FCC Robocall Consent Rule Effective April 4; Robotext NPRM Comments Due That Day

Effective April 4, an FCC rule states that a one-time text message that confirms a request to revoke consent from receiving any further calls or text messages and that contains no marketing information, doesn't violate commission rules strengthening consumers' ability to make such a request, said a notice for Tuesday's Federal Register. A rule on delivery restrictions is delayed indefinitely. Commissioners adopted the item in February along with an NPRM seeking comment on wireless providers' ability to send robocalls or robotexts to subscribers (see 2402160048). Comments on the NPRM are due April 4, replies by April 19, in docket 02-278, said a separate notice for Tuesday's FR.
