Calling-hour rules for 913

Hours are local time at the person you are calling. When federal and Kansas rules differ, the narrower window governs; the live check applies every row at once.

Kansas

No separate state hours; the federal window applies.

Also in Kansas

Kansas's no-call law (K.S.A. 50-670, 50-670a) requires caller identification, prompt termination on a negative response and scrubbing against the National DNC Registry every 30 days, but sets no calling hours; the federal window applies.
Kansas has no debt-collection calling-hours statute.

Why area code alone is not enough

Mobile numbers travel with their owners, and a ported number keeps its original 913 area code and exchange. A 913 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 913?

Area code 913 is in Kansas, on Central time. Debt collection: federal — Presumed convenient 8 a.m.-9 p.m. local time at the consumer's location, any day. Kansas: no separate hour rule. Telemarketing: federal — 8 a.m.-9 p.m. local time at the called party's location, any day. Kansas: no separate hour rule.

What time zone is area code 913?

Area code 913 is entirely in Central time. Clocks move for daylight saving time in March and November.

Can a debt collector call a 913 number on Sunday?

Neither federal law nor Kansas sets separate Sunday hours for debt collection; the 8 a.m.–9 p.m. local-time window applies, and a consumer can tell a collector that Sunday is inconvenient.

Is the 913 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 913 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.
