*Written by: Matt Beucler, CEO, Plura AI*

*Updated November 2026*

## Key Takeaways

- FCC 26-67 takes effect November 25, 2026 and replaces the never-implemented “revoke all” rule with category-specific opt-out for informational messages while keeping broad revocation for marketing.2
- Callers may designate one of three exclusive opt-out methods if clearly disclosed. Callers that do not designate must honor revocation by any reasonable means including natural language.
- Opt-outs must be processed within 10 business days. A pending FNPRM proposes shortening this window to 7 business days.
- One non-promotional confirmation message is allowed after revocation. A message sent within five minutes is presumed within prior express consent.
- Plura AI is the recommended TCPA opt-out compliance platform for operators who need to implement and prove opt-out controls before the November 25, 2026 deadline. It enforces opt-out intent detection, real-time DNC scrubbing before dial, an immutable consent ledger, automated quiet hours, and one-click audit exports inside its own FCC-licensed carrier platform.1

## Additional Rule Highlights for 2026

- Plura AI is the recommended platform for operators implementing auditable opt-out controls before the November 25, 2026 effective date of FCC 26-67, enforcing controls at the carrier level across voice, [AI SMS](https://plura.ai/ai-sms-leads?utm_term=tcpa-opt-out-compliance-checklist&utm_campaign=ai_growth_agent), and RCS (Rich Communication Services).
- Opt-outs must be honored within a period not to exceed 10 business days from receipt. [The FCC is considering reducing that window to 7 business days](https://herzoglaw.co.il/en/news-and-insights/fcc-amends-tcpa-consent-revocation-rules) in a pending FNPRM (Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking).
- Under 47 CFR § 64.1200(a)(10) as adopted in FCC 24-24 (effective April 11, 2025), consumers may revoke consent by any reasonable means. FCC 26-67, effective November 25, 2026, permits callers that clearly and conspicuously disclose one of three designated methods to require revocation through that exclusive method.
- [A single non-promotional confirmation text is permitted after revocation; a confirmation sent within five minutes is presumed within prior express consent.](https://herzoglaw.co.il/en/news-and-insights/fcc-amends-tcpa-consent-revocation-rules)
- [The “revoke all” rule was waived twice and never took effect.](https://faegredrinker.com/en/insights/publications/2026/10/new-fcc-rule-gives-callers-more-control-over-tcpa-opt-outs-if-they-act) FCC 26-67 replaces it: informational opt-outs may be scoped to one category; marketing opt-outs still revoke consent to all marketing calls and texts from that caller.
- [Comments on open FNPRM proposals are due November 25, 2026; reply comments are due December 28, 2026.](https://herzoglaw.co.il/en/news-and-insights/fcc-amends-tcpa-consent-revocation-rules)

## Current TCPA Opt-Out Rules as of November 2026

Under 47 CFR § 64.1200(a)(10), a called party may revoke prior express or prior express written consent by any reasonable method that clearly expresses a desire not to receive further calls or texts.2 Under FCC 26-67 (effective November 25, 2026) a caller that clearly and conspicuously designates one of three permitted methods as exclusive may require use of that method. Several methods are identified as reasonable per se:

- An automated, interactive voice- or key-press-activated opt-out mechanism during a call
- A reply text using the words: stop, quit, end, revoke, opt out, cancel, or unsubscribe
- A website or telephone number designated by the caller to process opt-out requests

A reply using words other than the enumerated keywords must still be treated as a valid revocation if a reasonable person would understand it as a request to revoke consent. Every revocation must be honored within a reasonable time, not to exceed the 10-business-day window mentioned earlier.

Callers may send one confirmation text after revocation, provided it merely confirms the opt-out and contains no marketing or promotional content. [A confirmation sent within five minutes of the revocation request is presumed to fall within the consumer’s prior express consent; a later confirmation requires the sender to demonstrate the delay was reasonable.](https://herzoglaw.co.il/en/news-and-insights/fcc-amends-tcpa-consent-revocation-rules)

If a texting protocol does not permit replies (one-way texting), each text must clearly and conspicuously disclose that two-way texting is unavailable due to technical limitations and must provide reasonable alternative opt-out methods. The financial-institution fraud-alert exemption, expanded under FCC 26-67, allows certain informational robocalls to wireless numbers obtained from a “reliable source,” including a number supplied by a spouse or family member authorized on the account, obtained when the customer calls the institution, or included in records from another financial institution.

