Conflicting location information: if the collector's information indicates the consumer may be in more than one place (e.g. an Eastern-zone area code and a Pacific-zone address), it complies only by calling at a time convenient in all of those locations (Reg F comment 6(b)(1)(i)-2). A collector may not call at any time it knows or should know is inconvenient to the consumer (e.g. after the consumer says so), regardless of the 8 a.m.-9 p.m. default (15 U.S.C. § 1692c(a)(1); Reg F comment 6(b)(1)-1). No federal Sunday or holiday ban, but a consumer's statement that a day or time is inconvenient makes calls then unlawful.

Why area code alone is not enough

Mobile numbers travel with their owners, and a ported number keeps its original 267 area code and exchange. A 267 number tells you where the line was assigned, not where the person is today.
Under Regulation F, when you know of more than one location for a consumer — a mailing address in one zone, an area code in another — the time must be convenient in every one of them. Use the address-state field above to add the zones you know about.
Call only when the window is open in every location you know about, and stop calling at times the consumer tells you are inconvenient, whatever the clock says.

Questions

What time can you call area code 267?

Area code 267 is in Pennsylvania, on Eastern time. Debt collection: federal — Presumed convenient 8 a.m.-9 p.m. local time at the consumer's location, any day. Pennsylvania: Creditors must assume 8 a.m.–9 p.m. local time is convenient (same as federal). Telemarketing: federal — 8 a.m.-9 p.m. local time at the called party's location, any day. Pennsylvania: 9 a.m.–7 p.m. Monday–Saturday; no solicitations on Sundays or Pennsylvania legal holidays.

What time zone is area code 267?

Area code 267 is entirely in Eastern time. Clocks move for daylight saving time in March and November.

Can a debt collector call a 267 number on Sunday?

Sunday is not singled out: Pennsylvania's debt-collection hours are every day 8:00 a.m.–9:00 p.m., and the federal 8 a.m.–9 p.m. window also applies. A consumer can still tell a collector that Sunday is inconvenient.

Does Pennsylvania restrict calls on holidays?

Yes. Pennsylvania bars telemarketing calls on its legal holidays. This page lists the dates for the next 12 months.

Is the 267 area code enough to know the person's local time?

No. Mobile numbers move with their owners and ported numbers keep their area code, so a 267 number may belong to someone in another time zone. If you know other locations for the person, the call should fit the window in all of them.
