[asterisk-users] Call List Campaign to an IVR

[Tech Support]

    We once developed a reminder system for a customer. He's a cleaning
company, cleaning homes and offices. He was spending two hours a day calling
his customers to remind them of their appointment the next day. Two hours a
day equates to 40 hours a month that he saved with that system. He's been
using it for maybe 6-7 years now and not once was a customer upset that they
were called. Of course there are many ways that someone can abuse an
autodialer, but this wasn't one of them. 
Regards;
John V.

believe there are different other scenario that won't be unethical or
unlawful.

Did they explicitly sign up for the sole purpose of having you call them?
Even if they did I'd get mad if a robot called rather than a person, though
a robot wouldn't get through my anti-spam CAPTCHA IVR.
If a random website that required me to sign up to download some file
started robo-calling me I'd be quite upset.
