France has implemented a ban on unsolicited telemarketing phone calls across all business sectors, taking effect on Tuesday. While the prohibition aims to bring an end to cold calling, certain exceptions apply, allowing calls only when they relate to an existing consumer contract.

The regulatory shift has been met with significant enthusiasm from consumer advocates, with one consumer group hailing the new measure as a "small revolution" for the sales industry.
