JPay is a company that offers convenient and affordable services to inmates in correctional facilities including emails, music, educational services, money transfer, parole and probation payments. The company also offers video visitation services to inmates.

JPay has a mobile app though which you can access their services. The app is available for both Android and iOS users.

You should know beforehand that not all features on the JPay website are available on the mobile app. You may have to compare the two to know which services those are and act accordingly.

Sadly, the app faces many issues and it is not uncommon to see complaints online by relatives of inmates who have been unable to use the app. It can be devastating when a family cannot contact their loved one or are unable to send them money for important reasons due to problems with the app.

Many problems with the app are as a result of bugs which are not fixed in a timely manner by the app's maintenance team. Common problems with the JPay app include failure to get notifications on the app, failure to log in to the app, failure to transfer funds through the app, failure to send or receive emails though the app, failure to upload videos and the inability to load funds.

Solutions

When you are having problems with the JPay app, it can help to try some reliable, tried and tested solutions such as the oldest troubleshooting solution in the book: turning your phone off and then back on.

If that does not work, you can try another troubleshooting solution: uninstalling the app on your phone and then reinstalling it. This troubleshooting solution can be especially helpful if the glitches with the JPay app are as a result of bugs in an outdated version of the app. Reinstalling the app allows you to download a recent version with the earlier glitches eradicated. You should read the terms and conditions before doing this to ensure you will not lose any important data in the process.

Contact Customer Support

If the above solutions fail, you should reach out to JPay's customer support for assistance. You can contact JPay customer support through the following ways:

You can send JPay an email directly from the JPay website. You can do this through the following process:

  1. Launch your browser and open JPay.com
  2. Log in to your account
  3. Scroll to the bottom of the page and under the 'JPay.com' tab click 'Contact Us'

Why does GetHuman Write How-to Guides for JPay Problems?

GetHuman has been working for over 10 years on sourcing information about big organizations like JPay in order to help customers resolve customer service issues faster. We started with contact information and fastest ways to reach a human at big companies. Particularly ones with slow or complicated IVR or phone menu systems. Or companies that have self-serve help forums instead of a customer service department. From there, we realized that consumers still needed more detailed help solving the most common problems, so we expanded to this set of guides, which grows every day. And if you spot any issues with our What Do I Do If I'm Having Problems with My JPay App? guide, please let us know by sending us feedback. We want to be as helpful as possible. If you appreciated this guide, please share it with your favorite people. Our free information and tools is powered by you, the customer. The more people that use it, the better it gets.
