Description
The rules for contacting wireless devices are complex and vary depending on the type of communication sent. Rules for sending a text message, for instance, are different from those for sending an email or placing a phone call. Federal regulations and DMA guidelines prohibit contacting wireless telephone numbers when called parties pay the charges. This session will discuss best practices, given these restrictions, for marketers to legally and effectively reach potential customers. Learn the following essential information for marketing in the mobile world:

LEARNER OUTCOMES:
  • Determining whether wireless numbers vs landline numbers are being called
  • Legal "Safe Harbor" for calling ported numbers/Penalties for violations
  • Obtaining express consent prior to communicating with consumers and businesses
