Editing Dialer (section)

== German regulatory law ==
On 15 August 2003, a new law came into effect in [[Germany]] called "Gesetz zur Bekämpfung des Missbrauchs von (0)190er/(0)900er Mehrwertdiensterufnummern" ("Law for the combat of misuse of (0)190/(0)900 value added service numbers").

'''The law includes the following provision:'''

* Mandatory price disclosures by service providers.
* Maximum pricing caps, legitimacy verification, and automatic disconnects mechanisms.
* Mandatory Registration of dialers.
* Enforcement of dialers blocking.
* Consumer Right to access information form the RegTP (now Bundesnetzagentur). 

On 4 March 2004 the [[Germany|German]] [[Federal Court of Justice of Germany|Federal Supreme Court]] in [[Karlsruhe]]  ruled that charges for dialer use  do not have to be paid if the dialer was used without the user’s consent or awareness.
