Tennessee telemarketing calling hours

Calling hours in Tennessee

Tennessee 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.

Time zones and area codes in Tennessee

Tennessee spans 2 time zones: Eastern and Central. Most area codes are on Central time. Area code 865 is on Eastern time. Area codes 423, 729 and 931 cover 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.

Tennessee has 8 area codes: 423, 615, 629, 729, 731, 865, 901 and 931. 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 Tennessee 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.
