The Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) (47 USC §227) and other related laws prohibit businesses and individuals from advertising through unsolicited text messages or unwanted phone calls to your cellular phone. The Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 (TCPA) was passed by the United States Congress in 1991 and signed into law by President George H. W. Bush as Public Law 102-243. It amended the Communications Act of 1934. The TCPA is codified as 47 U.S.C. 227. The TCPA restricts telephone solicitations (i.e., telemarketing) and the use of automated telephone equipment. This includes protections under the cell phone spam text law.

The TCPA limits the use of automatic dialing systems, artificial or prerecorded voice messages, SMS text messages, and fax machines. It also specifies several technical requirements for fax machines, autodialers, and voice messaging systems—principally with provisions requiring identification and contact information of the entity using the device to be contained in the message. If you believe you have been targeted, our spam text attorneys can help you pursue an unsolicited text message lawsuit for potential lawsuit compensation for spam.
