Massachusetts robocall law at a glance
The federal TCPA protects everyone in Massachusetts. Here’s how it works with the state’s own rules.
Two laws protect Massachusetts residents
A federal law covers everyone — and Massachusetts’s own rules can add to it.
The TCPA
The Telephone Consumer Protection Act — the nationwide law behind every claim.
- Protects everyone in Massachusetts, 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.
Massachusetts Telemarketing Solicitation law, M.G.L. c. 159C
How Massachusetts adds to your protection.
- Calling hours: 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. local time (M.G.L. c. 159C, § 3).
- Do Not Call: Yes, state list.
- Applies on top of the federal TCPA — sometimes with extra penalties.
How the law works in Massachusetts
The federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) protects Massachusetts residents from illegal robocalls, prerecorded messages, autodialed texts, and calls that ignore the Do Not Call list. The TCPA is a federal law that lets you sue the companies behind these calls for $500 per call or text, rising to $1,500 per call if the violation was willful or knowing. Because damages are counted per call, repeated unwanted robocalls can add up to a significant claim.
Massachusetts adds its own protections under M.G.L. c. 159C, which prohibits unsolicited sales calls to consumers on the state’s no-sales-solicitation-calls list, bans calls received between 8 p.m. and 8 a.m. local time, and restricts the use of recorded-message devices for sales calls. Massachusetts runs its own state Do Not Call list, and telemarketers must honor both that list and the National Do Not Call Registry. The state’s broad consumer-protection statute, M.G.L. c. 93A, can also apply to unfair or deceptive telemarketing.

Massachusetts robocall FAQs
Can I sue for robocalls in Massachusetts?
Yes. The federal TCPA lets Massachusetts residents sue over illegal robocalls, prerecorded messages, autodialed texts, and Do Not Call violations. You can recover $500 per call, or up to $1,500 per call when the violation was willful or knowing. Massachusetts’s own telemarketing law adds further protections on top of the federal rules.
Does Massachusetts have its own Do Not Call list?
Yes. Massachusetts maintains a state no-sales-solicitation-calls list under M.G.L. c. 159C. Telemarketers must honor both the Massachusetts list and the National Do Not Call Registry, so a call to a number on either list may break the law. Calls received between 8 p.m. and 8 a.m. local time are also prohibited.
What are Massachusetts’s calling hours?
Under M.G.L. c. 159C, § 3, telemarketers may not make an unsolicited sales call that would be received between 8 p.m. and 8 a.m. local time. In practice that means sales calls are limited to roughly 8 a.m. through 8 p.m. A call outside that window may violate Massachusetts law.
Do I need a Massachusetts lawyer for a robocall case?
Not necessarily. The TCPA is a federal law that applies nationwide, so you do not need a Massachusetts-based attorney to bring a federal robocall claim. Max Morgan, Esq., is licensed in Pennsylvania, handles TCPA claims for consumers across the country, and works with local counsel when a case calls for it. Your case review is free, and you pay no fee unless he recovers money for you.
