• 2 min read Based on general MI policies

For video visitation and related visitor services, the fastest way to get technical or billing help is through ViaPath (GTL) support. You can call (855) 466-2832 or email visitorsupport@gtl.net for issues like account problems, scheduling trouble, or charges you do not recognize.

Phone calls are billed by the minute. As of October 1, 2023, the ViaPath (GTL) prisoner telephone rate is $0.0735 per minute for all calls. That per-minute price does not include federal, state, or local taxes or Federal Universal Service Fees, so your actual cost will be higher once those are added. International calls cost the $0.0735 per-minute rate plus an additional per-minute termination rate for the destination country.

Steps to Follow

  • ✓ Call ViaPath (GTL) support at (855) 466-2832 for visitor/video technical problems or billing questions.
  • ✓ Email visitorsupport@gtl.net if you need support in writing or want to include screenshots, dates, and the account details involved.
  • ✓ Use $0.0735 per minute as the base rate (effective October 1, 2023) when you estimate call costs.
  • ✓ Plan for added charges. The listed per-minute rate does not include applicable federal, state, or local taxes or Federal Universal Service Fees.
  • ✓ For international calls, confirm the destination’s per-minute termination rate since international pricing is the base $0.0735 per minute plus that additional per-minute charge.

Before troubleshooting on your own, confirm you have the current ViaPath (GTL) visitor support contacts. For unresolved video visit technical issues or billing problems, call (855) 466-2832 or email visitorsupport@gtl.net to reach the right support team.

Rates and fee details can change, and even small add-ons affect what you actually pay. Check that the current per-minute rate is still $0.0735, and ask whether the quoted total includes federal, state, or local taxes and Federal Universal Service Fees. For international calls, verify the exact per-minute termination rate for the destination country so you know the full cost before funding your account or placing the call.
