Calling 662 numbers legally

Mississippi is stricter than federal law. Mississippi permits solicitation calls only 8 a.m.-9 p.m. Monday through Saturday and prohibits them on Sundays. Because the window follows the called party's local time, a 662 number is governed by Mississippi 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.
