New York Ringless Voicemail Compliance
RVM (ringless voicemail drop) compliance rules in New York
Mini-TCPA State — N.Y. Gen. Bus. Law §§ 399-p, 399-z
New York 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.
Treat RVM as requiring prior express written consent when targeting New York consumers. While NY has not issued definitive guidance on RVM classification, the federal TCPA framework and FCC signals treat RVM as a "call." Using RVM for commercial solicitation to NY consumers without consent exposes you to both federal TCPA liability and potential NY GBL § 399-z violations (unsolicited telemarketing). The conservative and correct approach is to obtain written consent before any RVM campaign to NY numbers.
