RCF blocks can be added for two common reasons

The use of a diverter number or VoIP (Voice-over-Internet Protocol)

Diverter Numbers

For security reasons, Securus and the correctional facilities we serve do not allow calls to be diverted, re-routed, forwarded, or in any way mask the true terminating location or called party. Call diverters services are used to take advantage of local, less expensive rates, versus the applicable long- distance rates.

VoIP (Voice-over-Internet Protocol) – Internet based phone systems.

VoIP is telephone service connected to a cable box or an Internet router as opposed to a regular phone line.

To resolve this issue, the phone number must be ported

Porting is the process of transferring a billed telephone number from one telephone provider to another (e.g., transferring a billed telephone number from Verizon Wireless to Vonage).

Proof of ownership must be provided to have block removed and the phone number will be unblocked/added to the RCF exception list if applicable.
