credits to receive a reply from your loved one.
