Illinois Ringless Voicemail Compliance
RVM (ringless voicemail drop) compliance rules in Illinois
Mini-TCPA State — 815 ILCS 413/ (Restricted Call Registry Act)
Illinois has enacted a state-level TCPA that goes beyond federal requirements. Federal compliance alone is not enough for Ringless Voicemail operations here.
Consent Requirements
One-to-One Consent Required
Shared consent from lead generators is NOT valid. Consent must specifically name your company.
RVM is not specifically addressed in Illinois statute, but the broad ATDS and prerecorded message definitions likely cover it. Given the CRIMINAL penalties for unauthorized automated calls plus the RCRA private right of action plus potential BIPA exposure, Illinois is among the worst states for unauthorized RVM. Treat as requiring prior express written consent.
