Should telemarketing calls be illegal after business hours?

Question

I have to write a speech for Debate and I want to know your thorough opinions on if telemarketing calls should be illegal after business hours.

Answer 1

Any phone solicitation outside of the hours of 8am-9pm are already illegal. Restricting telemarketers to standard business hours (9am-5pm) would keep their annoyances at bay, but would put a crimp on other, legal tele-solicitation (debt collectors, surveyors, donation seekers, etc.) who need to be allowed to contact customers (read: targets) at hours that they are likely to be home.

Personally, I think all phone solicitation should be illegal, regardless of who the calls are from. But that would put us back in the era of door-to-door sales and haughty repomen. At least I can unplug my phone when I want peace...

Answer 2

There are set hours when telemarketers are allowed tocall.
I think its same as working hours in the morning 8 or 9, and not after 8 P.M.

And I think no more sundays either.

In your debate dont forget to add that 'do not call registry'

Answer 3

There are some laws on telemarketing call times. They cannot call before 8am or after 9pm.

Answer 4

I hate telemarketers, but unforunately after business hours are when most people can be reached at home

Answer 5

i dont thing they should call at all!!!

Answer 6
