JPay tablets are the helpful thing that are usually used by the inmates behind the bar to communicate with the outside world. In order to make it possible, the inmates need to sync the tablet with the JPay account. Syncing the JPay tablet to the JPay account is easy but it might be not for some people.
There is a possibility of the JPay tablet not syncing with the JPay account. This kind of situation might happen due to some reasons. One of the possible reasons is because of the error, the glitch, or the bugs. In this case, the first thing that can be done is to wait for a while and see if it has been fixed. If it is not, then try to uninstall the Jpay app and reinstall it. If it is still not in sync, resetting the JPay tablet might work. In case the same issue is still there, there is an alternative way, which is reaching out the JPay customer service.
The fastest, the easiest, and the best way to contact the JPay customer service is through a phone call. This one works for 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. The phone number that you can call is 800-574-5729. When calling them, please explain the issue that is currently happening clearly so that they can help to find the best solution.
Sending the representative of JPay customer service an email is also possible. This kind of email is able to be sent directly from the official website of Jpay. Do not forget to explain the case well in the message column. After typing, please click the Submit button.
Apart from JPay tablets, JPay also has some new mobile apps for the Apple products (including iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch) and Android devices. They make it possible for the family of friends of inmates to send money to the inmates with just a couple of steps. If you want to transfer money to the inmate, you will have to use the JPay app. This one also can be used by the ex-offenders to make a community correction payment. You can download the app freely and once you have it on your device, you can sync it directly to your JPay account that you created before.
