Minnesota telemarketing calling hours

Calling hours in Minnesota

Minnesota allows telephone solicitations every day 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM, in the recipient's local time (Minn. Stat. 325E.30). Applies to unsolicited sales calls to residential numbers with no prior relationship, and to all automatic dialing-announcing devices.

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.

Time zones and area codes in Minnesota

Minnesota is on Central time, so the hours above are Central time.

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 Minnesota 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.
