The software he uses is through a company called SlyBroadcast, though there are lots of other companies that offer similar products. The message he leaves is conversational and compelling. In it, he mentions that he has a free book he’d like to give out. When people call him back, sometimes they ask about the book, but often, they forget.

There is contention at the Federal level about whether ringless voicemails fall under this protection. Many states, including Florida, have declared them an illegal practice. The state courts have consistently ruled that voicemail messages are in fact calls, and subject to the same TCPA restrictions as automated dialers or other pre-recorded messages.
