If your business makes outbound calls or sends text messages across multiple states, it's easy to assume that following the federal TCPA calling hours is enough. However, 26 states have their own calling time restrictions, which means a call that seems compliant in one state could create compliance issues in another. For business owners, sales teams, and contact centers, keeping track of these rules can quickly become complicated.

Before launching your next campaign, it's worth taking a closer look at the phone numbers you're contacting. Searchbug’s Reachable Phone Validator API can help you stay ahead of these risks by verifying phone numbers, checking DNC status, and identifying potential TCPA-related risks. More importantly, it provides key insights like location, state, and timezone so your team knows exactly when it’s legally safe to place calls.

When you have accurate timezone and location data built into your calling process, you reduce the chance of calling outside permitted hours across different states. That means fewer compliance risks, fewer costly mistakes, and a more controlled outbound strategy.
