Telemarketing calls to business telephone lines generally are not prohibited. Neither the National Do-Not-Call Registry nor company-specific do-not-call requests apply to business lines. Likewise, most restrictions on the use of prerecorded telemarketing messages do not apply to business lines. Nonetheless, the FCC's rules protect businesses from unreasonable telemarketing practices by:
* prohibiting the use of automatic dialing systems to tie up, at the same time, two or more telephone lines at a multi-line business;
* prohibiting prerecorded messages from “seizing” a telephone line (failure to disconnect within five seconds after the calling system is notified that the called party has hung up);
* requiring all prerecorded messages to include certain identifying information (at the beginning of the message identify the business, individual, or other entity responsible for the call; during or after the message provide the telephone of the business, individual or other entity responsible for the call);
* prohibiting “war dialing” (using any technology to dial a telephone number to determine whether the line can receive faxes); and
* limiting call “abandonment” by telemarketers to no more than 3% of all telemarketing calls over a 30 day period (failure to connect a telemarketing call to a live sales representative within two seconds).
Some of these violations are especially difficult to investigate because they often involve calls in which the perpetrator, or even the precise activity, is not easily identified. The more details you are able to provide, the greater the likelihood that the FCC will be able to determine whether a violation has occurred and could lead to an enforcement action.
