Original: Message Received: PA Courts Say TCPA Do-Not-Call Rules Apply to Text Messages

Short summary

Pennsylvania court ruled that text messages fall under TCPA's Do Not Call Registry, requiring SMS campaigns to obtain explicit consent and maintain durable opt-outs. The decision reinforces the FCC's 2024 guidance and applies to all companies sending texts to DNCR-listed numbers. Companies must immediately update compliance systems and consent tracking to treat SMS as regulated telemarketing.

  • •TCPA's Do Not Call Registry now applies to SMS, not just phone calls
  • •Explicit consent and durable opt-out systems required for all text message campaigns to DNCR-listed numbers
  • •Immediate compliance updates mandatory for SMS marketers nationwide
