- Inmates are supposed to receive X free calls when they're booked in, why don't they hear a prompt to place a free call?

- We have an inmate who is trying to make a call using a calling card. The call won't dial and when we look at the reason why the attempt failed, it tells us the card is invalid. We have verified that the inmate is entering the card number and code correctly but it still says it's invalid. Why is this happening? (Note: Calling Cards are a feature available only in OCS 3.0 or higher)
The two main reasons for the INVALID CARD failure reason is the card number or code are entered incorrectly or the card is already associated with another inmate's TID. On the main OCS search screen you will see a tab at the far right called 'Calling Cards'. From there you can search the card number and see if it is associated with an inmate. You can also view the card's balance, previous calls made on the card and whether it is active
Close
- I did not receive an ACH transfer email today and there is not a batch to close what is wrong?
If a user encounters this it is likely because their IEngine (InmateBanker Transfer IEngine) has stopped. The solution is to logon to the facility’s OMS server, open services, Choose “InmateBanker Transfer IEngine” and select stop, wait about 10 seconds and select start. They will then have to change their cash drawer to 85 and manually close the batch.

Open the top cover of the kiosk and unload the paper. Blow on the 2 sensors at the back center of the printer.
