Jobix.AI - AI Sales Calls & Multi-Channel Automation Platform

Q: What makes an AI dialer TCPA compliant?

A TCPA compliant AI dialer enforces: prior express written consent before calling cell phones with automated/prerecorded messages, DNC list scrubbing (national + state + internal), time-of-day restrictions (no calls before 8 AM or after 9 PM local time), immediate opt-out handling, and caller ID display. It maintains audit trails of consent and all call activity.

Q: What are the penalties for TCPA violations?

TCPA violations carry penalties of $500 per unsolicited call, increasing to $1,500 per call for willful violations. Class action lawsuits regularly result in settlements of $10M-$100M+. Even small campaigns with compliance gaps can result in six-figure exposure.

Q: Can AI dialers call cell phones?

Yes, but only with prior express written consent for automated/prerecorded messages to cell phones. AI dialers like Jobix.AI include consent tracking systems that verify consent status before each call, ensuring compliance with TCPA cell phone regulations.

TCPA Compliant AI Dialer: Automate Outbound Calls Without Legal Risk

The opportunity is massive, the risk is real. AI dialers can make 500-2,000 calls per day, but a single TCPA violation costs $500-$1,500 per call. A 10,000-call campaign with compliance gaps could mean $5M-$15M in exposure.

The solution isn't to avoid AI calling. It's to use an AI dialer with compliance built into every layer.

Legal Reality: TCPA class actions resulted in $2.3 billion in settlements in 2025. The #1 defense is provable, documented compliance at the system level.

TCPA Compliance Requirements for AI Dialers

The Core Rules

| Requirement | What It Means | How AI Enforces It |

|-------------|--------------|-------------------|

| Prior Express Written Consent | Must have documented consent before automated calls to cell phones | Consent verification before each dial |

Consent Types (Critical Distinction)

| Consent Level | What's Allowed | Common Source |

|--------------|----------------|---------------|

| Prior Express Consent | Informational calls to cell phones | Existing business relationship |

| Prior Express Written Consent | Marketing/sales calls to cell phones | Web forms with TCPA disclosure |

Building a TCPA-Compliant AI Calling Program

Step 1: Consent Collection

The foundation of compliance. Build consent collection into every lead source:

Web Forms:

\\\


☐ By providing your phone number, you consent to receive
automated calls and texts from [Company] regarding [purpose].
Message frequency varies. Reply STOP to opt out.
Standard message and data rates may apply.

\\\

Key Requirements:

Clear and conspicuous disclosure
Not buried in terms of service
Separate from other consents
Checkbox must not be pre-checked
Must specify the caller and purpose

Step 2: List Management

Import consent records alongside contact data
Scrub against National DNC Registry (updated monthly minimum)
Scrub against state DNC lists where applicable
Maintain internal DNC with real-time updates
Check reassigned number database quarterly

Step 3: Campaign Configuration

Set calling hours per time zone
Configure maximum attempts per number (e.g., 3 per 30 days)
Enable recording in all states (simplifies two-party consent)
Set up opt-out keyword responses for SMS
Configure voicemail drop compliance (pre-recorded messages count)

The Cost of Non-Compliance vs. Compliance

| Scenario | Non-Compliant | Compliant (Jobix.AI) |

|----------|--------------|---------------------|

| 10,000-call campaign | $5M-$15M exposure | $0 exposure |

| Single class action | $10M-$100M settlement | $0 |

| FCC investigation | $10K-$1M fine | Clean record |

| Reputation damage | Significant | None |

| Annual compliance cost | Legal fees after the fact | $12,000-$18,000 (platform) |

The math: Compliance costs 0.1% of what a single violation could cost.
