My boyfriend keeps trying to call me from the county prison.

Question

But for some reason the operator won't let me speak to him it keeps cutting off. Is it because he's calling my cellphone with a collect number??? i don't know

Answer 1

You cannot accept collect calls on a cell phone. He sounds like a real winner.

Answer 2

lol

Answer 3

So he was sitting on an abandoned step? I'm guessing this 'abandoned step' was connected to an abandoned building, so the cops were well within their duty to be suspicious of this. Vandalism, drug deals and prostitution are common place in abandoned buildings, but I'm sure your 'good guy' boyfriend was just sitting there reading the Bible, right?

Anyway, the phone calls from jail are monitored and are collect. Check with your cell phone carrier about accepting collect calls, right after you dump this loser.  

Answer 4

Sorry lady..... 'good guys' don't get arrested and put in jail.

Answer 5

yep now they have consolidated system that handles calls you iether to put money on consolidated or not get calls

Answer 6

you cant' accept a collect call on a cell phone. You can, however, take in a calling card to your bf. Give it to the police officers that are holding him to give to him. He can then call you.

Operator is saying this phone number cannot accept collect calls.

Write him a letter that a cell phone cannot accept collect calls, leave that with the calling card. You can get prepaid calling cards at walmart, kmart, office stores and so on.

Answer 7

Check with your cell phone provider, but most do not allow collect calls.  Maybe find a friend or family member with a lan line and schedule a time for him to call that number, just make sure you pay the person for the call!

Answer 8

you might want to put some money on your phone account, that happened to me before with the boyfriend :( i hope he gets out soon for you, boyfriends in jail/prison is no fun  

Answer 9

If your boyfriend is in prison, why are u still his boyfriend???? and its probably because of the cellphone, maybe u need to tell him to call his home phone,  or maybe the operator won't let him talk to you because he is in prison.

Answer 10

There is ALWAYS more to the story....

Perhaps you should turn OFF your phone.

Answer 11

Yes, that's what it is!!! Now Go bring him some cigarettes so he won't get cornholed.

No joke woman, go on & bring him a carton of Marlboros.

Answer 12

Dump his criminal booty

Answer 13

That is possible.  I don't know if you can even accept a collect call on a cell phone.  I have never heard of it.  You should get in touch with the cell company that you are with and ask them.

Answer 14

It probably is.  Don't accept those calls at all.  They are mega expensive.  I would rethink a boyfriend that has the nerve to do something to get his butt locked up.  You need a new set of friends.  

Answer 15

I would check with your cell phone provider and see if they allow you take collect calls.

Answer 16

And a convicted and incarcerated criminal is STILL your boyfriend, WHY exactly?

You really set your sights high, don't you?
