How to Register Your Phone to Receive Calls from Wayne Scott Unit

To receive phone calls from someone at the Wayne Scott Unit, you need to register your phone number through the Texas Inmate Telephone Friends & Family Enrollment website. No registration, no calls - it's that simple. You'll need the inmate's TDCJ ID number to complete enrollment. The system uses that ID to link your phone number to the right person. Don't have it? Look it up using the online inmate search or call one of the numbers below.

1. Gather the inmate’s TDCJ ID number - you’ll need it to complete the enrollment.
2. Register your phone number online - use the Texas Inmate Telephone Friends & Family Enrollment website to submit your number.
3. Use phone support if you get stuck - call (866) 806-7804 for telephone enrollment assistance.

Calls from the Wayne Scott Unit can only go to certain number types: home landlines, post-paid cell phones, and pre-paid cell phones. Internet-based numbers won't work. Neither will 800 numbers, business phones, pay phones, or international numbers. If you try to register a restricted number type, expect it to be rejected.

Registration Rules

• ✓ Confirm you are the registered owner of the telephone number
• ✓ Agree to allow the inmate to call the telephone number
• ✓ Confirm you are at least 18 years old

Once registered, you'll need to follow a few call restrictions. No call forwarding. No three-way calls. No speakerphone. If you usually put calls on speaker while cooking or driving, break that habit before the first call comes through - it can disconnect the line.

Running into problems? First, double-check that your number is actually registered through the Texas Inmate Telephone Friends & Family Enrollment site. For phone assistance, call (866) 806-7804 during their listed hours. If the issue is a missing TDCJ ID number, use the online inmate search or call (936) 295-6371 or (800) 535-0283 to find it. Then try registering again.
