I believe there are different other scenario that won't be unethical or unlawful.Did they explicitly sign up for the sole purpose of having you call them? Even if they did I'd get mad if a robot called rather than a person, though a robot wouldn't get through my anti-spam CAPTCHA IVR. If a random website that required me to sign up to download some file started robo-calling me I'd be quite upset. - -Michael E. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJYlOndAAoJEFiya/FkvZyB7I8P/Rciy8x1fOCQsohj0tQnGEpI /2an11pVmp9jztDR51o0uExs+Ehr57drO3BFGbnZJ4Go9DsDDCpNCtdKnzxSaMqP FcYBINbOwQNCIfHa74ZWIAP3Tf1LqyX5Ffr8ktn/+4n2MzIbPuHL1W4DRS6Oovm5 kazrgwl0/u9v6qJOBRarfV4n6yqJWnQ5KaOxCnMoyeJx7kUDQXE9Ydfd38jj5JLl 9cRwVVUZ3FZ0zQ7jKyz/cqy7AoJ6OWpFSQ3wrZYuS4eVxwlof44OuIgj7+dAmDbS OqvEev6iFb/HPVamCiOKy0+zyZPzeSvxraJJkRHv7Kw5pVipjHNJ75BMmGWkJadN +SmnZfYi51D/1NiK9D26XXV4J8rbNxo385C/dhc07r2K6SLkA5p91cr5T7lAxaSb 1pdlOtvEjtjuAgEZwoK4jBPF+KPQ4lPmsmYjeiUT8Ue81s1k057XXynnZhP0+Umt MiJVsfYGFEgmFiMUtregYq192lFCAYC36s/ISo/7PTTbxPqak4o+VNVlKlo7BuSr 6kYnyfYsHCuNVXp5IMhEOXFbiwWWJJqPuJkRKlXiHa9Y1GGpAYBKZOWsSxZzzHLo nwqe0mdTnuusX2n5bY086wPALQDp9h04kiYEMv+d4g0hLBGeeNvIho0WL3dloqIm N8TdPsuuXIXUaKDauL+w =5UUb -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
We once developed a reminder system for a customer. He's a cleaning company, cleaning homes and offices. He was spending two hours a day calling his customers to remind them of their appointment the next day. Two hours a day equates to 40 hours a month that he saved with that system. He's been using it for maybe 6-7 years now and not once was a customer upset that they were called. Of course there are many ways that someone can abuse an autodialer, but this wasn't one of them.

Extra bonus : the appointment date is written down and most smartphones should allow a calendar event creation by clicking on the properly crafted message. -- Bertrand LUPART
