Pigeonly taking my money
October 27, 2020

Since May this company Pigeonly has gotten me for 79.99. Not counting the 1 dollar they got my card number for. Saying my Inmate could call for a monthly fee. I have never received any service from them. But the still continue to randomly charge me. 4x in one month. Will not give any refund when called?

Horrible service
October 25, 2020

I had a friend transferred to Fulton county Jail in Atlanta so I set up this account pigeonly.com. He said I got $10 off or a $10 credit and I could also email or submit that to a friend or loved one of the inmates in which I did try and none of that worked I never got any of the credit then I was promised I then had to set up an account for phone time with the inmate had to pay $12.99 for the phone privilege and that didn't even put minutes on the phone as I was instructed it would then end up paying another $25.99 for a month of service for a phone number that the inmate doesn't even have when I told the people about it they said he had to call a certain number and that's the number he didn't have he had my cell phone number I told the lady I want to set up an account with my cell phone number on it she instructed me that she was pretty much a middleman for another service and I would have to contact them so they pretty much ripped me off for all that money and yes still I couldn't even deposit commissary funds into his account because that's not working on their website so I'm paying all this money for nothing with no refund or reimbursement and dissatisfied with this company and would like to report them to the better business bureau

We are so sorry to hear about your negative experience. Please know that we strive for all of our customers to have a great time when visiting Pigeonly. I see that your main concerns are commissary funding and phone services. Here is how we are planning on correcting these issues: we will provide links and information needed for your facility's commissary and we tell all our customers what charges are for upfront. Again, my deepest apologies for your negative experience. We hope that you come back to see how we are improving. Thank you for your feedback! We will use it to grow our business and correct our mistakes. All the best.
