    Default Telemarketing Law

    TITLE 47 > CHAPTER 5 > SUBCHAPTER II > Part I > § 227

    § 227. Restrictions on use of telephone equipment

    (1) The term “automatic telephone dialing system” means equipment which has the capacity—
    (A) to store or produce telephone numbers to be called, using a random or sequential number generator; and
    (B) to dial such numbers.


    Does that mean if you don't use a random or sequential number generator that you are in the clear for items that use the term "automatic telephone dialing system?"

    Some telemarketers seem to believe so, and use an unstored random number system for calling people. If I were inclined that way, though, I would want an opinion letter from the FTC if at all possible, and if not from them then from a lawyer.

    What kind of lawyer should I see for this? How much do you think it could cost?

    You would want a lawyer who practices in areas involving FTC regulation. Call some area business firms to see if they offer services in that area, and what they would charge.

    Don't you mean FCC?

    I meant the FTC, but you're correct that your plan would presumably fall under FCC regulation as well, and those regulations may be of even greater import.
