Want to pay for the calls you receive? Set up an ICSolutions Friends & Family prepaid account in your name. You add funds to it, and those funds cover calls from your loved one.

The other option is depositing money into the incarcerated person's trust account. From there, they can purchase phone minutes through commissary and use those minutes to place calls.

Note: If you still have money in a Securus Advance Connect account, it will not transfer automatically to ICSolutions. Contact Securus at 1-800-844-6591 for help with an account balance refund.

Steps-to-follow

  • ✓ Set up an ICSolutions Friends & Family prepaid account and add funds to pay for calls you receive.
  • ✓ Add money to the incarcerated person’s trust account so they can buy phone minutes through commissary.
  1. Pick the funding method - Decide whether you want to pay for calls directly through an ICSolutions Friends & Family prepaid account, or whether you want to fund the person’s trust account so they can buy phone minutes through commissary.
  2. Add money to the right place - If you chose prepaid, fund your ICSolutions Friends & Family account. If you chose commissary minutes, deposit money into the incarcerated person’s trust account.
  3. Handle any old Securus balances separately - Securus Advance Connect funds do not move over automatically to ICSolutions. Call Securus at 1-800-844-6591 to ask about a refund for any remaining balance.

Before sending money, confirm which option your loved one is actually using for calls. The two funding routes work differently. You'll either fund your own ICSolutions Friends & Family prepaid account (to cover calls you receive) or deposit money into the incarcerated person's trust account so they can buy phone minutes through commissary.

Note: If you previously added money to Securus Advance Connect, don't expect it to transfer to ICSolutions. Call Securus at 1-800-844-6591 to check your balance and request a refund for any remaining funds.
