Calling 503 numbers legally

Oregon is stricter than federal law. As of January 1, 2026, Oregon permits telephone solicitations only between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. local time: an 8 p.m. cutoff stricter than federal. Because the window follows the called party's local time, a 503 number is governed by Oregon rules no matter where you are dialing from. Oregon also caps solicitations at three per 24 hours.

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.
