What are the restrictions on telemarketer calling times?

Telemarketers are restricted from making calls before 8 a.m. or after 9 p.m. local time of the person being called. This regulation is in place to protect consumers from unwanted disturbances during early morning or late evening hours when people typically prefer privacy and quiet time. The establishment of these time frames helps to balance the need for businesses to conduct outreach with the rights of individuals to maintain peace in their own homes during off-hours.

Other options suggest either broad and unrestricted calling times or specific limitations that do not align with the established regulations surrounding telemarketing. For instance, allowing calls anytime or only on weekends does not reflect the regulatory standards that protect consumers.
