Calling Hours
The CRA and industry norms typically restrict commercial calls to reasonable daytime hours. DialerBee enforces timezone-aware calling windows per campaign.
Consent
Consent requirements for commercial communications in Qatar may vary by context. DialerBee tracks consent type, source, and timestamp per contact.
DNC (CRA)
The Communications Regulatory Authority maintains do-not-contact frameworks. DialerBee supports internal and external DNC list checks before every dial.

Call recording requirements may apply under Qatari regulations. DialerBee supports configurable recording announcements and consent capture.
Additional Considerations

Caller ID / CLI
