Section 2403 - Required consent

A commercial mobile service provider or any direct or indirect affiliate or agent of a provider or any other person doing business in this Commonwealth may not publish in a directory or provide for publication in a directory the name and telephone number of a mobile service customer in this Commonwealth without the express consent of the customer. The consent of a customer must be given by one of the following:

(1) In writing in a separate written document or in a separate distinct section within a written document that includes the customer's signature and the date.

(2) A distinct verbal confirmation from a person sufficiently identified as the customer.

(3) On an Internet website maintained by the commercial mobile service provider or an agent acting on behalf of the provider. The Internet website shall provide a separate screen or, if it is within another screen, there shall be a separate section of the screen that includes the disclosure.

(4) Other verifiable means utilizing the customer's handset.

A subscriber who provides express prior consent under this section may revoke that consent at any time. A commercial mobile service provider shall comply with the subscriber's request to opt out within a reasonable period of time, not to exceed 60 days. If under the subscriber's calling plan the subscriber may be billed for receiving unsolicited calls or text messages, the provider's form shall include a disclosure, which shall be unambiguous and legible, that by consenting to have the subscriber's dialing number sold or licensed as part of a list of subscribers or be included in a publicly available directory, the subscriber may incur additional charges for receiving unsolicited calls or text messages.
