With this being tthe Offline Section.....
Those of you using or considering a voice broadcaster,
make sure the businesses you are calling isn't a cell phone number.
At least here in the US.

I don't know how hard it is to scrub a list for cell phone numbers,
But you may want to read this:

    It's ALL illegal when calling residential numbers (including cells).

    It's legal when calling business numbers.

    Now that the election is over the robocalls have stopped. Were all of those voice broadcasts that I got for the previous 3 months illegal?

      No, there are exceptions to the law for charities and political calls. But for sales or cold calling, it's totally illegal.

        Hmm...what about for dating? Could have used this technology a number of years ago. My odds for a date night including an actual date would have improved greatly. On the other hand, there may have been some dudes showing up at my door too. (Not that there's anything wrong with that.)

        The question for businesses though, is what if their business number doubles as their personal cell? Like roofers, etc?

          I have done vb to attorneys.

          often someone would get mad, and say I am breaking the law.

          I tell them "you have business literature, website, linkedIn, business at home, etc...,, listing this #.
          never had anyone refute it.
