YouMail: 923,007,800 robocalls in 2025, 566,105,400 in 2026 YTD. Jackson has appeared in the U.S. top 25 city lists. 21,459 DNC complaints — 727 per 100,000, up 55.0%, fourth-largest jump in the country.
Federal floor: TCPA $500 / $1,500.
Mississippi layer:
- State telemarketing / consumer-protection rules and AG enforcement.
- No Florida-style private $500 mini-TCPA. The dollars-per-call private claim is the TCPA.
- Mississippi’s variable is volume per person, not a new statute. Nine hundred million estimated robocalls in a smaller state is the story.
What changed: No 2026 mini-TCPA. Mississippi signed the multistate FCC letters. YouMail flagged Mississippi among the sharpest monthly risers in late 2025.
Left on the table: 21,459 × $500 ≈ $10.7 million. × $1,500 ≈ $32.2 million. Against 923 million estimated robocalls, almost nobody is suing.
