Understanding Phone Calls from Chilton County Jail: How Securus Calls Work, Setting Up an Account, and the Three‑Way Rule
Phone calls are often the fastest way to stay connected — but jail phone systems play by their own rules. Here's how calls from Chilton County Jail work through Securus, how to set up your number to receive them, and what to avoid so your calls don't get blocked.
All phone calls from Chilton County Jail go through Securus. When your loved one calls, it'll come through as a collect call, a pre-paid call, or a credit card call. Not receiving calls yet? The fix is usually setting up (or funding) the right type of Securus account for your phone number.
Note: Calls from inmates are subject to monitoring and/or recording. Don’t discuss anything you wouldn’t want repeated back in a legal or disciplinary setting.
- Call Securus to start your setup - Use 1-800-844-6591 to set up an account so you can accept calls.
- Enter the Chilton County Jail facility code - When prompted, use facility code 5500 to make sure your account is tied to the right jail.
- Authorize your number and choose how you’ll pay - Follow the prompts to get your phone number approved for calls and to add funds or arrange payment.
- Save your confirmation details - Write down any confirmation numbers and keep receipts so you can reference them if there’s a billing or connection problem later.
If calls suddenly stop coming through, the jail may have blocked the number. Chilton County Jail can block phone numbers for harassing calls, misuse of the phone system (including three-way calling), discussion of criminal activity, or other security concerns. If your number gets blocked, focus on fixing the underlying issue first - repeated workarounds usually make things worse.
Warning: Any number that attempts to facilitate a three-way connection will be permanently deactivated. A three-way attempt can also lead to disciplinary action against the inmate involved.
