Note: Log in to your visit up to 15 minutes early and run the network tests in the location you will be visiting from. This will test your visit connectivity more accurately.

  2. ICS Mobile will then take you through the echo test. Read the prompt for the echo test and tap OK to continue.

Note: If you log in to the visit and run the tests early, you will not be connected prior to the scheduled visitation time. The timer will begin automatically at the scheduled time even if the inmate hasn’t connected yet. Once the inmate has connected, you will only have the remaining time left for the visit.
