Switzerland - Beginning April 1st, 2004 - all dialers will be prohibited in Switzerland. This new law will ban all dialers. Premium Rate Numbers (0900) are affected by the law as well. All numbers that cost at least SFR 2 per minute (approximately $1.56/minute USD), will have to announce the price first thing when the connection is established.
Premium numbers which charge more than SFR 5 per minute (approximately $3.90/minute USD) will require that the disclosure of the price/rate to be confirmed with a special confirmation by the caller. The caller will have to press a key to confirm that he knows he will be charged this high rate.

loophole in Switzerland: if the dialer uses a satellite phone connection, it's not covered by that law (yet)
