State vs Federal Comparison

Federal TCPA hours8:00 AM – 9:00 PM
SD hours8:00 AM9:00 PM
Verdict: Federal and state rules align — follow federal hours

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.

Violating calling hours in South Dakota: $2,000 per violation.

Compare Calling Hours across states

Federal TCPA is the floor. Each state can — and many do — go further.
