Voice Broadcasting can be a great technology for many applications. It has been an increasingly popular tool and now for many years and for good reason. Imagine being able to deliver a message to a large number of people without having to pay the cost of TV actors, and have the ability to send a message to a live pickup front to a different message to an answering machine. Add to this the marriage of voice interactive technology in which a receiver is able to press a number key and be transferred to a live agent or place an order for a product or service. It is the latest technology in terms of profitability and flexibility for vendors, consultants politicians, municipalities, collection organizations, and many others.
But powerful tools in the hands of fools create a great danger. See Bob Tuttle and Mark Edwards for details. His company "The broadcast team (also known as OTC), recently was fined $ 1,000,000 for the FTC and the Department Justice for violations of the Telemarketing Sales Rule (TSR) in the course of using "voice broadcasting" to reach millions of consumers U.S. using auto-dialers and prerecorded messages.
The Federal Trade Commission announced today that the company Edwards Tuttle and was accused of making tens of millions of illegal automated telemarketing calls and had agreed to pay $ 1 million civil penalty under an agreement reached with the agency and the Department of Justice U.S.. Had violated the Telemarketing Sales Rule (TSR) in the course of using "voice broadcasting" to reach millions of consumers U.S. using auto-dialers and prerecorded messages.
A federal district court action brought by the DOJ, on behalf of the Commission alleges that Florida-telemarketer based automated phone dialing service called and then illegally hung over 64 million people – and asked for more than a million numbers contained in the National Do Not Call (DNC) registry. Lloyd Gomberg, Senior Vice President of Freedom Telework Inc. said "The law is very clear, even when diffusion of the voice is legally permissible call list must still be washed against the FTC and various States Do Not Call lists.
Gomberg also noted that freedom of telework vocal customers were also informed that it is unlawful to send audio messages to emergency telephone lines. For example, 911 numbers, lines of hospital medical services, physicians, health centers, poison control centers, fire agencies or law enforcement. Another basic rule according to Gomberg: Do not send unsolicited audio messages to those who incur expenses. For example: beepers, pagers or cell phones unless you have permission.
Gomberg noted that when the voice broadcasting is used in a live application where the goal is to reproduce the voice recording only to respond to the machines and the agents have to talk with consumers when they make the rules of "abandonment" are still in place. The TSR limits telemarketers use "of The recorded messages by requiring that calls answered by a person connected with a representative within two seconds. This restriction of "call abandonment" hanging or playing a recording when someone answers applies to telemarketing calls to request the sale of goods or services, and telemarketing calls nonprofit-for apply for charitable contributions
According to Gomberg, the 11 basic rules for the dissemination of the voice are:
1. Consumers must consent prior, or
2. Business relationship, or
3. Tax-exempt organizations
4. Do Not Call List regulations apply when issuing voice is admissible
5. Customer may request, in addition to your company Do Not Call List
6. Existing business relationship expires 18 months after a purchase or 90 days after an inquiry or application
7. Collections permissible to use this application to:, Mortgage Refinance with EBR
8. Eligible for benefits, not the telemarketers working on behalf of retained profits and Charities seeking donations
9. Permissible for political campaigns, initiatives
10. Some states have banned markers voice: Freedom Telework can not advise on these matters, clients are responsible to consult with an attorney.
11. Emissions information and free offers are prohibited unless the organization is allowed to transmit
In the case of transmission equipment, the FTC's Telemarketing Sales Rule (TSR) was violated in the course of using "voice broadcasting" to call millions of U.S. consumers using auto-dialers and prerecorded messages. Many of the OTC numbers in the registry is called the DNC, make the calls themselves unlawful. The FTC also charged that TBT failed to pay for access to the numbers on the DNC Registry in many cases. TBT had argued that the TSR does not apply to the delivery of prerecorded messages and should not apply to your plan use prerecorded messages to solicit funds on behalf of a charitable organization. But in relation to a case pending in the same court, U.S. District Judge Anne Conway OTC legal arguments rejected in April. The court ruled that TBT is necessary to comply with the TSR, and OTC exemption from the requirements of the TSR frustrate the FTC "in achieving its goal of protecting the privacy of residential consumers."
Gomberg said: "This technology is powerful and incisive, just make sure you consult a lawyer and know that you are on firm legal ground before proceeding to a campaign. "
