§ 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 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.
