Nebraska telemarketing calling hours

Calling hours in Nebraska

Nebraska has no stricter hours for live calls, so the federal TCPA window applies to them: telephone solicitations only between 8:00 AM and 9:00 PM in the recipient's local time (47 CFR 64.1200(c)(1)). The FTC's Telemarketing Sales Rule sets the same window, and Regulation F applies it to debt collection calls.

Calls from an automated dialing device have a stricter limit (291 Neb. Admin. Code ch. 11, s. 003.01; Neb. Rev. Stat. 86-248): Solicitations made with an automatic dialing-announcing device may not start before 1:00 PM on Sundays and legal holidays.

Time zones and area codes in Nebraska

Nebraska spans 2 time zones: Central and Mountain. Most area codes are on Central time. Area code 308 covers more than one zone. When the checker cannot tell which zone the person is in, it shows each one and only says you can call when the call is allowed in all of them.

Nebraska has 3 area codes: 308, 402 and 531. Enter one in the checker above to see the hours for that number.

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 Nebraska 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.
