Much of the internet is un billable by traditional methods popular in the United States, mainly Credit Cards. However these surfers still desire access to premium content only available at a price. The solution is the Dialer.

Essentially a dialer disconnects the surfer from their primary Internet Service Provider and connects their modem to an international line which bills the surfer for the amount of time they spend on website, typically on per minute billing.

This is all good in theory however in the past many programs have used deceptive practices to begin billing surfers without full disclosure that they are being billed or the amount that the content will cost. As a result the user is left with a shockingly high phone bill and many questions to answer to the wife.

The best line of defence is to read through the fine print on any program that is asking to connect you to a premium content site. They are required to disclose this information but will often bury it in the legalese so be a smart surfer.

Most dialers use ActiveX to prompt you to install or connect. If you know you don't wish to use dialers its recommended that you set your Internet Explorer Security Settings to "High" to eliminate most of the problems.

Also note that many dialers also install Spyware of Adware on your computer so its recommended that you also us a good spyware removal program if you wish to use a dialer to access adult content.
