The FCC is cracking down on ringless voicemail spam
without consent. Companies need your permission to leave these junk messages as they're still considered calls, the FCC says. The ruling takes effect today.
The finding comes five years after marketers first asked for exemptions to the regulations surrounding ringless voicemails, the FCC says. The requests, from All About the Message and two other petitioners, reportedly drew"overwhelming" negative feedback from public commenters. The Commission added that it receives"dozens" of complaints about these voicemails each year. FCC chair Jessica Rosenworcel proposed extending the TCPA to this spam in February.