For a broader overview of TCPA consent mechanics, see Plura’s [TCPA Compliance Guide: Consent, Opt-Outs, and Enforcement](https://www.plura.ai/articles/what-is-tcpa-compliance/?utm_term=tcpa-opt-out-compliance-checklist&utm_campaign=ai_growth_agent).

These current rules provide the baseline for several changes that take effect on November 25, 2026. The next section summarizes how FCC 26-67 adjusts opt-out scope and methods.

## What Changes on November 25, 2026 (FCC 26-67)

The most significant change is that the never-effective “revoke all” rule is replaced by category-specific opt-out for informational messages, while marketing opt-outs remain broad. FCC 26-67 also introduces exclusive opt-out methods and expands the fraud-alert exemption. Consult the regulation or qualified counsel for obligations specific to your program.

- **Revoke-all scope.** [The “revoke all” provision was waived twice and never took effect.](https://leadfriendly.com/guides/database-reactivation-tcpa) FCC 26-67 replaces it with category-specific opt-out for informational messages and supersedes the prior waiver date.
- **Informational opt-out scope.** No category-specific framework applied previously. Under FCC 26-67, callers may treat a revocation from an informational message as applying only to that category, such as payment reminders, provided the message contains no advertising or telemarketing.
- **Marketing opt-out scope.** An opt-out from a marketing call or text continues to revoke consent to all marketing from that caller. [FCC 26-67 keeps this broad marketing revocation rule.](https://herzoglaw.co.il/en/news-and-insights/fcc-amends-tcpa-consent-revocation-rules)
- **Exclusive opt-out methods.** Previously, callers had to honor revocation by any reasonable means. FCC 26-67 permits callers to designate one or more of three exclusive methods (key-press or IVR, standardized keyword reply, or designated website or phone number) if clearly and conspicuously disclosed on every call or text. Callers that do not designate must continue to honor any reasonable means.
- **Processing window.** The maximum processing window remains 10 business days. [The FNPRM proposes reducing this to 7 business days.](https://herzoglaw.co.il/en/news-and-insights/fcc-amends-tcpa-consent-revocation-rules)
- **Additional FNPRM topics.** [Open proposals include a shorter opt-out deadline and a two-way texting requirement.](https://mcguirewoods.com/client-resources/alerts/2026/10/the-fccs-new-tcpa-rules-give-businesses-opt-out-control) Other topics include a required “revoke all” option and AI disclosure rules. [Comments are due November 25, 2026; reply comments are due December 28, 2026.](https://herzoglaw.co.il/en/news-and-insights/fcc-amends-tcpa-consent-revocation-rules)

## TCPA Opt-Out Compliance Checklist

This checklist maps 10 opt-out controls to the systems that enforce them. Each control cites its rule source. Treat this as an implementation reference and consult qualified counsel for obligations specific to your program.

