Inmate Calling Services at Lowest Rates Offered by Pigeonly

Feb 11, 2022

Las Vegas, Nevada -

February 11, 2022 - /PressAdvantage/ - Las Vegas, Nevada based Pigeonly is reaching out to the wider community to share information about their inmate calling services. Pigeonly provides everyone a simple, affordable way to stay in touch with their incarcerated loved ones from any phone, tablet, or computer. More information about their services can be found here: https://pigeonly.com/inmate-calling/.

Frederick Hutson of Pigeonly says, “Humans need connection, and it is no different with people who are serving jail time. The truth is that most who have loved ones in prison find themselves unable to keep in touch because of the astronomical costs of calling an inmate. This needs to change, so we started Pigeonly to ensure that you will get the lowest inmate phone rate possible. With our help, you can accept your loved ones calls without breaking the bank.”

While everyone normally has the choice of shopping around and finding the cheapest or most beneficial deals when it comes to cell phone contracts, it is not the same for those who are serving time and their loved ones. Inmates are subject to whatever fees the prison phone service decides to charge. The average 15-minute prison phone call in the United States costs just under $6, but some facilities charge almost $25.

These outrageous charges often also have administration, voicemail and account fees added on top of the call rates, the results of which mean inmate calling is unaffordable for many families. This is exacerbated by the fact that some facilities will also often receive compensation from each phone call. Notably, while there is a push for this practice to be banned, it has not happened yet.

Pigeonly’s inmate calling service is simple and straightforward, and the company promises that there are no hidden fees, service charges or cancellation costs. A customer needs only to look up their recipient with Pigeonly’s easy inmate locator tool. Then, the company will help set up and fund a prison phone account on the user’s behalf, following which they are free to enjoy calls with their inmates at the lowest cost possible. On average, those who use the Pigeonly service will see a 40-60% reduction in their call costs. The best-rate number is only $0.06 per minute, which is a huge difference from the national average cost of a call. Pigeonly offers a 7-day free trial: Start Free Trial.

Pigeonly also offers the ability to send unlimited photos, letters, postcards, and greeting cards to the inmate, as well as the ability to send web and news articles. Since the Pigeonly service is monthly, there are no lengthy contracts. Users can choose to stop the service whenever they like, so if the inmate is released earlier than expected, users can simply cancel their Pigeonly account without incurring any additional fees.

Hutson says, “We understand how overwhelming life can be at times, especially with a loved one in prison. We are here to make things as easy as possible for you. When you join Pigeonly, you will always be able to rely on us. Think of us as your personal assistant, and we would be glad to do everything we can to connect you to your loved one. First, we will get you the lowest calling rate possible for your inmate phone service. Then we will help establish your inmate phone provider or any prison phone system that is used at your inmate’s prison or jail. We will confirm your number is working and can receive calls, and we answer any questions you have. We will do all of the heavy lifting for you, so you don’t have to worry about anything.”

Those interested in the services provided by Pigeonly and want to learn more are invited to visit the company’s official website to get started. Frederick Hutson encourages families to get in touch with the company via their online contact portal or reach out to him via phone or email. Pigeonly also maintains a presence on social media, and users can view the company Facebook page for more information.

