Fulton County moved its video and phone services from Securus to IC Solutions effective May 15, 2024, and you need to register on the new platform before you can use video visitation. Inmates who want a video visit must also register online first. Each video visit is limited to 30 minutes. You can do remote video visits on a computer, phone, or other internet-connected device. The jail also provides a central on-site area for people who don't have internet access. Set up and verify your account before scheduling, make sure your device has a camera and microphone, and expect all communications to be monitored.

Adding money to an inmate's account at Fulton County Jail, GA typically comes down to three options: online transfers through approved third-party vendors, deposits at lobby kiosks or ATMs, and mailed money orders that include the facility's required voucher. For online or phone deposits, have the state, the facility name, and the inmate's full name or ID ready so the funds get routed correctly. If you mail a money order, follow the voucher and address instructions exactly. Missing details or formatting mistakes can delay processing. Keep in mind that the facility may apply some or all of a deposit to outstanding debts before the remaining balance becomes available. Some facilities also require you to be on an approved visitor or sender list.
