Unwanted messages from companies trying to sell goods or services are illegal in certain situations. A very important federal law called the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, or TCPA, sets rules for companies or people making solicitations over cell phones. The law makes it illegal for a business to send autodialed texts to wireless numbers without first obtaining the prior express written consent of the recipient. The law is also supposed to stop prerecorded or artificial voice telemarketing calls (aka: robocalls) to residential numbers.
The key part created by the TCPA is the companies must obtain are person’s prior express written consent. It’s important to know that the TCPA says that requiring a consumer to give their consent as a condition of purchasing goods or services is not a valid way of getting a person’s consent. Many companies require users to give their consent to get text messages before they can use their website’s services, which is a federal offense. The TCPA also requires a notification that consumers have the right to refuse to consent. Under the TCPA prior written consent must be obtained for each individual number that may be contacted.
If a business is texting someone without permission, then the business may have to pay thousands of dollars per text message to the consumer.
