# Cold Calling Services in Saudi Arabia

## Is B2B cold calling legal in Saudi Arabia?

Business-to-business calling isn't banned, but Saudi rules on marketing lean towards prior consent and a clearly identified sender, and how they apply to live B2B calls is less settled than in the UK or the US. Take local legal advice before a large campaign.

## Calling rules
- Saudi rules on marketing, under the Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL) and the anti-spam regulations, lean towards prior consent and a clearly identified sender. How they apply to live business-to-business calls is less settled than in the UK or the US.
- Because of that, we call business lines during Saudi business hours, Sunday to Thursday, and your caller says who they are and who they're calling for at the start of every call.
- Anyone who asks not to be called again is never called again.
- For a large campaign, take local legal advice first. We'll set up the campaign to match what your adviser recommends.
