Robocall Lawyer in South Carolina
South Carolina is a strong state for robocall victims: its 2018 Telephone Privacy Protection Act is a “mini-TCPA” that lets residents sue for $1,000 or more per violating call on top of their federal rights. If illegal calls or texts are hitting your phone in South Carolina, you may be owed $500 to $1,500 per call.

South Carolina robocall law at a glance
The federal TCPA protects everyone in South Carolina. Here’s how it works with the state’s own rules.
Two laws protect South Carolina residents
A federal law covers everyone — and South Carolina’s own rules can add to it.
The TCPA
The Telephone Consumer Protection Act — the nationwide law behind every claim.
- Protects everyone in South Carolina, 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 Carolina Telephone Privacy Protection Act (S.C. Code ch. 37-21)
How South Carolina adds to your protection.
- Calling hours: 8 a.m. to 9 p.m..
- Do Not Call: Uses the national registry.
- Applies on top of the federal TCPA — sometimes with extra penalties.
How the law works in South Carolina
If you live in South Carolina 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 Carolina goes further with its own “mini-TCPA.” The South Carolina Telephone Privacy Protection Act (S.C. Code ch. 37-21) gives consumers a private right to sue and can award $1,000 per violation (and up to $5,000 for a willful violation), plus attorney’s fees and costs. The Act bars solicitation calls to numbers on the federal National Do Not Call Registry, requires opt-out requests to be honored for at least five years, and limits solicitation calls to the hours of 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. local time. Registering free at donotcall.gov is the way to opt out, and a call that ignores these rules may break state law on top of the TCPA.

South Carolina robocall FAQs
Can I sue for robocalls in South Carolina?
Yes. The federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) lets South Carolina residents sue for illegal robocalls, prerecorded messages, and spam texts, with damages of $500 to $1,500 per call. On top of that, South Carolina’s Telephone Privacy Protection Act (S.C. Code ch. 37-21) can award $1,000 per violation, or up to $5,000 if it was willful. A free review can tell you whether your calls qualify.
How much can I recover under South Carolina’s mini-TCPA?
The South Carolina Telephone Privacy Protection Act (S.C. Code ch. 37-21) lets a consumer recover statutory damages of $1,000 for each violation, and a court may increase that to as much as $5,000 per violation if it finds the violation was willful. The Act also allows recovery of reasonable attorney’s fees and court costs. These state amounts can stack with federal TCPA damages.
What are South Carolina’s calling hours?
Under the South Carolina Telephone Privacy Protection Act, solicitation calls are limited to the hours of 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. local time without your prior written consent. A solicitation call outside that window may break state law, so it is worth writing down the date and time.

Not necessarily. The TCPA is a federal law, so attorney Max Morgan, Esq. represents South Carolina 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.
