"Telemarketers can't call you before 8 a.m. or after 9 p.m."
Reins in Robocalling
Most businesses need your written permission before they can call you with prerecorded telemarketing messages, or “robocalls.” A business has to make it clear it’s asking to call you with robocalls. It can’t require you to agree to the robocalls in order to get any goods or services. If you agree, you have the right to change your mind.
Businesses using robocalls have to tell you at the beginning of the message how you can prevent future calls. They must provide an automated opt-out you can activate by voice or keypress throughout the call. If the message could be left on your voicemail or answering machine, businesses must provide a toll-free number at the beginning of the message that will connect to an automated opt-out system you can use any time.
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulations prohibit telemarketers from using automated dialers to call cell phone numbers without prior consent. Automated dialers are standard in the industry, so most telemarketers are barred from calling consumers' cell phones without their consent.
Called at 8:15 a.m. (before robocalls are legally allowed to be placed at 9). Computerized voice left the number in my voicemail, but no details as to who I should call. Number shows as Reno, NV area. I have no commercial interests in that area code. Going to block it.
