Yes. This is from Elmwood Jail. The jail phones ONLY ACCEPTS CALLS FROM LAND LINE PHONES (HOME PHONES). NOT CELL PHONES. THE JAIL CAN TRACE AND OR MONITOR CALLS FROM HOME/LAND LINE PHONES. NOT CELL PHONES. When the automated attendant says" say*****o" It's voice automated. Sometimes it will have a delay when you respond via your voice. If you don't know someone that locked up at Elmwood and if you accept the charges some inmates will try and communicate via like a three way. I'VE DONE THIS BEFORE FOR MY NEPHEW WHO WAS AT ELMWOOD here's an example:Say your boyfriend is locked up at Elmwood. But YOU only have a cell phone ONLY. No home phone. I am your friend and I have a home phone. So the way to go around this is...So you boyfriend will call me on my home phone (for you) and I then will accept the collect call and we talk and say*****o. While he's on the line I will then call you via 3-way on your cell phone. Once I got you on the line I will then click back over and ALL 3 OF US ARE ON THE LINE. So now I will just put my phone down (not ****ing-up, like I has to go to the bathroom or so****ing, excusing my self) and now both you and your boyfriend can now talk to one another. Then when there finished talking, they both will just ****-up. When I come back to check and no one is talking. Then I will ****-up as well.BY DOING THIS, YOU ARE STILL RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT COLLECT CALL AND CHARGES. SO BY DOING THIS, IT BETTER BE A DAM GOOD FRIEND OR RELATIVE THAT YOU KNOW AND 100% POSITIVE THAT THEY WILL PAY YOU BACK FOR THE CHARGES MADE TO YOUR HOME PHONE.HOPE THIS WAS NOT TO CONFUSING!  =)

I don't know how they got my number. This is the first time I've gotten a call asking if I'd accept a collect call.It was an automated call asking if I'd accept a collect call from "some name" (mumbled).  Press 1 to accept, Press 2 to decline.I pressed 2 and it said I will not receive collect calls.Hope I pressed the right number!
