Rebel Calling

Sorry, but some lies here! I always liked the originality of rebtel service. I am in telecom business for more than 18 years, so let me explain. First, when a connection is shaky, it's mostly never come from the provider, but from the bandwidth/codecs/peering problem/no MPLS/VoIP restrictions on the user side.. Second, converting international calls to local calls to be cheaper it's 99% BS! When we, providers buy a "minute" (A-Z termination), we pay for it regardless the origination. It's now a little changing in some countries, but not making a real difference in the cost. All servers are connected through IP address, and everything goes through Internet between the 2 local calls. So it is a nice marketing strategy to explain why it's cheaper, but the cost is the same. They just makes more money when you call the local number. The provider who owns the number receive the call/SMS, charge the caller, and give a retribution to rebtel. They may even makes more money on that, than on the international minute. I am sure they should be able to offer the international minute (most countries cost around 0.5 cent in wholesale, so 1 hour is only 30 cents!), because the retribution/commission they get from their provider of the local numbers may be more important than the cost of the minute itself (ex: 0,3 cents/minute commission on each call = 0.6 cents. Cost of the minute 0.5 cents. If call give for free, profit of 0.1 cent/minute). So $1 is for the fun. Nice job rebtel!

awesome. was recently running a comparison with all voip services and pricing is a mess. now this is clear. let s hope quality is there

Woah! This is a killer deal.... I've been a Rebtel customer for awhile and have NEVER had a single issue compared to Skype / Hangouts.

رايي انها شركة فاشلة اولا تقوم بتقيد الارقام بعد مدة ويسرقو الرصيد ويقول تحميل صفحة انصح بعدم تجربة تطبيق

"Rebtel is currently experiencing a high volume of traffic due to an overwhelming interest in our products. This could result in temporary disturbances in our services." :(

Interesting, it says calls to India is $2.39 per min. Google Voice charges only 1 cents per min. Not sure how this is cost effective. (?)

On the bottom of their website, it says "Rated 6.3 out of 10 based on 1,626 reviews. See some of the reviews here." of course all the reviews shown are 4-5 stars... misleading?
