So I can't dial my own number blocks for auditing? I do this manually right now.... dial 1 number, dial another on and on it gets very tedious and sometimes you loose your place. Approx every 2 months per number. The companies using these numbers have very specific reasons for requiring these audits, but franky I don't think its needed.
AFAIK in my state doing that is legal because: 1) Its not telemarketing 2) its with the intent to communicate (if someone answers an 3) its for a legit business purpose, so its not harassment 4) The owner of the numbers (my company) and the users of the number (the clients) have expressly authorized this, although the law does not mention authorization I think this would be justification enough. I am not familar with any FTC / federal regulations since we don't telemarket I didn't think they were relevant but you do remind me when anything crosses a state line it can usually be considered "interstate commerce"... any resource you might have for interstate phone calling laws? I was thinking VCDial too... let me give that a try I've always wanted to mess with it anyways. I think I could load all the number ranges at one time also instead of doing one range at a time like I was thinking. And yes this is not "war dialing" because I looked up the definition and it seems "war dialing" is just scanning for modems, which is not the case here.
