What is the name of your state? CA

Please tell me the correct forum if this is not the one for telemarketing question.

I am starting a service for small business and I need to advertise the service to small business.

1. May I call any business number? From the National Do Not Call Registry it says "Business-to-business calls and faxes are not covered by the National Do Not Call Registry".

2. May I send fax to any business fax number? Again from the above it seems ok for business-to-business telemarketing fax. But I want to be sure.

Thanks!

Absent some other possible restrictions, as you have correctly noted the 'do not call' list is to protect individuals from abuse, not businesses.

May I send fax to any business fax number?
No.

Sorry I wasn't very clear about my question. What I need to do is to use some auto dialer to leave a voice message(advertisement) to small business which I believe will greatly benefit them. Is it legal?

No.

Where can I find the regulation prohibiting fax to business number?

Thanks for the help!

To make it simple, for any business number I find from yellow page,

1. is it legal to personally call any business number?
2. is it legal to use auto dialer to leave a message to any business number?
3. is it legal to send a fax to any business number?

It will be great if you can point me to the source to your answers.

Thanks a lot!
