How to Contact an Inmate at Wichita County Jail , TX (TX)

To receive phone calls from an inmate at Wichita County Jail, you'll need to create and fund an AdvancePay account through ConnectNetwork. If that account isn't set up and funded before your loved one tries calling, the call won't go through.

For video visits from home, you'll need a computer with a webcam and microphone (or a laptop with those built in), a supported internet browser, and a high-speed internet connection. Headphones help with audio quality and give you a bit more privacy on your end.

Steps to Follow

• ✓ Create an AdvancePay account with ConnectNetwork.
• ✓ Add funds to your AdvancePay account so calls can be billed properly.
• ✓ Follow the prompts from ConnectNetwork (and any instructions from the facility) to make sure you are set up to receive calls from your loved one.

• ✓ Use a computer with a webcam and microphone (built-in is fine).
• ✓ Use a supported internet browser.
• ✓ Make sure you have a high-speed internet connection.
• ✓ Use headphones if you can. They are recommended for clearer audio and privacy.
• ✓ Test your camera, mic, and connection ahead of time so you are not troubleshooting when the visit starts.

1. Confirm phone setup requirements: Verify that ConnectNetwork AdvancePay is the required option for Wichita County Jail and ask where to complete setup and funding.
2. Ask how call access works: Check whether you need to be added to an approved list, and whether there are any account rules that could block calls.
3. Verify video visit compatibility: Confirm the current supported browsers and any device requirements, since an unsupported setup can prevent a visit from starting.
4. Confirm scheduling and costs: Ask about any video visit scheduling process and any applicable fees, since those details are not always listed in the same place as the equipment requirements.
