Recording consent

One-party

Wyoming is a one-party consent state — only one party needs to know about the recording. Syntharra discloses recording in the opener on every call regardless.

Call window

9 AM – 8 PM, weekdays

Federal TCPA: 8 AM to 9 PM local time. Wyoming is fully in the Mountain time zone. Syntharra runs calls 9 AM to 8 PM Mountain, weekdays only.

Primary statute

Wyoming Consumer Protection Act (Wyo. Stat. Ann. §40-12-101) and federal TCPA / FDCPA

Wyoming's Consumer Protection Act (Wyo. Stat. Ann. §40-12-101 et seq.) prohibits deceptive trade practices in commerce, including first-party invoice follow-up that misrepresents who is calling or what is owed. Wyoming is a one-party consent state for call recording. Federal TCPA governs AI voice disclosure and call windows. Wyoming is fully in the Mountain time zone. For a service business calling overdue invoices in Wyoming, the requirements are: AI disclosure in the opener, Mountain-time call windows, and a hard stop on any dispute.

What you actually need to know

Federal vs Wyoming — what changes

Federal TCPA governs AI voice calls; federal FDCPA applies to third-party collectors. Wyoming's Consumer Protection Act covers first-party businesses, prohibiting deceptive commercial practices. For a service business calling on its own invoices, the requirement is: identify accurately, state the correct amount, and stop on any dispute.

AI voice disclosure in Wyoming

Federal TCPA requires AI-voice disclosure at the start of every automated call. Syntharra's hardcoded opener runs before the language model. Wyoming's Consumer Protection Act prohibits deceptive representations; accurate AI identification satisfies both requirements.

Recording consent and Mountain time

Wyoming is a one-party consent state. Syntharra discloses recording in the opening line on every call. Wyoming is fully in the Mountain time zone, so federal TCPA call-window enforcement applies Mountain time for all Wyoming customers — 9 AM to 8 PM Mountain, weekdays only.

What stops a call in Wyoming

DNC language, invoice dispute, and any request to speak to a human each end a Syntharra call in Wyoming. Each trigger is enforced before the language model can continue. Wyoming's Consumer Protection Act allows attorney-general enforcement and private causes of action.
