Alabama robocall law at a glance
The federal TCPA protects everyone in Alabama. The state adds a telemarketer licensing law, a Public Service Commission do-not-call rule, and a calling-hours rule that bans sales calls on Sundays and holidays.
Two laws protect Alabama residents
A federal law covers everyone, and Alabama’s telemarketing laws add licensing, a state register and a calling-hours rule on top of it.
The TCPA
The Telephone Consumer Protection Act, the nationwide law behind every claim.
- Protects everyone in Alabama, no matter the state rules.
- Bars autodialed or prerecorded calls and texts to your cell without consent.
- $500 to $1,500 per call, stacking with every violation.
- You can sue personally, you don’t wait on the government.
Alabama Telemarketing Act (Ala. Code § 8-19A) and Telephone Solicitations chapter (Ala. Code § 8-19C)
How Alabama adds to your protection.
- Licensing: anyone making commercial telephone solicitations in Alabama must hold a license from the Attorney General. Operating without one is a felony under the Act.
- Calling hours: Public Service Commission rules bar solicitation calls before 8 a.m. or after 8 p.m., and bar them entirely on Sundays and holidays.
- Do Not Call: Ala. Code § 8-19C authorizes a state register under the Public Service Commission. Calling a listed number is a violation with civil penalties.
- Caller ID: solicitors must identify themselves and may not block caller identification.
How the law works in Alabama
The federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) is the law that puts money in the hands of Alabama residents. It bars autodialed or prerecorded calls and texts to your cell phone without your consent, and it bars telemarketing calls to numbers on the Do Not Call Registry. Each illegal call or text is worth $500 in statutory damages, and up to $1,500 when the violation is willful or knowing. The amounts stack, so thirty calls over a month is thirty separate violations.
Alabama’s own rules sit alongside the TCPA rather than replacing it. The Alabama Telemarketing Act, Ala. Code § 8-19A-1 et seq., requires commercial telemarketers to be licensed by the Attorney General’s office. A separate chapter, Ala. Code § 8-19C, authorizes a state do-not-call register administered by the Alabama Public Service Commission, and the PSC’s telephone solicitation rules add the calling-hours limit: no solicitation calls before 8 a.m. or after 8 p.m., and none at all on Sundays or holidays. The state law is enforced by the Attorney General’s Consumer Interest Division and the PSC. It does not give you a private lawsuit the way the TCPA does, which is why the federal statute is the engine of a robocall case and the state rules are supporting evidence that the caller ignored more than one law.
Federal TCPA cases for Alabama residents are filed in the Northern District of Alabama, which covers Birmingham and Huntsville, the Middle District, which covers Montgomery, or the Southern District, which covers Mobile and the Gulf Coast. Callers spoofing a 205, 256, 334 or 251 number to look local are a familiar pattern across the state, and the spoofing does not change who is liable: the company that placed or directed the call answers for it.
Cases are handled nationwide under the federal TCPA. Local counsel is associated where Alabama rules require it. Max Morgan, Esq. is licensed in Pennsylvania and represents consumers across the country under this federal law. He reviews your call log at no cost, and you pay no attorney’s fee unless you recover. If you are unsure whether your calls count, the two-minute case questionnaire is the fastest way to find out.
Getting illegal calls in Alabama? Do this.
- Keep every call and voicemail.Screenshots of your call log, saved voicemails and text threads are the core evidence. Do not delete anything, even the calls that annoyed you most.
- Note the number, the company and the time.A 205 or 334 number that turns out to be spoofed is still useful. If a call came on a Sunday or after 8 p.m., write that down: it breaks Alabama’s calling-hours rule.
- Tell them to stop, once, if it feels safe.Calls that continue after a clear stop request can support the higher $1,500 willful figure. Our page on calls that keep coming after you said stop explains why.
- File with the state and the feds.Submit the Alabama Attorney General’s online consumer complaint form (alabamaag.gov/consumer-complaint) or call the Consumer Interest Division at 1-800-392-5658. Register at donotcall.gov if you have not, and report the call at donotcall.gov and fcc.gov. See how to report a robocall for the step-by-step.

Alabama robocall FAQs
Does Alabama have its own Do Not Call list?
On paper, yes. Ala. Code § 8-19C authorizes a state register administered by the Alabama Public Service Commission. In practice the PSC directs residents to the national registry at donotcall.gov, so register there. Once your number has been on the national list for 31 days, telemarketing calls to it are TCPA violations you can sue over.
Which court handles a robocall lawsuit for an Alabama resident?
TCPA cases are usually filed in federal court. Alabama has three districts: the Northern District (Birmingham, Huntsville, Tuscaloosa), the Middle District (Montgomery, Dothan) and the Southern District (Mobile). Where a case is filed depends on where you live and where the caller does business, and some claims resolve before any filing.
Do I need an Alabama lawyer for a robocall case?
Not necessarily. The TCPA is federal, so an attorney does not have to be licensed in Alabama to represent you under it. Max Morgan is licensed in Pennsylvania, handles TCPA matters nationwide, and associates Alabama counsel when a court or state rule requires it. Your review is free, and there is no attorney’s fee unless you recover.
Does Alabama law add anything to a federal claim?
It adds context and leverage more than dollars. The Alabama Telemarketing Act requires a state license, the PSC rules limit calls to 8 a.m. through 8 p.m. and ban them on Sundays and holidays, and Ala. Code § 8-19C bars calls to the state register. Those violations are reported to the Attorney General or the PSC. The per-call statutory damages come from the TCPA.
How long do I have to bring a robocall claim in Alabama?
The federal TCPA carries a four-year limitations period, but deadlines depend on the claim and the facts, and older calls are harder to prove as records disappear. Talk to us before assuming there is time. A free review takes a few minutes and tells you whether your calls qualify.
