Calling 505 numbers legally
New Mexico is stricter than federal law. New Mexico prohibits telephone solicitation sales calls before 9 a.m. or after 9 p.m. local time: a 9 a.m. start, stricter than the federal 8 a.m. Because the window follows the called party's local time, a 505 number is governed by New Mexico 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.
