Recording calls in Wyoming
One-party consent. Wyoming Statutes § 7-3-702 prohibits intercepting communications but exempts a party or someone with one party's prior consent, unless the purpose is criminal or tortious. Wyoming is a one-party consent state.
Wyoming businesses often get calls from Montana, Colorado, Utah, Idaho, South Dakota and Nebraska. Of those, Montana requires all-party consent or has unsettled rules, which is one more reason to give a notice at the start.
Ava always says she's an AI. If your setup records calls, the script we draft adds a short recording notice to her greeting, and you approve the wording. Interstate calls can be tricky; see the state-by-state overview.
Time zones and after-hours coverage
Wyoming runs on Mountain Time. We set Ava's business-hours and after-hours scripts to your local Wyoming time, so early-morning and late-night callers still reach someone.
