Steps to Follow

  • ✓ If you plan to use the JailATM deposits site, scroll to the bottom and confirm the footer shows JailATM and “Tech Friends, Inc.” before entering payment details.
  • ✓ If you use ConnectNetwork/AdvancePay, save the refunds customer service number: 877-650-4249 (useful if you later need a refund).

Before you trust any deposit page you land on, look for clear site identification. On the JailATM deposits site, the footer should include the JailATM name and "Tech Friends, Inc." If that footer is missing or looks off, stop. Confirm you're in the right place before entering any payment info.

For ConnectNetwork AdvancePay refunds, the listed customer service number is 877-650-4249. Calling that number is the documented path for refund help. Still, I'd recommend confirming the number is current through the official ConnectNetwork site or by contacting the facility directly.

Verify before you pay: Accepted payment types (card, ACH, money order), all fees, daily or weekly limits, cutoff times for same-day posting, the exact name and ID information you need to enter for the incarcerated person, and what to do if funds post to the wrong account.
