Nevada uses the Nevada portion of the National Do Not Call Registry, treats telephone solicitation at a residence between 8 p.m. and 9 a.m. as a deceptive trade practice, restricts automated dialing messages, and requires registration for sellers making certain premium or investment pitches.

A telephone solicitor may not intentionally make an unsolicited telephone call for the sale of goods or services to a number in Nevada's registry. The Attorney General found that the Nevada part of the National Do Not Call Registry serves as that registry. A call is treated as solicited when the person expressly requested or permitted it. Calls based on a preexisting business relationship, meaning a direct purchase, rental, or lease from the solicitor, or another direct financial transaction within the prior 18 months, are allowed only if the solicitor keeps an internal do not call list and sends those customers a yearly written notice about it.
It is unlawful to do business as a seller or salesperson in Nevada without registering with the Consumer Affairs Unit of the Department of Business and Industry. Chapter 599B defines a seller as a person whose telephone solicitations offer free additional goods, premiums or prizes, precious metals, gems, or other investments, sports information, or recovery services, or answer inquiries generated by certain mailers or ads. A seller's application lists each location and telephone number with scripts and sales literature, security must be posted, and sellers and staff generally need a county sheriff's work card. Exclusions include licensed insurance agents and callers who complete the sale at a later face to face meeting without sending anyone to collect payment or deliver goods.
Nevada treats soliciting a person by telephone at the person's residence between 8 p.m. and 9 a.m. as a deceptive trade practice, and the same section applies during solicitations by text message. Separately, a device for automatic dialing and announcing may not place a call received by a telephone in Nevada between 8 p.m. and 9 a.m., or call back a number where the person ended the original call.
Nevada defines a device for automatic dialing and announcing as equipment that stores numbers, uses a random or sequential number generator, and is used exclusively to deliver a prerecorded message soliciting a purchase. Before the message plays, a recorded or unrecorded natural voice must tell the person who answers the nature of the call and give the name, address, and telephone number of the business represented. The rule does not stop device calls to a person with a preexisting business relationship with the caller or an affiliate, or calls made exclusively on behalf of listed groups such as nonprofits.
Nevada's calling hour rule covers soliciting a person by telephone at the person's residence. The Attorney General's page describes do not call protection for residential and cellular numbers on the National Do Not Call Registry. Chapter 599B defines a consumer as a person who is solicited by a seller or salesperson, and its list of exclusions from the seller definition does not include a general exclusion for sales to businesses.
During a solicitation by telephone or text message, it is a deceptive trade practice to block or intentionally circumvent caller identification on an unsolicited call, to place an unsolicited call that does not let caller identification show the business's number or name unless that is not technically feasible, or to knowingly cause misleading caller identification to defraud or harm someone. A seller or lessor soliciting by telephone must identify itself, whom it represents, and the purpose of the call within 30 seconds after the conversation begins.
For wire communications, NRS 200.620 makes it unlawful to intercept or attempt to intercept a communication unless the interception is made with the prior consent of one of the parties and an emergency makes obtaining a court order impractical. For private conversations, NRS 200.650 bars surreptitiously listening to, monitoring, or recording them with a listening device unless one of the persons in the conversation authorizes it.
Nevada law lets the Attorney General use the Nevada part of the national database as the state registry, and the Attorney General has done so since 2004. Its page tells consumers that numbers already on the National Do Not Call Registry are protected.
Soliciting a person by telephone at the person's residence between 8 p.m. and 9 a.m. is a deceptive trade practice under NRS 598.0918, and automated dialing devices may not place calls received in Nevada in those hours. The federal rule at 47 CFR 64.1200(c)(1) separately sets 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. for residential subscribers.
Chapter 599B registration applies to persons who meet its definition of seller, which is built around offers such as premiums, investments, and recovery services. The chapter excludes many callers, and the Commissioner of Consumer Affairs determines whether a person must register.
