§ 15-775C.3. Prior express written consent required – Modification

of caller identification information or voice of the caller.

A. A person may not make or knowingly allow a commercial

telephonic sales call to be made if such call involves an automated

system for the selection or dialing of telephone numbers or the

playing of a recorded message when a connection is completed to a

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 15. Contracts

number called without the prior express written consent of the

called party.

B. It shall be unlawful for any person who makes a commercial

telephonic sales call or causes a commercial telephonic sales call

to be made to fail to transmit or cause not to be transmitted the

originating telephone number and, when made available by the

telephone solicitor's carrier, the name of the telephone solicitor

to any caller identification service in use by a recipient of a

commercial telephonic sales call. However, it is not a violation to

substitute, for the name and telephone number used in or billed for

making the call, the name of the seller on behalf of which a

commercial telephonic sales call is placed and the seller's customer

service telephone number, which is answered during regular business

hours. If a telephone number is made available through a caller

identification service as a result of a commercial telephonic sales

call, the solicitor must ensure that telephone number is capable of

receiving telephone calls and must connect the original call

recipient, upon calling such number, to the telephone solicitor or

to the seller on behalf of which a commercial telephonic sales call

was placed.

C. It shall be unlawful for any person who makes a commercial

telephonic sales call or causes a commercial telephonic sales call

to be made to intentionally alter the voice of the caller in an

attempt to disguise or conceal the identity of the caller in order

to defraud, confuse, or financially or otherwise injure the

recipient of a commercial telephonic sales call or in order to

obtain personal information from the recipient of a commercial

telephonic sales call, which may be used in a fraudulent or unlawful

manner.

D. There is a rebuttable presumption that a commercial

telephonic sales call made to any area code in this state is made to

an Oklahoma resident or to a person in this state at the time of the

call.
