QVD Launches a Standalone Non-ATDS Phone for TCPA Compliance

Aurora, NE — Quality Voice & Data, Inc. (QVD) has launched a standalone non-ATDS "Compliance Phone," designed to ensure compliance with Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) rules for placing calls to wireless numbers. Specifically, sellers using this device don't need prior express written consent (PEWC) to call their customers, former customers, or prospects. The Compliance Phone debuted at the PACE TCPA Summit in Washington, DC.

"We have been offering enhanced telecom solutions for about eight years, and we identified a need for a very simple, easy-to-implement telephone that sits on a desk and lets the user place calls to any type of number, including wireless numbers, in a way that's compliant with the TCPA," said QVD's President. "There are many dialer and PBX solutions available, but nothing designed for a single user, or for single users distributed across disparate locations."

With TCPA class action lawsuits on the rise, and the TCPA's private right of action allowing an individual to sue for up to $1,500 per call, every organization placing calls to current customers, former customers, or prospects needs a compliant way to do it.

"Backed by a 288-page legal opinion letter, the Compliance Phone provides our customers with assurance that it's absolutely compliant with the TCPA as a non-ATDS device. We believe class action lawyers will simply move on when they learn the Compliance Phone was used to place the calls," QVD's President added. The opinion letter comes from TCPA attorney Michele Shuster of MacMurray, Petersen & Shuster LLP, based on a detailed technical review by IP attorney Christine McCarthy of Barnes & Thornburg LLP.

The Compliance Phone includes call recording, call tracking, and call transfer, and is interoperable with patented call-blocking technology.
