i remember this was a thing back in the day. Has anyone heard of companies dropping VM without a ring? A local RV dealer has been using it with some success?
Automotive professionals discuss ringless voicemail (RVM) technology and whether dealerships should adopt it for customer communications. While several services exist that enable direct-to-voicemail messaging, a critical legal warning emerges: the TCPA now covers these practices, creating legal liability for dealerships using them for unsolicited marketing. The thread concludes that RVM can be used legally only in specific, compliant scenarios—such as service follow-ups or declined repair notifications for existing customers—when integrated through compliant platforms like Talk Options.
Yeah that was just a matter of time. I never said they were ethical LOL.Use these services at your own peril because direct drop / ringless voicemail are now covered under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA)
