TCPA

The TCPA (or Telephone Consumer Protection Act) is a law passed in 1991 and modified in 2013 that limits the use of automatic dialing systems, voice messages, SMS text messages, and fax machines to contact consumers. The law is designed to protect consumers from unwanted telemarketing solicitations. The law requires that consumers provide prior express written consent in order to receive a text message or receive a call on their cell phone using an automated dialing system or pre-recorded message.
