Verizon Wireless Wins Bans Against Cellphone Solicitations
An AP newswire article via Bonnie Pfister, via USA Today, reports that:
Verizon Wireless has won two legal skirmishes against telemarketers who made unwanted sales calls to its customers, and said it has launched a new offensive against unsolicited text messages.
The Bedminster[New Jersey]-based subsidiary of Verizon Communications announced Friday that judges in New Jersey and California have banned a telemarketer from using autodialers or prerecorded messages in calls to Verizon cellphone users.
Verizon Wireless, with 49.3 million customers nationwide, cited the federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act and state laws prohibiting such cellphone contacts.
