Greed killed the dialer...there was plenty of money charging a nominal fee of $2-3 per minute (hey, phone sex is still as high as 4.99 a minute) but dialer owners/operators decided to fuck the surfer by charging much higher prices AND having shitty disclosure...and then also fucking the very same people sending that traffic...it wasn't just shaving a couple minutes per call, it was outright scamming people....

I think dialers will come back around as a means of charging surfers after all the crooks and thieves have left....but I wonder if any surfers would still be willing to use them after recieving those lovely $400-500 phone bills?
