Overview

Ocean County Jail handles phone calls, video visits, and electronic messaging through third-party vendors. What's available depends on custody status and vendor services. For desktop video visits, download GTL VisBridge and run the Internet Visit Tester at least 10 minutes before your scheduled start time to verify your camera and audio work. You'll also need to open and activate an account with the approved vendor to receive calls or video visits and to add funds for prepaid services. A few privacy details worth knowing: vendor materials state that voice and image data are recorded and stored, and using the service counts as consent. If you accept a ViaPath/Telmate call, your phone location can be obtained for 60 minutes (unless you decline the call). The vendor also reported an August 2020 data breach that exposed users' personal information.
