Unwanted calls and texts in Indiana: what the rules say

Indiana maintains a state Do Not Call list for residents. The Attorney General says most telemarketers may not call or text a number on that list, subject to statutory exceptions. Separate Indiana laws address prerecorded or automated voice calls.

Where the rules draw a line

The list is updated quarterly. Exceptions include certain charitable, newspaper, insurance, real-estate, and qualifying existing-business contacts. A registered number does not stop every type of call or text.

What this can mean for a consumer

The Attorney General handles complaints and enforcement under the telephone-solicitation law. The cited sources do not promise a consumer payment for each contact; any separate caller-ID claim has different requirements.

Keep the details

Save the full text thread, call log, voicemails, dates and times, the company or product named, and any reply asking the sender to stop. Those details can help show what happened; they do not establish by themselves that a law was violated.
