Nevada
What Nevada's rule says
What are the calling hours in Nevada?
In Nevada, soliciting someone by phone at their home is allowed only from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Calling outside those hours is a deceptive trade practice under NRS 598.0918(3), and automated-device calls received in Nevada are held to the same window (NRS 597.814).
Nevada trims both ends of the federal window: an hour later in the morning and an hour earlier at night.
Breaking the hours rule is a deceptive trade practice, which brings Nevada's consumer-protection remedies into play.
Nevada is on Pacific time except West Wendover, on the Utah border, which keeps Mountain time; area code 775 covers both.
For recording, Nevada's Supreme Court has read its wiretap law to require every party's consent for phone calls (Lane v. Allstate, 1998), although in-person conversations need only one party.
Who the rule covers
Nevada's window applies on top of the federal 8 a.m.–9 p.m. rules; where both apply, follow the narrower one.
- Covers: telephone solicitation of a person at their residence.
- Automated calls: the 9 a.m.–8 p.m. window doesn't apply to people with a preexisting business relationship or the groups in NRS 597.816.
Nevada's rules and where they come from
Deceptive trade practice (NRS 598.0918(3)): Soliciting a person by telephone at their residence before 9 a.m. or after 8 p.m. is a deceptive trade practice.
Automatic dialing-announcing devices (NRS 597.814(2)(a)): Automated-device calls received in Nevada only between 9 a.m. and 8 p.m., except to people with a preexisting business relationship and the groups listed in NRS 597.816.

Do Nevada's calling hours apply to texts?
Nevada's rules don't address texts. No state rule for texts. The FCC's rule applies its 8 a.m.–9 p.m. limit to marketing texts sent to cell phones (47 CFR 64.1200(e)); courts are split on whether people can sue over it.
Time zones and area codes in Nevada
Nevada has 2 time zones, so check which one the lead is in: Pacific (Almost all of the state); Mountain (West Wendover).
Area codes in Nevada: 702, 725, 775. A number's area code is a clue to where the person is, not proof: people keep their numbers when they move.
Calling Nevada from TopReach
TopReach smart lists only dial a lead inside the legal window in their own time zone (weekdays 9 a.m.–9 p.m., weekends 10 a.m.–6 p.m.) and skip statutory holidays, and a rep calling a lead outside their hours is asked to confirm first. They don't apply Nevada's own rule for you. To stay inside it, set your workspace's quiet hours from 8 p.m. to 9 a.m..
Recording calls into Nevada: All-party for phone calls (by court ruling); one-party in person. TopReach records only when your workspace policy says so (never, always, or the rep's choice), and it doesn't play a recording announcement for you, so reps say it at the start of the call where consent is needed.
