An auto dialer is an electronic device that can automatically dial telephone numbers to communicate between any two points in the telephone, mobile and Pager networks. Once the call has been established (through the telephone exchange) the autodialer will announce verbal messages or transmit digital data (like sms messages) to the called party. A regular PC, desktop or laptop, can be turned into an auto dialer.
