Is it really free?
Yep! Ameelio believes that staying connected with your loved ones and paying for basic needs shouldn't be a tradeoff. You'll never have to pay for a video or voice call with us.
So, what is Ameelio anyway?
Ameelio is a nonprofit, and our mission is to build free-to-use communications technology to create a more humane and rehabilitative corrections system. You may recognize the name from our free mailing app 'Ameelio Mail: Photos to Prison', but we're only getting started.
When will Ameelio Connect be available in my facility?
If your loved one isn't incarcerated at facilities offering our service in Iowa, Colorado, Illinois, or Karachi, Pakistan, don't worry too much. Ameelio is working hard with policymakers and DOCs across the US and globally to make free video and voice calling a reality for everyone!
*In order to use the service, you must first receive authorization from the facility as an approved visitor.
Loved it!
Great to be able to see them in person .
Connection issues all the time. Spend half the visit waiting for one party to get back on. Says the facilitator left the room and drops the visit when he didnt even get up from hos chair Today i cant even join the visit. There isnt a button for it and the app wont go to the home page. CONSTANTLY Logs you out of the visit claiming "poor/weak internet connection by one of the parties or both, when nothing has changed! Huge disappointment for everyone and lets the inmates down
I've had a positive experience with this service.ive been able to see and talk to my loved one on this app.im grateful.thank you
I love this app
helps so much
Took me a min. to figure out how to be able to join call, because I already had the app open, so had to go out and come back in. Once I joined the call tho, picture quality and audio quality were perfect! Had zero issues with either and enjoyed seeing as well as hearing from my loved one. The ONLY issue I had w/ entire thing was from the end of the correctional facility requiring me to submit 4 photos with my I.D., claiming picture wasn't clear enough, when it CLEARLY WAS. I recommend this app.
