Calling 308 numbers legally

Nebraska is stricter than federal law. Nebraska allows telephone solicitations and autodialer calls only 8 a.m.-9 p.m. Monday-Saturday and 1 p.m.-9 p.m. on Sundays and legal holidays. Because the window follows the called party's local time, a 308 number is governed by Nebraska rules no matter where you are dialing from.

Ringless voicemail sits under the same rules as a live call, which is why TCPA compliance matters before you drop to a list. To check a whole list rather than one code, the phone number formatter tags every number with its state so you can segment sends by time zone.
