| yesterday | comment | added | Tom | @reffu Two separate numbers. I have worried that the law has that loophole, but I don't recall ever seeing any authoritative statement on the matter. Here's hoping someone sets us straight on that point. | |
| yesterday | comment | added | JBH | Perhaps the Flag Code (4 U.S.C. § 5 et seq, which I know is voluntary) is the only less enforceable law than the TCPA. I've had better results blocking numbers on my phone than reporting per the TCPA, which I did for years without substantial benefit. | |
| yesterday | comment | added | reffu | Was it the same phone number texting you, or a different one from the same campaign? I can't find the article right now, but I remembered seeing something saying that if it's individual volunteers texting, other volunteers in the same group can still text you after you sent STOP to the first one, though I don't know how accurate that is, legally | |
