Which calls does the law cover?
The Federal Communications Commission says federal law bars non-emergency autodialer or prerecorded-voice calls to a wireless number without prior express consent FCC autodialer and consent guidance. It also bars artificial or prerecorded-voice calls to a residential line without consent. The U.S. Supreme Court held in Facebook v.
Duguid that an autodialer must use a random or sequential number generator. Merely storing and automatically dialing stored numbers is not enough. Save the message itself, because dialer cases and voice-message cases need different proof. Keep the audio, transcript, and callback number together. Note the date, time, and displayed caller ID.
What kind of consent matters?
For telemarketing, the Federal Communications Commission requires heightened prior express written consent with disclosures. For non-telemarketing informational messages closely related to a service, the Commission says merely providing the phone number may count as consent.
Find your consent language before you assume the calls were illegal. Check account forms, text opt-ins, checkout screens, and any stop or opt-out request you sent. Keep copies of both permission and revocation.
