An inmate in the Barbour County Jail can call you using one or more of the following three methods, however during booking the facility allows each offender at least one free call to a friend, family member or bond company.

1.    If your phone service - usually your land line - accepts collect calls, then they can call you collect. Note: Mobile phones don't usually accept collect calls.

2.    The Barbour County Jail's commissary will sell your inmate a pre-paid calling card from Paytel that they can use to phone you or others.

3.    The inmate can call you using credits or money that you or someone else purchases from Paytel. Call 800-729-8355 for help setting up your account OR contact them online.

When your inmate is booked into Barbour County Jail, they provide a list of a limited number of people that they will allow to visit them and make phone calls to. These must be approved by the facility first.

How does an Inmate communicate with me by phone?

Barbour County Jail inmates cannot receive phone calls. They can only make them, but first have to have you open up an account and prepay for these calls. In order to do this for them you need to open an account with Paytel Inmate Communications.

Communicating by Messaging with an Inmate

inteleMESSAGE by Pay Tel is a service in which Barbour County inmates can use tablets to send messages to any friend or family member that has set up an on-line prepaid or direct bill account with Pay Tel. 

How inteleMESSAGE Works

1. The Barbour County Jail inmate must contact you first in order to activate messaging for your account.
2. Once an inmate has messaged you, you are then able to visit the Pay Tel website, log in, read and respond to his or her messages. 
3. When you log in and follow the inteleMESSAGE™ link, you will be asked if you want to accept messages from your Barbour County Jail inmate. If you accept, you will then be able to read any inmate message that has been sent to you.
4. An on-line prepaid or direct bill account is required to use messaging. 
5. You must visit the Pay Tel website, login to your account, and follow the inteleMESSAGE™ link in order to send or check for messages. You will not be notified of messages by any other method.
6. All messages are subject to monitoring and review and should never be used for privileged attorney-inmate communications.
7. If a message is rejected for any reason, the sender’s account will be automatically credited for the cost of the message.
8. Free messages which are rejected will not be refunded or restored.

Cost to send messages

1. The sender of the message is charged $.50 per message. Rates are subject to change.
2. For friends and family outside of a facility, this amount is deducted from the prepaid account balance or charged to your direct bill account.
3. For inmates, the amount is charged to the inmate and deducted from the inmate’s debit account.
