2. A dialer describes a program available on the Internet that promises users access to free adult material, software, games, etc. However, it disconnects the modem to dial a long distance or toll number to get the information. Unfortunately, often the user is unaware of these costs, causing expensive phone bills. Today, with users no longer using a modem, dialers are not as common.
