    Prerecorded Calls

    Prerecorded and Artificial-Voice Call Lawyer

    Marketing calls that use a prerecorded or artificial voice generally require prior express written consent, whether they reach a cell phone or a residential line. A single such call can be actionable, and the voicemail it leaves is often complete proof of the violation.

    We evaluate claims from consumers in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Matters are pursued in federal and state courts, including through association with qualified local counsel or pro hac vice admission where required.

    Your situation may qualify if…

    • You heard a recorded voice rather than a live person
    • A recorded voicemail was left on your phone
    • The message promoted a product, service, or offer
    • You never signed a written agreement to receive such calls

    These are screening indicators only. They do not determine whether a claim exists, which depends on the specific facts and applicable law.

    Voicemails are self-proving evidence

    A prerecorded voicemail captures the script, the offer, the caller's identification or lack of it, and the timestamp. Save the audio file if your phone allows export, and do not delete the voicemail.

    Residential lines are protected too

    Unlike some parts of the statute that focus on wireless numbers, the prerecorded-voice restrictions also reach residential landlines used for personal purposes, which matters for households that still maintain a landline.
