Connecticut telemarketing calling hours

Calling hours in Connecticut

Connecticut allows telephone solicitations every day 9:00 AM to 8:00 PM, in the recipient's local time (Conn. Gen. Stat. 42-288a(c)). Applies to sales calls and texts to Connecticut residents or Connecticut area codes, with exceptions such as replies to the consumer's own request.

The federal TCPA window of 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM (47 CFR 64.1200(c)(1)) still applies on top of the state rule. Where the two differ, the stricter one wins.

What else applies

Calling hours are one rule among several. Consent for autodialed and AI or prerecorded voice calls, the National Do Not Call Registry and debt collection rules apply to Connecticut calls separately. Mobile numbers can move with their owner, so the area code is a best guess at location. This is not legal advice; check with counsel before you change a calling program.
