Do Not Call protection in South Dakota

South Dakota formally adopted the FTC's National Do Not Call Registry as its own state list rather than running a separate one, so a single free registration at donotcall.gov covers you. State authorities can still enforce against telemarketers who ignore it, in addition to any federal penalty.

Whatever your state does, the federal National Do Not Call Registry applies, and the Telephone Consumer Protection Act gives you a private right of action against certain unlawful calls. Report unwanted calls at the FCC complaint centre and fraud at ReportFraud.ftc.gov.

Does South Dakota have its own Do Not Call list?

Where do the calls reported in South Dakota come from?

The FCC records the state the person filing the complaint was in, not where the caller was. Because caller ID is easily spoofed, a call reported in South Dakota may have been placed from anywhere in the world and may have displayed a South Dakota number that belongs to an uninvolved person. Area code alone tells you nothing reliable about a caller's location.

What kind of calls are reported most in South Dakota?

Prerecorded Voice is the most-reported category in South Dakota, accounting for 723 of the 1,632 complaints (44%). Live Voice is second with 605.
