First of all that isnt boneprone.. I am..
Secondly in defense of the dialer there is a disclaimer for the dialer, and it is quite difficult to get a bill that high.. The dialer disconects after 20 minutes use..

Third the surfer should know what he is getting into.. They need to open their eyes and read the disclaimer that is in no way misleading.. In fact it is huge, and more prevalent a warning than these "free sites" you see, or the standard 2.95 trial you see on any other program.

How is this different from the standard practice of recuring billing? Where a paysite continutes to re-bill every month? This is how these sites make money, on the recurring month after month after month.. And may people say it is on the people who dont check their bills evrymonth that they get this huge amount of revenue.. How is the dialer any different? There is a disclaimer for both programs.. The dialer even more so.. The dialer reams in sooo much because it is a purchase of impulsiveness. Porn is impulsive.. You dont need to rip out a credit card.. Just click.. ANd see it now! But yes I agree they are both misleading.. But I emphasize they both are .. One can argue the dialer makes most of its money being misleading perhaps, but so does the recurring practices you see on all major programs.


But the argument also goes for both, what makes you think that they dont know that they are paying that much to check out the content on the dialer? Or what makes you think the recurring memeber doesnt know he is being billed 40.00 a month on his credit card??

Come on man wake up! Everyone knows how the industry makes money.. If you dont like it get out and wuit yo bitchin.
