Correct guess Amber :) . A dialer (without the rogue thing) is a software that accompany a dial ups connection, a dialer enable your computer to dial the ISP so you can get connected to the Internet.\n\nA rogue dialer is a software, that do what a dialer do, without user permission. It dials a long distance or International number than charge you for using their "service". Often the price is very expensive.

Telephone service is usually under the control of computer systems.  Some people, known as fone phreaks, enjoy hacking telephone computers.  One phreaking device called a “blue box” allows the user to more or less complete control over the telephone system.  Caller ID is just one of the functions effected.

I've been told to always beware telemarketers so any one calling me to invest in anything gets a quick hang up. So my opinion would be to steer clear of all of them.

my favorite line to telemarketers is to tell them im busy right now and if they will give me there home phone number i will call back. when they say no, i say oh i guess you dont like people bothering you at home either. and then i hang up.

Actually KC is VERY wrong as to the application of FCC guidelines on this issue and the abuse of the robo calls by repugnatcuns read on:\nFCC regulations: automated callers must hang up when the called party hangs up.\n\nThis became an issue after robo-caller systems were preventing people calling 911 in emergencies.  In some cases people died because they could not hang up and get a dialtone because the robocaller would not let go of them.\n\n(Tech background: telco central office switches have traditionally been configured in such a manner that the calling party controls the connection.  The called party has to hang up for between 7 - 10 seconds in order to force the line to disengage.  More recently there have been design changes that minimize this issue, but it is not completely gone.  The goal is that you should always be able to get a new dialtone by hanging up your phone for 1.5 seconds, whether you are the caller or the called party.)\n\nAs a result of the 911 emergency call cases, FCC required that these automated calling systems hang up when the called party hangs up, so the called party can get dial tone back and make an outgoing call.\n\nIt would appear that the dirty tricksters have found a way to circumvent the law by having the system release the line on each call but then keep calling back.  HOWEVER:\n\nIn many states the definition of "obscene, indecent, or harassing phone calls" includes placing repeated calls to a subscriber who does not wish to be called.  This activity obviously qualifies under those statutes; typically the violation is a misdemeanor with a penalty of up to 1 year in prison or a $1,000 fine.  It can be argued that the penalty should apply per call or per called subscriber, in any case this adds up to a potentially very large number of counts of that misdemeanor, which could bankrupt the GOP.   Think of hundreds of thousands of calls, at a $1,000 fine each.  \n\nIt can be argued that the repeat calling also violates the intent of the "release the line" regulations because if a called subscriber has the Call Waiting feature, the additional incoming calls will trigger call waiting signals, which interrupt conversation briefly each time the little "beep" sounds on the line, thereby interfering with the life-or-death conversations of emergency calls.  For example, "He's having a (beep!) attack!"  Was that a heart attack, an epileptic attack, angina, a stroke ("brain attack") or something else?  This angle is at least worth pursuing, and if nothing else, the R's attorneys will have to respond to it if it's raised as part of a civil action.

RDD (Random Digit Dialing) sampling is usually achieved by an auto dialer, which is a computer program which randomly selects and dials phone numbers in certain target area codes, for example 214-XXX-XXXX.   The hardware is somewhat expensive to purchase and setup, so most firms looking to conduct telephone interviews choose to outsource to an independent telephone research firm.  A couple good firms that are respected and well known in the field of Market Research, in particular telephone research, are listed below.\nhttp://www.infosurv.com/market_research_surveys.htm\nhttp://www.acnielson.com
