Is TED going to be effected by the new FTC rules on telemarketing calls?
Absolutely not! The Easy Dialer does not make pre-recorded telephone calls or operate in any manner as a voice broadcasting system or predictive auto dialer. On August 19, 2008, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) released an order adopting new rules governing prerecorded telemarketing calls. These rule changes affect businesses that use prerecorded telemarketing calls to reach prospects and customers. In particular, the FTC will mandate, as of September 1, 2009, that prerecorded telemarketing calls may only be conducted if the seller has previously obtained from the recipient a signed, written agreement to receive sales calls. Sellers may obtain the consent electronically, where the form of signature is recognized as a valid signature under applicable law. The FTC exempted certain calls from this consent requirement, as discussed in greater detail below. Simply said, TED is your “personal dialing assistant” with benefits!