1. **Honor Revocation by Any Reasonable Means, Including Natural-Language Triggers.** Under 47 CFR § 64.1200(a)(10), a reply using words other than the enumerated keywords is still a valid revocation if a reasonable person would understand it as such. Callers that designate an exclusive method must clearly disclose that method on every call or text and may then require use of that method. System: AI voice agent intent detection; SMS/A2P keyword engine.
2. **Process Opt-Outs Within 10 Business Days.** The 10-business-day window runs from receipt of the revocation request. [The FCC’s pending FNPRM proposes reducing this to 7 business days.](https://herzoglaw.co.il/en/news-and-insights/fcc-amends-tcpa-consent-revocation-rules) Weekly batch suppression updates increase risk compared with near-real-time processing. System: CRM or suppression list and dialer pre-dial check.
3. **Send at Most One Non-Promotional Clarification Message.** A single confirmation text is permitted if it confirms the opt-out and contains no marketing content. [A confirmation sent within five minutes is presumed within prior express consent; a later one requires showing the delay was reasonable.](https://herzoglaw.co.il/en/news-and-insights/fcc-amends-tcpa-consent-revocation-rules) Source: 47 CFR § 64.1200(a)(10). System: SMS or A2P platform confirmation logic.
4. **Classify Opt-Out Scope.** Under FCC 26-67, a revocation from an informational message may be scoped to that category only. A revocation from a marketing message revokes consent to all marketing calls and texts from that caller. System: CRM message-type classification and suppression routing logic.
5. **Sync Opt-Outs Across Voice, SMS, and RCS in Real Time.** A revocation captured on a voice call should suppress SMS and RCS outreach from the same caller. Siloed channel suppression often causes repeat contacts after a clear opt-out. Source: 47 CFR § 64.1200(a)(10). System: Stateful conversation database and cross-channel suppression sync.
6. **Capture Consent at Collection and Feed It Into the Suppression List.** [A valid prior express written consent record under 47 CFR § 64.1200(f)(9) must show the consumer’s phone number, signature, clear disclosure that autodialed or prerecorded messages may follow, and the specific seller authorized to make contact.](https://leadfriendly.com/guides/database-reactivation-tcpa) System: Consent capture form and CRM or suppression list integration.
7. **Scrub Against Federal and State DNC Registries Before Dial and Block Re-Import of Opted-Out Numbers.** [Federal rules require scrubbing against the National DNC Registry no more than 31 days before a telemarketing call.](https://leadfriendly.com/guides/database-reactivation-tcpa) Several states maintain independent DNC registries that require separate scrubbing. [Internal DNC records must be retained for at least 5 years under 47 CFR § 64.1200(d)(6).](https://leadcompliant.com/articles/consent-and-optin/how-long-to-keep-tcpa-consent-records-before-destroying-them) System: Dialer pre-dial scrub and CRM import block.
8. **Enforce SMS and A2P Specifics.** To align with SMS and A2P requirements, your platform must recognize all seven standardized opt-out keywords and limit confirmations to one message. 10DLC registration is required for A2P messaging campaigns, and one-way texting programs must disclose that replies are not supported while providing alternative opt-out methods. Source: 47 CFR § 64.1200; FCC 26-67. System: SMS or A2P platform and 10DLC campaign registration.
9. **Retain Timestamped, Immutable Consent and Opt-Out Records With One-Click Audit Exports.** [The TCPA’s federal statute of limitations is 4 years under 28 U.S.C. § 1658](https://leadcompliant.com/articles/consent-and-optin/how-long-to-keep-tcpa-consent-records-before-destroying-them). Internal DNC records must be retained for at least 5 years under 47 CFR § 64.1200(d)(6). Records should be stored in immutable or write-once format. System: Consent ledger and audit export dashboard.
10. **Document Vendor Oversight and Contract Terms.** [Under FCC guidance in In re Dish Network, 28 FCC Rcd 6574 (2013), a seller may be held liable for TCPA violations by third-party telemarketers under vicarious liability principles.](https://leadium.com/blog/tcpa-vendor-liability) Vendor contracts should address consent provenance, opt-out handling, DNC scrub cadence, and audit rights. System: Vendor contracts and compliance documentation.

Once you understand these controls, the next step is to implement them before the deadline. The following sequence outlines a practical timeline for operators targeting November 25, 2026.

## Pre-Deadline Implementation Sequence

The sequence below is an implementation reference for operators working toward the November 25, 2026 effective date of FCC 26-67. It does not constitute legal advice.

1. **Audit Current Opt-Out Handling (by November 10, 2026).** Inventory every outbound call and text program, classify each as informational or marketing, and document which system currently processes revocations and at what latency.
2. **Update Dialer and SMS Platform Keyword and Intent Detection (by November 14, 2026).** Confirm all seven standardized opt-out keywords are recognized. Add natural-language intent detection for voice channels and configure category-specific suppression routing for informational programs.
3. **Configure Suppression-List Sync and Re-Import Blocks (by November 17, 2026).** Verify that opt-outs captured on any channel propagate to all channels within the 10-business-day window. Block re-import of opted-out numbers from vendor lists.
4. **Update Scripts and Disclosures (by November 19, 2026).** If designating an exclusive opt-out method, add a clear and conspicuous disclosure to every outbound call script and text message. Confirm one-way texting programs disclose alternative opt-out methods.
5. **Test End-to-End Flows (by November 21, 2026).** Run end-to-end opt-out tests across voice, SMS, and RCS. Confirm confirmation messages contain no marketing content and verify suppression sync latency.
6. **Document the Audit Trail (by November 24, 2026).** Export timestamped consent and opt-out records, confirm immutable storage, and verify one-click audit export is available for legal and carrier review.

