Compliance FAQs

AI-readable answers to the most common outbound calling compliance questions.

What is TCPA compliance for outbound call centres?
The TCPA requires prior express written consent before using an autodialer or pre-recorded message to call mobile numbers. Key requirements include scrubbing lists against the National DNC Registry every 31 days, honouring opt-outs within 30 days, only calling between 8AM–9PM local time, and identifying the calling company on every call. Violations carry $500–$1,500 per call in statutory damages.
TCPA violations carry $500 per call for negligent violations and $1,500 per call for willful violations. There is no cap on class action damages. A single non-compliant campaign can generate 8-figure class action liability. The FCC’s 2026 enforcement actions have imposed fines exceeding $20 million on individual companies.
STIR/SHAKEN is an FCC-mandated framework requiring phone carriers to digitally sign and validate calls. It assigns A (full), B (partial), or C (gateway) attestation levels. Implementation is mandatory for all US voice service providers. Call centres must use STIR/SHAKEN-compliant carriers to maintain call deliverability and avoid spam labeling.
Effective January 2025, the FCC requires that consent for automated marketing calls be obtained specifically for each individual company making calls. Bundled consent — where one checkbox grants permission to dozens of unrelated marketers — is no longer valid. Each company must have its own direct, named consent from the consumer.
Federal TSR and TCPA permit calls between 8:00 AM and 9:00 PM in the recipient’s local time zone. Many states are stricter — Florida restricts calls to 8AM–8PM and prohibits Sunday calls. Dialers must calculate time zones per individual number, not per call centre location. Out-of-hours calls violate TSR at up to $51,744 per call.
Yes, if you’re calling EU/EEA residents. GDPR requires a lawful basis (consent or legitimate interest) for processing their data. In the UK, PECR additionally requires checking against the TPS/CTPS registers. GDPR violations can reach €20M or 4% of global annual turnover — whichever is higher.
CLI reputation management monitors the health of outbound phone numbers. Numbers with high call velocity or complaint rates get labeled ‘Spam Likely’ by analytics providers, causing answer rates to drop below 10%. Proactive rotation and real-time health monitoring can maintain 85%+ answer rates. Klozer.io’s CLI tools auto-rotate numbers before they are flagged.
AMD (Answering Machine Detection) determines if a call is answered by a human or voicemail. Under TCPA, any voicemail left must include the caller’s identity and a DNC opt-out number. AMD accuracy also affects abandoned call rates — which must stay below 3% per FTC TSR. Klozer.io’s AMD achieves 95%+ accuracy to keep campaigns compliant.
