About Consolidated Telecom, Inc.™

CTEL currently operates inmate telephone systems in a variety of County Jails and Juvenile Detention Centers in the United States. Historically, correctional facilities looked to the local exchange carrier to install and maintain the inmate telephones. Over time, correctional facilities realized the need to evaluate and customize the technologies and services available to their individual institution.

CTEL’s offered services include specialized call processing and billing services for use by correctional facilities, direct local and long distance call processing, and value added services such as digital recording, jail management systems, video booking, local area network design and installation, cabling, and call-processing system software and hardware.

Proactive Service and Maintenance reduces telephone downtime. Our comprehensive service plans and quick response times ensure that all equipment is working satisfactory and that overhead due to complaints is practically eliminated.

Our technology provides a more reliable phone system and the ability for authorized personnel to access the inmate telephone system from anywhere. This new system allows you to retrieve call detail records, restrict/allow numbers and monitor live calls from any PC with an internet connection. All calls are routed Voice-Over-IP (VoIP) to one of our secure datacenters.

Generous Commissions are paid each month on every call made on our system. This includes collect, debit, calling card and pre-paid collect (PPC) calls.

Security is something that we do not take lightly. All call records, recordings and reports are securely stored off site. Only authorized personnel have access to this sensitive data and a number of innovative security measures are in place to make sure that your data is safe. Our systems can increase security by requiring the successful entry of a valid personal identification number (PIN) to provide positive identification of the inmate seeking access to the phone system, prior to call dialing. PIN management can be handled by any one of our support technicians or an authorized on-site employee should the facility elect to utilize pins and allowed numbers.

Reliability with our customer service center staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week all of our customers have the ability to reach us at anytime via phone or e-mail. To eliminate downtime due to power failure, we also utilize multiple Uninterrupted Power Supplies (UPS) and generators to ensure that our phones and computer systems do not experience any avoidable down time.
