Re: Wait, what?
And, as noted above, those rules are pretty much ignored. The other way the marketing droids got around that was to jack the prices of everything in every store and then offer a "loyalty card" where you have to tell them your phone number and other details in order to get a "discount" by using the card. I don't use them. The T&Cs of all of these allow the company to contact you anytime they want, as well as to sell your details to anyone they like who can also contact you all the time. Unfortunately, my wife filled in a couple of those, and we pretty much lost the use of our land line since 99% of the calls on it are crap. They also CONSTANTLY spoof numbers. I just turned off the ringer and told her if she tells anybody my cell number, what happens won't be pretty.
In other words, there are no practical limits on robocalls in the USA. The only right we folks have left in the "Land of the Free" is to be spied on and screwed over by the corporations and government to their heart's content. Bend over, here comes the red hot spike!
