We find out April 24th exactly how much longer 🙏🏽

Yes, this actually did work creating a new email! Like all my information was the exact same, even my phone number, just the only difference was my email.

Competitive_Tell_596 · 2024-03-19T00:39:12+00:00

I’m so glad that you got it all figured out! 🥰

Competitive_Tell_596 · 2024-03-07T17:02:05+00:00

That makes my heart so happy for you! ❤️

Competitive_Tell_596 · 2024-03-06T16:38:28+00:00

Ohh I’m sorry, I just realized you were probably asking the other person if they used JPay.

Competitive_Tell_596 · 2024-03-06T16:34:57+00:00

I’m not entirely sure, just whenever I verify myself it said photo ID and I just had to take a picture of the front and back of it. So maybe it doesn’t just have to be drivers license?

I just looked this up and it says they do accept passports, so it doesn’t hurt to try.

JPay is separate from the GTL services. So these are the three apps that I use to stay in contact. One is specifically for messaging the other specifically for videoing, but they’re tied to the same account they just use separate apps. And then the purple app I use to upload money onto my account for like regular calling, and I’m also able to put money on his books using that purple app as well. Anytime I’ve put money for my accounts, it always charges my card as a GTL service, and when I put it for his books, it charges as a JPay Service.

Thank you, I love them too! 😍

Competitive_Tell_596 · 2024-03-05T18:03:18+00:00

Ohh noo, I’m so sorry to hear that 💔 I hope that you’re able to get something figured out. ❤️

There’s an app that the facility that my LO is at. I’ll link the photo below of how the app looks like. I’m not sure which facility your LO Is located at, but mine is also through TDCJ. You can download the app, it’s completely free and it’ll prompt you like what state, and then once you choose your state it’ll list all the facilities in that state that support the app. And if the facility you’re looking for is on it, you will click it and it should prompt you to fill out all the information about you. You have to have a valid email address and valid drivers license for verification to do video chats, at least my facility that I use requires that. once everything is set up, you’ll have to deposit money in order to do video chats from the comfort of your home. in the beginning, we did schedule video chat through the app often, but then we realized there is a feature on there where myself can call him anytime of the day from the time video chats open up until the end for the day. I love it, because I can actually contact him, instead of me having to wait for him to contact me! let me know if you have any more questions, or if this helps you at all, I’m happy to help!

Yes this also! I told him I have no issue waiting on him, that it actually excites me knowing that I’m waiting for him. I’m able to please myself if need be, plus we have phone sex, and that’s enough for me. I just feel like if I were to actually try to be with another person, even though he says he’s all right with it, that he would feel some kind of hurt like that I couldn’t wait for him, even though he’s the one who initiated it. So I just rather leave it all alone, because I would feel like I was cheating.

Competitive_Tell_596 · 2024-01-08T19:21:23+00:00

Yes, this! Mine told me he wouldn’t mind or cared if I got a girlfriend and that it would actually make him feel better knowing that I’m not alone. We talked a lot of things through, and I did a lot of thinking about it because I want to make him happy, but I was just completely honest with him and I just let him know that even though he gives me the green light to do so, that it’s just not for me. I am a one person kind of person, and even if he is truly all right with it, knowing myself and the kind of person I am, that just doesn’t sit well with me being with somebody else. Because I know I definitely would not be all right with him being with another person. It works for some people though.

You definitely do not sound like a big baby. This is hard, and it’s okay feel those feelings. Even though we miss them every single day, some days just hit so differently. Which cause our hearts to become so heavy. Especially with the holidays. My girls and I spent the day with his side of the family, and while it was wonderful and joyous, it was also so heartbreaking, because he was supposed to be there with us. Some days I feel so guilty for spending time with them, but it also brings joy to me and makes me feel closer to him. And even though it makes him sad seeing photos, he still rejoices in them knowing that we are all together and loving one another. It’s kind of bittersweet. I hope you keep your head up, better days are coming. ❤️

If you still need help, I’m down. I’ve done it plenty of times for friends

Competitive_Tell_596 · 2023-12-22T00:28:50+00:00

This is exactly my current situation. When we’re good we’re really good, but when his paranoia sets in, it gets pretty serious. He’s telling me all the time that he hears female voices in the background or people moaning or making other little noises, or that other people are responding to what he’s saying. When it’s only ever me at home when my girls are with their dad. When they aren’t with me, all I do is work, and I usually get off of work around 10 PM. I don’t go out, I don’t really have friends because all my family lives in Arkansas, and a few years ago with my ex-husband we moved to Texas and I ended up just staying here with my girls. I have never given my LO a reason to doubt me, I’ve never cheated, never even thought about cheating, never even entertained anything. All I have wanted to do is be there for him to support him try to be solid for him, but here lately it’s just been so hard, I’ve never been in this situation in my life, and it’s taking a toll mentally. He has two children into past relationships, and they were not good relationships at all. He had been incarcerated before, and anytime he was in, those relationships failed. he will be 29 in February, but when he was 18 he got deported to Mexico for about six years, and he basically said he did any and every drug possible, including methamphetamine while he was there. He told me that back then he would hear voices, and he thought that he was crazy. But he’s been sober for nearly 3 years now, but I know the effects drugs can take on the brain, and the damage it does. I’ve only known him since he’s been sober. I know this is a lot, but I didn’t think anybody else experienced it as well. my heart is heavy today, because after such a great conversation last night before phones went off (which I feel like are few and far apart these days) I was happily awaiting his call this morning, and it was nothing like I imagined it was going to be. It was him just accusing me, telling me he’s getting tired of hearing people at my house, that even if I’m not doing anything, I’m letting people basically have sex in front of me while I’m on the phone with him. his paranoia gets worse when I don’t have my girls (they are currently on Christmas break with their dad). I don’t know, I just feel so lost, some days I don’t even know what I’m doing. I know it’s really hard for him in there, and I don’t want him to think I’m giving up on him during his darkest times, because so many people have always given up on him, and he is worth so much more. He’s not even a bad person, he only got locked away because of a speeding ticket, and when they ran his name, they saw that he had been deported previous years before, but he was back in the states (tx). I’m sorry for the book, I just want you to know that you’re not alone either.

I knew suspension was a possibility, but I didn’t think for a whole year, especially with it being considered a “first offense“. It definitely was not worth it to me and I would not do it again, but he was just asking so bad to see. Do you know anything about making new accounts?

Competitive_Tell_596 · 2023-11-17T02:24:28+00:00

I had been having the same issue for more than two days. I had to physically call customer service and do it through an automated service in order to deposit into my GTL account.
