Federal hours apply: 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM in the called person's time zone. Some guides list stricter local rules we could not confirm against the statute, so check with counsel for high-volume calling.

DO-NOT-CALL REGISTRY

Follows the National DNC Registry.

PENALTIES

Federal TCPA damages of $500 per call, up to $1,500 when willful, apply to calls into the state. State consumer protection laws can add their own penalties.

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR OUTBOUND AT SCALE

West Virginia is a one-party consent state for recording calls under W. Va. Code ยง 62-1D-3. For outbound at scale, the main work is honoring the federal Do Not Call Registry, keeping an internal do-not-call list, and calling only within the allowed hours in the recipient's time zone.
