Covered consumer telephonic sales calls to residential, mobile, or paging numbers: 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. local time.

The telephonic-sales-call definition excludes B2B contacts. It also lists exclusions for requests, qualifying purchases, existing customers, written consent, polling, debt, and noncommercial calls. Confirm that an exclusion actually applies before changing the schedule.

Covered telephone solicitation to a person's residence: 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., called person's local time.

The definitions exclude merchant-to-merchant calls, express requests, debt collection, and specified established business relationships. The statute concerns consumer goods or services. This estimate applies the residential window to consumer calls until the caller confirms an exclusion.

Telephone solicitation covered by Maryland's definition: 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., recipient local time.

The exemptions in § 14-4502(a)(1), including qualifying B2B contacts, apply to subsection (a). They do not state an exemption from the hours restriction in subsection (c). The definition covers organized telephone campaigns to Maryland residents; confirm whether a call is within that definition.

Covered unsolicited consumer calls to residential numbers: after 9 a.m. and before 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday; after noon and before 9 p.m. Sunday.

The definition concerns consumer goods, services, or credit. Express requests, calls about existing debts or contracts, and established business relationships are excluded. The checker waits until 9:01 a.m. or 12:01 p.m. to respect the statute's 'after' wording. A business audience alone does not establish an exclusion for a residential line.

Telephone solicitation to a residential or cellular telephone without prior express consent: 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. local time. Sundays and legal holidays are closed.

The cellular-phone provision can cover business recipients. Section 13-25a-111 specifies industry exclusions. Prior express consent and other scope questions need separate review. This estimate does not assume an established business relationship removes the hours rule. The reviewed calendar ends December 31, 2026; check additional holiday proclamations.

Covered telephone solicitation: 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., recipient local time.
