My pp asked for my phone number yet they have not called? Is there some sort of call list they need to have approved. WE write quite often and I was just curios as I am new and did not know how this works?

depends on the state he's in hard to give any advice without that

Did you give a cell phone number or a land line? Cell phones are somewhat hard if not impossible to get a collect or operated assisted call placed on. The cell or local carrier might also have a block on operated assisted calls.

I put this in the Nevada section of the website for a reason.

Find out from your pp which service they use for phone calls. My pp's have different service providers. See thread on Evercom aka Corrections Billing Svcs. I would also call your local phone co to verify if there is a block on your phone number.

Good luck

My Pen-pal calls me from NV. I gave her my cell number to reach me. They have a thing where you get like 5 minutes for free < so you know what the service is> then you have to pre-pay for time. I just started doing it so I'm not an expert, but it looks like you have to prepay time so they can call.
