Press · Pennsylvania's 2026 texting law
For reporters
I started Amplify Automation in Warrington to set up missed-call text-back and AI call answering for contractors. I've read Pennsylvania's new texting law closely and I'm glad to explain what it means for small businesses that text their customers.
What I can speak to
Topics
- What Act 47 of 2026 (Senate Bill 992) changes for small businesses that text customers
- Which texts count as sales texts, and the quiet hours, holiday and opt-out rules
- Why home-service businesses miss calls, and what callers do next
- AI receptionists and automated text replies: what they do, and what they should disclose
I'm not a lawyer. What I share about the law is practical guidance, not legal advice.
The law in three facts
Three facts, with sources
Since October 18, 2026, Pennsylvania's telemarketing law has covered sales text messages as well as calls.
Sales calls and texts are limited to 9 AM to 7 PM, and barred on Sundays and legal holidays.
Fines run up to $1,000 per violation, or $3,000 when the person contacted is 60 or older.
