AUTODIALLER

An auto-dialler is an electronic device that can automatically dial telephone numbers to communicate between any two points in the telephone, cell (mobile) phone and pager networks. Once the call has been established (through the telephone exchange) the auto-dialler will announce verbal messages or transmit digital data (i.e. SMS messages ) to the called party.
