During which hours are telemarketers allowed to make calls?

Telemarketers are legally allowed to make calls between 8 AM and 9 PM local time. This regulation is designed to protect consumers from unsolicited calls during early morning or late evening hours, which are generally considered to be inappropriate times to receive marketing calls. The time frame provided ensures that telemarketing activities occur during hours when recipients are more likely to be awake and available to engage in conversation.

This restriction is part of the rules established under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) and other regulations that aim to provide consumer protection against intrusive marketing practices. Compliance with these laws helps maintain a balance between the interests of businesses conducting legitimate marketing efforts and the privacy and comfort of consumers at home.
