Synopsis 

On January 12, 2009, Edwards filed a 

petition for an expedited clarification 

and declaratory ruling regarding the 

Commission’s rules under the TCPA. 

Specifically, Edwards asks the 

Commission to clarify whether a 

creditor may place autodialed or 

prerecorded message calls to a 

telephone number associated with 

wireless service that was provided to 

the creditor initially as a telephone 

number associated with landline 

service. Section 64.1200(a)(1)(iii) of the 

Commission’s rules prohibits the 

initiation of ‘‘any telephone call (other 

than a call made for emergency 

purposes or made with the prior express 

consent of the called party) using an 

automatic telephone dialing system or 

an artificial or prerecorded voice, to any 

telephone number assigned to * * * 

cellular telephone service. * * *’’ The 

Commission concluded that such calls 

to wireless numbers that are provided 

by the called party to a creditor in 

connection with an existing debt are 

permissible as calls made with the 

‘‘prior express consent’’ of the called 

party. 

Edwards asserts that the 

Commission’s ruling permits debt 

collection calls to a wireless telephone 

number only when the consumer, in 

that instance, provides the wireless 

telephone number to the creditor. 

Edwards contends that when the 

creditor is initially provided a 

‘‘landline’’ telephone number, and 

subsequently that ‘‘landline’’ number is 

ported to a cellular telephone, an 

established business relationship, ‘‘prior 

express consent,’’ or other exemption 

from section 227(b)(1)(A)(iii) of the 

TCPA is not created. Edwards concludes 

that compliance with the TCPA requires 

that the consumer must have provided 

the creditor a telephone number 

assigned to a wireless service in order 

for calls to the wireless telephone 

number to be permissible. Accordingly, 

the Commission seeks comment on 

Edwards’s petition.
