Comments:
I think this is a terrible idea: 1. Any pre-recorded message from any business should not contain critical information (eg we will close your account unless..., you owe us money because...., etc) Thus such messages are serve exactly the same purpose and have the same effect as non-prerecorded messages, thus there is no reason to grant this exception 2. The whole point of the do not call list is to prevent unwanted phone calls. As pre-recorded messages are just as if not more annoying as non pre-recorded messages, such an excpetions defeats the purpose of the do not call list 3. How are such prerecorded messages any different from email spam? They are not. Why should the do not call list make a specific exception specifically for phone spam? This makes no sense.
