Notes

Oklahoma requires OTSA registration ($50,000 bond) and prior express consent for telemarketing voice calls. Hours: 9 AM–9 PM. Must scrub federal DNC Registry and maintain internal DNC list. Agent must be available immediately — no call abandonment. Must disconnect within 10 seconds of hang-up. Caller ID must be truthful. Written sales script must be filed with AG. $10,000 per violation + criminal penalties. Manual dialing to non-DNC numbers is the cold calling path.

ATDS Definition

15 O.S. § 775A.3 prohibits automatic dialing-announcing devices for prerecorded messages without consent. Oklahoma does not define ATDS more broadly than federal for live calls, but the OTSA definition of telephone solicitation explicitly includes electronic communications, making the scope broader overall.

Statute

15 O.S. §§ 775A.1-775A.11

Notes

CRITICAL: Oklahoma's OTSA explicitly covers text messages as telephone solicitations. This means SMS marketing to Oklahoma consumers triggers OTSA registration, the $50,000 bond, all prohibited practice rules, and the full penalty framework ($10,000/violation + criminal). Prior express written consent required under both OTSA and federal TCPA. One-to-one consent under FCC January 2025 rule. This is a major compliance trap — many operators do not realize OTSA covers texts.

ATDS Definition

OTSA explicitly includes electronic communications in the definition of telephone solicitation (15 O.S. § 775A.1). This means text message marketing triggers OTSA registration and compliance requirements on top of federal TCPA.

Statute

15 O.S. § 775A.1; 47 U.S.C. § 227

Notes

AI voice calls trigger both OTSA automatic dialing device restrictions and FCC 24-17 classification. Prior express written consent required. Full OTSA compliance applies: registration, bond, calling hours, caller ID, and penalty framework. AI voice technology represents a heightened risk in Oklahoma given the criminal penalty structure.

ATDS Definition

No state-specific AI voice definition, but OTSA's prohibition on automatic dialing-announcing devices likely covers AI-generated voice calls. FCC 24-17 classification applies.

Statute

15 O.S. § 775A.3; 47 U.S.C. § 227; FCC 24-17

Notes

Oklahoma prohibits prerecorded messages without consent under OTSA. Federal TCPA written consent also applies. Must disconnect within 10 seconds. Prerecorded message must identify caller and provide callback. 3-day rescission applies to any sale.

ATDS Definition

15 O.S. § 775A.3 specifically prohibits automatic dialing-announcing devices delivering prerecorded messages without prior consent.

Statute

15 O.S. § 775A.3; 47 U.S.C. § 227(b)(1)(B)

Notes

Ringless voicemail likely triggers both OTSA and federal TCPA. OTSA's broad solicitation definition and prohibition on automatic dialing-announcing devices suggest RVM drops are covered. Prior express written consent required. Full OTSA penalty framework applies.

ATDS Definition

No state-specific definition. FCC treats RVM as a call under TCPA. OTSA's broad definition of telephone solicitation may also cover RVM.

Statute

15 O.S. § 775A.1; 47 U.S.C. § 227

Notes

MMS likely triggers OTSA as an electronic communication in addition to federal TCPA requirements. Prior express written consent required. One-to-one consent under FCC 2025 rule. Full OTSA penalty framework applies.

ATDS Definition

OTSA covers electronic communications, which likely includes MMS. Federal TCPA also applies.

Statute

15 O.S. § 775A.1; 47 U.S.C. § 227

Notes

Unsolicited fax advertising follows federal TCPA rules. EBR exemption available. Oklahoma does not impose additional state-level fax restrictions beyond OTSA general provisions.

ATDS Definition

Federal TCPA Junk Fax Prevention Act standards apply.

Exemptions

EBR exemption for faxes to existing business relationships with opt-out notice.

Statute

47 U.S.C. § 227(b)(1)(C)
