Two laws protect South Dakota residents

A federal law covers everyone — and South Dakota’s own rules can add to it.

Federal law

The TCPA

The Telephone Consumer Protection Act — the nationwide law behind every claim.

  • Protects everyone in South Dakota, no matter the state rules.
  • Bars autodialed or prerecorded calls and texts to your cell without consent.
  • $500–$1,500 per call, stacking with every violation.
  • You can sue personally — you don’t wait on the government.
South Dakota law

South Dakota Telemarketing law (SDCL ch. 37-30A)

How South Dakota adds to your protection.

  • Calling hours: 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.; no Sunday calls.
  • Do Not Call: Uses the national registry.
  • Applies on top of the federal TCPA — sometimes with extra penalties.

How the law works in South Dakota

If you live in South Dakota and robocalls or telemarketing texts won’t stop, federal law protects you. The Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) is the main federal robocall law. It limits autodialed calls, prerecorded or “robo” voice messages, and marketing texts sent without your permission. The TCPA lets you recover $500 to $1,500 for every illegal call or text, and because the penalty is per call, the total grows fast when a company contacts you repeatedly.

South Dakota adds state protections too. Its Telemarketing law (SDCL ch. 37-30A) bars unsolicited sales calls before 9 a.m. or after 9 p.m. and prohibits them entirely on Sundays, and it limits automatic dialing systems. For example, it blocks auto-dialed calls to cell phones and emergency lines. For the do-not-call list, the South Dakota Attorney General relies on the federal National Do Not Call Registry, so registering free at donotcall.gov is the way to opt out. A call that ignores these rules may break state law on top of the TCPA.

South Dakota robocall FAQs

Can I sue for robocalls in South Dakota?

Yes. The federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) lets South Dakota residents sue for illegal robocalls, prerecorded messages, and spam texts, with damages of $500 to $1,500 per call. South Dakota’s Telemarketing law (SDCL ch. 37-30A) adds state rules on top. A free review can tell you whether your calls qualify.

Can telemarketers call South Dakota residents on Sundays?

No. Under South Dakota’s Telemarketing law (SDCL ch. 37-30A), telemarketers may not place unsolicited sales calls on Sundays, and on other days they may not call before 9 a.m. or after 9 p.m. in your local time. A Sunday solicitation call, or one outside those hours, may break state law and add to a federal TCPA claim.

What are South Dakota’s calling hours?

Under South Dakota law, telemarketers may not place unsolicited sales calls before 9 a.m. or after 9 p.m. in your local time, and they may not call at all on Sundays. A solicitation call outside that window may break state law, so it is worth writing down the date and time.
