GTL’s Phone IQ combats inmate fraud and
criminal activity by determining phone type
REStoN, Virginia – global
tel*Link (gtL), the leading provider
of correctional technology
solutions, announces the release
of Phone iQÔ, a new intelligence
application available for its
inmate telephone platforms that
combats fraud and other criminal
activity by detecting a called
party’s phone line type.
Phone iQ detects whether
calls from a correctional facility
are being placed to a traditional
landline, a cellular phone, a
disposable burner cell phone,
or voice over internet protocol
(VoiP) line. The gtL inmate
telephone system user interface
provides a visual indicator
to alert users as to what is the
called party’s phone type. Users
are able to filter call detail reporting
by the phone type detected
and view the phone type
indicator when monitoring calls
in progress.
Determining what type of
phone an inmate is calling can
be invaluable information to an
investigator searching for fraudulent
or other criminal activity,
especially in facilities that limit
the types of phones that inmates
are allowed to call. investigators
can quickly spot frequent changes
of phone numbers, specifically
prepaid burner phones, called
by watched inmates or groups of
inmates. isolating calls to burner
phones can aide in researching
calls with valuable content. it
also increases the facility’s control
in deciding if specific calls
should be flagged and an alert
sent.
Phone iQ is one of many
tools in the iQ family of intelligence
products. together, these
products form the most holistic
approach to intelligence gathering
in the correctional industry,
offering investigators a broad
range of options for gathering
pertinent, actionable intelligence.

about this new fraud and criminal
activity detection feature,
