Oregon regulates telephone solicitation in ORS 646.561 to 646.578 and automatic dialing and announcing devices in ORS 646A.370 to 646A.376. Since January 1, 2026, a telephone solicitation includes a text message as well as a call. A solicitor may not contact a party who has asked not to be called or texted again, may not solicit outside 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. or more than three times in 24 hours without an established business relationship, may not misrepresent its identity or purpose, and may not solicit numbers on the do-not-call list. Robocall devices must offer a one-digit opt-out within 10 seconds.
The state sets no consent requirement of its own. Violations are unlawful trade practices. A person with an ascertainable loss from a willful violation can sue for actual damages or $200, whichever is greater, and class actions are allowed. Prosecutors can seek civil penalties up to $25,000 per willful violation, or $5,000 for robocall device violations.
