Welcome, China, into the world of Rebtel!

nobody@vox.com(Chai340) — Tue, 29 Jan 2008 11:13:50 -0800

Now it is possible to get local numbers in Shanghai. This means that another 18 million people have the opportunity to call people around the world for a fraction of the normal mobile rates that mobile operators charge. Rebtel empowers the caller to take international calling out into the streets instead of being tied up to a fixed phone or computer. Walk the walk on international talking with Rebtel!

The Rebtel conference application works in 40 countries!

nobody@vox.com(Chai340) — Wed, 23 Jan 2008 12:39:15 -0800

Garret Smith on Smithonvoip wonders why he should use the Rebtel conference call application, Group Talk, instead of the Iotum conference application. One obvious reason is that the Rebtel application works in 40 countries, not only in the US. This means that you do not have to use a third part supplier for the call to the US. Just call the local number to join the call! Iotum has some nice features, e.g. raising your hand, which probably is useful in a formal meeting. A great feature in the Group Talk application from Rebtel is that the conference can be opened with just a phone call, without rescheduling. This means that you can use the conference call number for ad hoc conference calls as well as scheduled ones. When you are the first one to call in you get the option of letting the system call all participants to inform that the conference starts.

Hats off to Jajah for following the Rebtel lead!

nobody@vox.com(Chai340) — Thu, 17 Jan 2008 08:00:30 -0800

Shiv writes about the Rebtel like service that Jajah launched recently. Jajah has made a great effort in bringing cheap calling to the masses. Loads of people have signed up via Jajah and been able to call their loved once much cheaper than with the normal operator. The fact that Jajah now follows the Rebtel lead by offering local numbers, shows that the Rebtel way of calling is the right way to go. Rebtel offers local numbers in 40 countries for your contacts abroad, compared to Jajah’s 6 countries. The quality Rebtel provides is great and the prices are highly competitive. In fact they are some of the lowest on the market. Check out an independent service comparison made by Luca Filigheddu.

"Straight Talk from Talkster"

nobody@vox.com(Chai340) — Wed, 26 Dec 2007 14:35:28 -0800

I really like the blog from Talkster called “Straight talk from Talkster”. It is important to make sure that the business you run and the services you provide are perceived correctly. Therefore I want to make sure that the information on Rebtel is correct.

Rebtel is as free as Talkster is.

You do not have swipe your card at Rebtel or set up an account to be able to talk as much as you want with your friends and family in 40 countries. Just use the same routine as with Talkster. You don’t even have to listen to any ads.

However, Rebtel gives you the option to skip the hang up-call back stuff and just keep on talking. With the lowest rates in the business, Rebtel is definitely a great choice!

"Talkster - Free International Mobile Calls?"

nobody@vox.com(Chai340) — Tue, 25 Dec 2007 03:08:36 -0800

I read Dennis' blog post on Wap Review about Talkster where it says, when comparing Rebtel to Talkster, “…but Talkster has one big advantage - unlimited free calls.” Talkster is a great service, but the fact is that Rebtel also offers unlimited free calls. Check out the Rebtel blog about Talkster and free international calls.

"Mobivox makes long distance calling easy"

nobody@vox.com(Chai340) — Sun, 23 Dec 2007 00:03:34 -0800

I read the Savvy Boomer blog on Mobivox describing how to set it up and call etc. I have tried it out myself and I think the guys at Mobivox are doing a great job. Bringing cheap international calling to the world is important. However, even though I like the concept of the VoxGirl I haven’t really gotten tuned in to saying the name of the person to call. Maybe it’s my Swedish accent that complicates it.

Therefore I like the Rebtel set up better, where you can save the phone number to your friend in the phone and call as normal. It’s really easy to get started and use. Just send a text message with the name and number of the person you want to call to +44 7797 800 900 and you’ll receive the number back. Save it in your phone book and use it whenever you call that person. You can also get numbers at http://mobile.rebtel.com/

Don’t forget the Christmas offer from Rebtel. Make you first payment and get up to 20 USD!

Call you friends and family to say “Merry Christmas”…in just one call!

nobody@vox.com(Chai340) — Fri, 21 Dec 2007 07:41:30 -0800

I have set up conference calls a number of times for zillion money. Now it's possible to set it up for free, i.e. Rebtel charges nothing! You set it up, participate and talk for free. The only cost is for the local call charged by your operator.

Take the opportunity to schedule a conference with your loved ones for Christmas. They will receive an SMS with the number to call and the time set for the call. They only pay for the local call. Currently the conference feature is available on Facebook (http://apps.facebook.com/conferencecalls/) but you can invite anyone in a Rebtel country (http://www.rebtel.com/en/Rates/Rebtel-countries/). They don’t even have to be on Facebook or have a Rebtel account.
