Wyoming regulates telephone sales calls to consumers in W.S. 40-12-301 through 40-12-305. A caller making an unsolicited sales call to a residential or mobile number must give the caller's name, the business identity, contact details, and the purpose of the call at the outset. Callers may not willfully call numbers on the national do-not-call list, block caller ID, call before 8 a.m. or after 8 p.m., or call unpublished cell numbers. Solicitors must also file a notice with the attorney general.
Sales calls using an automated dialing system or a recorded message are barred, except automated dialing with live messages in response to consumer-initiated calls, to screened numbers, or to existing business relationships. The statute sets no consent standard. The attorney general enforces it, with civil penalties for willful violations of up to $500 for a first violation, $2,500 for a second, and $5,000 for each later one.
