State vs Federal Comparison
Call Frequency Limits
No state-specific call frequency limits beyond federal TCPA. Federal rules apply.
What These Hours Mean in Practice
Timezone matters: Calling hours apply in the recipient's local time zone, not yours. A call placed at 8:30 AM Eastern to a California number is a violation — it is 5:30 AM Pacific.
Outbound only: These restrictions apply to outbound telemarketing calls. Inbound calls initiated by the consumer are not subject to calling hour restrictions.
Governing statute: S.C. Code § 16-17-446
