    On November 21, 2022, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
    released an order concerning "ringless voicemails" and the Telephone
    Consumer Protection Act (TCPA). In this ruling, the FCC confirmed that
    the delivery of "ringless voicemails" to wireless phones constitute a
    “call made using an artificial or prerecorded voice” such that it
    requires consumer consent pursuant to TCPA § 227(b)(1)(A)(iii).

    Section 227(b) of the TCPA prohibits making calls to a cellphone
    “(other than a call made for emergency purposes or made with the prior express consent of the called party) using any automatic telephone
    dialing system or an artificial or prerecorded voice.”
