What Is Prohibited By The TCPA
The most common violations of the TCPA involve autodialing, robocalls and unsolicited text messages. Autodialers are just that: equipment or computer programs that automatically dial phone numbers. Even if a live person is on the other end of the call, it is still against the law for companies to use an autodialer. Some of the telltale signs that an autodialer is being used include hang-ups after you have answered the call or a long period of silence before the other person on the line speaks.
