Rhode Island robocall law at a glance
The federal TCPA protects everyone in Rhode Island. Here’s how it works with the state’s own rules.
Two laws protect Rhode Island residents
A federal law covers everyone — and Rhode Island’s own rules can add to it.
The TCPA
The Telephone Consumer Protection Act — the nationwide law behind every claim.
- Protects everyone in Rhode Island, 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.
Rhode Island Telephone Sales Solicitation Act (R.I. Gen. Laws ch. 5-61)
How Rhode Island adds to your protection.
- Calling hours: Mon to Fri 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.; Sat 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. (no Sunday/holiday calls).
- Do Not Call: Uses the national registry.
- Applies on top of the federal TCPA — sometimes with extra penalties.
How the law works in Rhode Island
If you live in Rhode Island 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.
Rhode Island adds its own state protections. The Telephone Sales Solicitation Act (R.I. Gen. Laws ch. 5-61) regulates sales calls and restricts automatic dialing-announcing devices unless you have consented. Its calling hours are among the strictest in the country: solicitation calls are generally allowed only Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., with no calls on Sundays or state and federal holidays. For the do-not-call list, the state relies on the federal procedures, so registering free at donotcall.gov is the way to opt out.

Rhode Island robocall FAQs
Can I sue for robocalls in Rhode Island?
Yes. The federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) lets Rhode Island residents sue for illegal robocalls, prerecorded messages, and spam texts, with damages of $500 to $1,500 per call. Rhode Island’s Telephone Sales Solicitation Act (R.I. Gen. Laws ch. 5-61) adds state rules on top. A free review can tell you whether your calls qualify.
Does Rhode Island restrict robocalls and auto-dialers?
Yes. Under the Telephone Sales Solicitation Act (R.I. Gen. Laws ch. 5-61), a telephone solicitor generally may not use an automatic dialing-announcing device to play a recorded sales message unless you have consented, or a live person first gets your permission. Calls that ignore that rule may break state law and add to a federal TCPA claim.
What are Rhode Island’s calling hours?
Rhode Island has some of the narrowest calling hours in the country. Solicitation calls are generally allowed only Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., with no calls on Sundays or state and federal holidays. A solicitation call outside that window may break state law, so it is worth writing down the date and time.
Do I need a Rhode Island lawyer for a robocall case?
Not necessarily. The TCPA is a federal law, so attorney Max Morgan, Esq. represents Rhode Island residents nationwide and brings in local counsel where a court requires it. He offers a free review of your calls and texts, and you pay no fee unless you recover.