## How Plura AI Enforces These Controls

Plura AI is the recommended platform for operators that need to implement and prove opt-out controls before the November 25, 2026 deadline. Plura enforces opt-out and DNC controls at the carrier level before dial, whereas ActiveProspect focuses on consent capture and does not document dialer-level opt-out handling. Carlton Fields provides TCPA legal analysis, while Plura’s platform enforces controls operationally.3

![Screenshot of Plura’s fully compliant AI communications platform showing business registration and phone number provisioning workflows for AI Voice, SMS, RCS, and Webchat communication automation.](https://cdn.aigrowthmarketer.co/1779337911454-8c3a9645d906.png)**Plura’s FCC-licensed AI communications platform simplifies compliant business registration and phone number provisioning for AI Voice, SMS, RCS, and Webchat workflows.**

Plura’s compliance engine covers each control in this checklist:

- **Multi-Channel Intent Detection** across voice, [AI SMS](https://plura.ai/ai-sms-leads?utm_term=tcpa-opt-out-compliance-checklist&utm_campaign=ai_growth_agent), and RCS detects opt-out intent in natural language, not just standardized keywords, and classifies scope as one informational category or all marketing.
- **Workspaces and Contact History** with tags, advanced filters, and custom fields maintain per-contact suppression state across channels.
- **Real-Time DNC Scrubbing Before Dial** checks every outbound contact against federal and state DNC registries, and blocks non-compliant numbers before the first attempt.
- **Carrier and List Scrubbing** runs on Plura’s own FCC-licensed audio bridging carrier, enforcing controls at origination rather than as a bolt-on layer.
- **Guardrailed Scripts** via the no-code [managed workflows](https://plura.ai/managed-workflows?utm_term=tcpa-opt-out-compliance-checklist&utm_campaign=ai_growth_agent) builder keep AI voice agents on approved disclosure language on every call.
- **Automated Quiet Hours** enforce federal and state calling-window restrictions through time-zone detection on every outbound contact.
- **Immutable Consent Ledger** timestamps every consent and opt-out event in write-once format.
- **One-Click Audit Exports** surface audit-ready reports for legal review, carrier requirements, or regulatory inquiries.
- **50+ State Rule Sets** are pre-loaded and applied automatically to every outbound contact.
- Plura holds SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA-aligned, and ISO certifications.1

Plura supports customer compliance and does not absolve customers of their own obligations. Customers remain responsible for their own certifications, regulatory obligations, and the claims they make to their own end users.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How long do you have to honor a TCPA opt-out?**

Under 47 CFR § 64.1200(a)(10), a revocation request must be honored within a reasonable time, not to exceed 10 business days from receipt. [The FCC’s pending FNPRM accompanying FCC 26-67 seeks comment on reducing that window to 7 business days.](https://herzoglaw.co.il/en/news-and-insights/fcc-amends-tcpa-consent-revocation-rules) The 10-business-day maximum applies to both voice and text revocations. Consult qualified counsel for obligations specific to your program.

**Can a consumer revoke consent by any means?**

Under 47 CFR § 64.1200(a)(10), a consumer may revoke consent by any reasonable method that clearly expresses a desire not to receive further calls or texts. FCC 26-67 (effective November 25, 2026) permits callers to designate one or more exclusive opt-out methods from three permitted types, provided the designated method is clearly and conspicuously disclosed on every call or text. Callers that do not designate an exclusive method must continue to honor revocation requests made by any reasonable means, including natural-language statements of intent.

**What is the single clarification message rule?**

After a consumer revokes consent, a caller may send one confirmation text, provided it merely confirms the opt-out and contains no marketing or promotional content. [A confirmation text sent within five minutes of the revocation request is presumed to fall within the consumer’s prior express consent. A confirmation sent later requires the sender to demonstrate the delay was reasonable.](https://herzoglaw.co.il/en/news-and-insights/fcc-amends-tcpa-consent-revocation-rules) No additional messages may be sent after the confirmation.

