Illinois robocall law at a glance
The federal TCPA protects everyone in Illinois. Here’s how it works with the state’s own rules.
Two laws protect Illinois residents
A federal law covers everyone — and Illinois’s own rules can add to it.
The TCPA
The Telephone Consumer Protection Act — the nationwide law behind every claim.
- Protects everyone in Illinois, 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.
Illinois Telephone Solicitations Act (815 ILCS 413) & Automatic Telephone Dialers Act (815 ILCS 305)
How Illinois adds to your protection.
- Calling hours: 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. (live callers).
- Do Not Call: Uses the national registry.
- Applies on top of the federal TCPA — sometimes with extra penalties.
How the law works in Illinois
The federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) protects everyone in Illinois. In plain English, the TCPA is the national law that makes it illegal for companies to robocall, robotext, or auto-dial your cell phone, or to call any number on the Do Not Call list, without your written permission. When a company breaks that rule, you can collect $500 per illegal call or text, and up to $1,500 per call if the violation was willful. Those amounts stack: each separate call or text is its own violation, so the total can grow quickly.
Illinois adds its own rules through two statutes. The Telephone Solicitations Act (815 ILCS 413) bars live-operator sales calls between 9 p.m. and 8 a.m., meaning calls are only allowed from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m., and the Automatic Telephone Dialers Act (815 ILCS 305) puts even tighter limits on autodialed calls. Illinois does not run a separate state Do Not Call list; the national Do Not Call Registry is what protects Illinois numbers, and companies must stop calling once you ask them to.

Illinois robocall FAQs
Can I sue for robocalls in Illinois?
Yes. The federal TCPA lets Illinois residents sue for $500 to $1,500 per illegal robocall, robotext, or auto-dialed call to a cell phone, and per call to any number on the Do Not Call Registry. Illinois state law adds its own telemarketing protections. Hold on to your call logs and voicemails. They are the proof your case is built on.
What is the Illinois Automatic Telephone Dialers Act?
It is a state law (815 ILCS 305) that regulates autodialers, the machines that dial numbers automatically and play recorded messages. Along with the Telephone Solicitations Act (815 ILCS 413), it restricts when and how companies can use automated technology to call Illinois consumers. These state rules sit on top of the federal TCPA, so a single illegal call may violate more than one law.
What are Illinois’s calling hours?
Live-operator sales calls are only allowed between 8 a.m. and 9 p.m. in Illinois; calling between 9 p.m. and 8 a.m. is prohibited, and autodialed calls face even stricter limits. A call placed outside those hours may also break the federal TCPA.
Do I need an Illinois lawyer for a robocall case?
Not specifically. The TCPA is a federal law, so you do not need an attorney based in Illinois. Max Morgan represents Illinois residents and brings in local counsel wherever a case requires it. Your review is free, and there is no fee unless you recover.