GISBH: KPWKM prioritises swift reunification of rescued children with families

Oct 15, 2024

KUALA LUMPUR: The immediate return of children rescued during Op Global to their parents and families is a top priority for the Ministry of Women, Family and Community Development (KPWKM). However, its minister, Datuk Seri Nancy Shukri said KPWKM must first ensure that the children’s parents and families can provide adequate and proper care. “For cases where the capability of the parents and families is clearly established, the reunification process can proceed without delay. In more complex situations, intervention programmes will be implemented to ensure the children’s and families’ best interests are safeguarded “The ultimate goal is to reunite these children with their families. However, before this can happen, several factors need to be carefully evaluated. This is not about denying anyone’s rights, but about ensuring the best interests of the children are upheld,” Nancy said during a minister’s briefing session on GISB Holdings Sdn Bhd (GISBH) in the Dewan Rakyat today. As of yesterday, 560 children – 283 boys and 277 girls – had been placed in safe custody after the Social Welfare Department (JKM) obtained a temporary court custody order for two months under Section 25(2)(a) of the Child Act 2001. Meanwhile, Nancy said the Task Force Profiling Team for Op Global found that 94.3 per cent of the 558 profiled children had at least one living biological parent, while 5.7 per cent had no parents or no available information on their parents. Health assessments showed that 51.6 per cent of the children were underweight, falling below the healthy Body Mass Index (BMI), while 46.1 per cent had a normal weight and the remaining children were classified as obese, she added. “Three children have been issued persons with disabilities (PwD) cards, while 27 others display symptoms of disability,” she added. Cognitive assessments were also conducted on 385 children aged seven and above, with 71.9 per cent (277 children) showing no signs of cognitive disorders, she said. “However, 20.26 per cent (78 children) displayed moderate cognitive disorders, while 7.79 per cent (30 children) were found to have severe cognitive impairments,” Nancy said.

Malaysia should seize opportunity in global medical devices market - Chang

Oct 15, 2024

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian innovators and manufacturers should seize the opportunity to tap into the immense potential of the global medical devices industry, which is projected to reach nearly US$800 billion by 2030, says Science, Technology and Innovation (MOSTI) Minister Chang Lih Kang. Chang noted that Malaysia had many high-quality products and innovators in the medical devices sector, with the government continuously encouraging and supporting industry players in research and development (R&D) and commercialisation efforts. “The market is vast, and we have plenty of room for success. To support R&D, of course, not limited to the medical devices industry, MOSTI offers various funding facilities, grants, matching grants, and equity where we invest in relevant startups,” he said. Chang said this to reporters after officiating the soft launch of INNOMed: Innovation Pitching Powered by PERANTIM, a key event in the International Medical Device Exhibition & Conference (IMDEC) 2024. Also present were Medical Device Authority (MDA) chief executive officer Dr P. Muralitharan, Malaysia Medical Devices Manufacturers Association (PERANTIM) president Johari Abu Kasim, and organising chairman of INNOMed, Dr Hyzan Mohd Yusof. Earlier in his speech, Chang said that under Malaysia’s New Industrial Master Plan (NIMP) 2030, the government aimed to foster synergies between the manufacturing and engineering sectors and the medical devices sector. This includes creating advanced inspection tools, solutions for imaging and endoscopy, implantable devices, and minimally invasive surgical tools. Meanwhile, Muralitharan told Bernama that, according to figures from the Department of Statistics Malaysia (DOSM), Malaysia’s total trade in medical devices, valued at RM25.61 billion from January to July this year, increased by 23.5 per cent compared to the same period in 2023 (RM20.74 billion). He added that the export of medical devices was valued at RM20.15 billion, an increase of 25.7 per cent compared to RM16.02 billion in 2023. In his speech, Dr Hyzan said that medical device innovation presented an opportunity to improve healthcare while boosting the economy, with the industry projected to reach nearly US$2 billion by 2025, making it one of the fastest-growing sectors. “By focusing on innovation, we can create high-skilled jobs, reduce our dependence on imported technologies, and position Malaysia as a global leader. Last year, we spent US$5 billion on medical devices, with 95 per cent being imports. Our goal is to reduce this to 50 per cent within five years,” he said. He also emphasised that close collaboration among universities, innovators, manufacturers, clinicians, and government agencies was key to ensuring that ideas and research transitioned smoothly from laboratories to clinical applications and into the hands of healthcare providers. INNOMed, themed “Unleashing the Power of Medical Technology: Shaping the Future of Healthcare,“ is organised by the MDA and will take place from Dec 10 to 12 at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC).