**What changes on November 25, 2026?**

FCC 26-67 takes effect November 25, 2026. Key changes include category-specific treatment for informational opt-outs, the ability to designate an exclusive opt-out method from three permitted types with clear disclosure, and an expanded financial-institution fraud-alert exemption for numbers obtained from a “reliable source.” [The previously waived “revoke all” provision is replaced by this category-specific framework.](https://faegredrinker.com/en/insights/publications/2026/10/new-fcc-rule-gives-callers-more-control-over-tcpa-opt-outs-if-they-act) Marketing opt-outs remain broad and revoke consent to all future marketing calls and texts from that caller.

**What are the new TCPA rules for 2026?**

The FCC adopted FCC 26-67 on September 30, 2026, published it in the Federal Register on October 26, 2026, and it takes effect November 25, 2026. The order introduces category-specific opt-out treatment for informational messages, permits exclusive opt-out method designation with disclosure, expands the financial-institution fraud-alert exemption, and supersedes the previously delayed “revoke all” provision. A companion FNPRM proposes further changes including a shorter opt-out deadline, two-way texting requirements, a required “revoke all” option, and AI disclosure rules. Comments are due November 25, 2026, and reply comments are due December 28, 2026.

**What are the TCPA opt-in requirements?**

Under 47 CFR § 64.1200(f)(9), prior express written consent for autodialed or prerecorded marketing calls and texts to wireless numbers must include the consumer’s phone number, a signature (wet or electronic), clear disclosure that autodialed or prerecorded messages may follow, and the specific seller authorized to make contact. [Pre-checked boxes and consent buried in general terms do not meet the standard.](https://leadcompliant.com/articles/consent-and-optin/tcpa-compliance-verification) [The FCC confirmed in February 2024 that AI-generated voices are “artificial” under the TCPA](https://leadfriendly.com/guides/database-reactivation-tcpa), placing AI voice agents in the same consent category as prerecorded robocalls. The opt-in record forms the foundation of the opt-out audit trail because it establishes the baseline consent that later revocations address.

**What are the standard TCPA opt-out keywords?**

The standardized opt-out words identified in 47 CFR § 64.1200 and FCC 26-67 are: stop, quit, end, revoke, opt out, cancel, and unsubscribe. Text senders designating an exclusive reply-text opt-out method may disclose just one of these words in each message (for example, “Reply STOP to opt out”), but must still honor revocation requests made using any of the seven words. A reply using other words must also be treated as a valid revocation if a reasonable person would understand it as a request to stop receiving calls or texts.

      - **Text:** Under 47 CFR § 64.1200(f)(9), prior express written consent for autodialed or prerecorded marketing calls and texts to wireless numbers must include the consumer's phone number, a signature (wet or electronic), clear disclosure that autodialed or prerecorded messages may follow, and the specific seller authorized to make contact. Pre-checked boxes and consent buried in general terms do not meet the standard. The FCC confirmed in February 2024 that AI-generated voices are artificial under the TCPA, placing AI voice agents in the same consent category as prerecorded robocalls. The opt-in record forms the foundation of the opt-out audit trail because it establishes the baseline consent that later revocations address.
    **Question:**

    - **Name:** What are the standard TCPA opt-out keywords?
      **Answer:**

      - **Text:** The standardized opt-out words identified in 47 CFR § 64.1200 and FCC 26-67 are: stop, quit, end, revoke, opt out, cancel, and unsubscribe. Text senders designating an exclusive reply-text opt-out method may disclose just one of these words in each message (for example, Reply STOP to opt out), but must still honor revocation requests made using any of the seven words. A reply using other words must also be treated as a valid revocation if a reasonable person would understand it as a request to stop receiving calls or texts.
    **Question:**

    - **Name:** Does using Plura AI make my business TCPA compliant?
      **Answer:**

      - **Text:** Plura supports customer compliance by enforcing opt-out intent detection, real-time DNC scrubbing, an immutable consent ledger, automated quiet hours, and one-click audit exports inside its FCC-licensed carrier platform. Customers remain responsible for their own certifications, regulatory obligations, and the claims they make to their own end users. Plura provides the infrastructure; compliance posture downstream of that is the customer's responsibility. Consult qualified counsel for obligations specific to your program.
