South Dakota telemarketing calling hours

Calling hours in South Dakota

South Dakota allows telephone solicitations Monday to Saturday 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM, with no calls on Sunday, in the recipient's local time (SDCL 37-30A-3(2)). Applies to unsolicited consumer sales calls to a residence.

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 South Dakota

South Dakota spans 2 time zones: Central and Mountain. Most area codes are on Central time. Area code 605 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.

South Dakota uses area code 605.

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 Dakota 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.
