Have you received unwanted text messages or unwanted calls on your cellular phone? The Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) of 1991 (47 USC §227) and other related laws prohibit businesses from advertising through unsolicited text messages or unwanted phone calls to your cellular phone. These advertisements are also known as “spam text,” “spam text messages,” “mobile spam,” “wireless spam,” “mspam,” “robo calls,” “nuisance calls” or “unsolicited calls.” The TCPA allows private actions by persons subjected to the prohibited conduct and authorizes recovery of up to $500 per violation or $1,500 if the violation was willful or knowing.
