Phone calls from Tabor Correctional Institution go through ViaPath/GTL, operating through the ConnectNetwork platform. The rate is $0.10 per minute with a 15-minute maximum per call. Calls are outbound only: the person at Tabor CI calls you. Set up an AdvancePay account at connectnetwork.com or call 800-483-8314 so calls connect when they come in. All calls are monitored and recorded. Video visits are also available through the GettingOut app.
Calls from Tabor Correctional Institution are outbound only. The person inside dials out to you. You cannot call the facility and ask to be connected to the person. When a call comes in, you will see a prompt asking whether to accept the call. If your AdvancePay account has funds, the call connects.
The rate is $0.10 per minute. Each call is capped at 15 minutes. At 15 minutes, the call ends automatically. The person can call again after the cap, but a new call starts and the per-minute billing restarts.
All calls are monitored and recorded. Do not discuss anything on a call that you would not say in front of law enforcement.
AdvancePay is the prepaid account that funds incoming calls. Without it, calls from Tabor CI may not connect or may require a more expensive option.
Once funds are loaded, calls from Tabor CI will connect automatically when you accept them.
If you prefer not to use AdvancePay, PIN Debit is another option. With PIN Debit, the person uses their own account balance (commissary funds) to pay for calls. The per-minute rate still applies. This is useful if you want the person to manage their own call spending. See the send money guide for how to put money on their account.
Video visits are available through the GettingOut app. GettingOut is a ViaPath/GTL service available at GettingOut.com or from your device’s app store.
To set up video visits:
Video visits are a useful option if you cannot be in the same city or want a mid-week connection. The person can use a tablet inside the facility for video visits. Not all visits are on-demand; check the GettingOut app for availability.
The person at Tabor CI can only call numbers that have been pre-approved and added to their call list. If you have a new phone number or want to add a number, the person must request the change through the facility. Calls to unapproved numbers will not go through.
