Fuck you're an idiot. How can it be deceptive IF the surfers knows exactly what the call is costing him? I'm not talking about all the bullshit that goes on with diallers with autodownloading and all that crap - I'm talking about a guy knowing exactly what it will cost and still using it.

You may not like diallers but the statement you made just shows your stupidity.

There can be many reason two of which are simple.

1st is that a guy simply doesn't have a CC ( and there's a shit load of them out there) so he can access live shows etc this way. Ok the cost is stupidly high but it's his choice.

2nd is the best use for a dialler imo which is to give a qucik preview of a pay site before whipping a card out. Of course this is only really applies when no trials are on offer but even with a trial can be a way to make a punter happy that he's not gonna be ripped off once he's given the CC details out.

The only time I use a dialer these days is for Jap traffic and 404 on my own server which is purely people trying to get where they shouldn't by typing in URL's. No time or sympathy for either of them.
