South Carolina telemarketing calling hours

Calling hours in South Carolina

South Carolina has no calling-hours law stricter than federal rules, so the federal TCPA window applies: 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.

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 South Carolina 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.
