Run away from Rebtel. I have just been ripped off – 20 US$

I was able to make the first call for few minutes (maybe five). After that, the access number no longer worked, and every time I tried to make a call, it did not work but still deducted from my credit. It says I made a 2 hour call when in reality I was not even connected.

I should have known… when there are no phone numbers listed for you to contact a customer service person, rest assure it is a scam.

I sent e-mails that have not been responded. I called a couple of “access” numbers, and they give you option “9″ to talk to someone. But when I dialed “9″ it says that option was not valid.

These people should be sued.

I tried Rebtel and am happy about the sound quality and service. Jaxtr is also very interesting and offers cheaper rate. I will give it a try. Other services, such as Jajah and vopium are choices that may be better for other users. Overall, these services all have their pros and cons. Doing research can certainly be the way to find a plan that fits you the best. Thanks to this forum that has introduction to these companies, as there was no good search option to find them on the web.

Phone cards are rip offs. They tell you you have 40 minutes for a
5 dollar card and you end up with 21. If you get disconnected, then you loose like $2.00. It’s about time these scam cards are played out. Call customer service, it’s someone in India. When you figure them out, they come back with a different name and pictures. I know this is true because I have seen 4 or 5 different $5 dollar cards to Africa with the same contact number. I don’t see any issue with Rebtel, but now that I know Jaxtr is 5 cents cheaper, it’s bye bye Rebtel.

And the best thing in it is Vopium Sync application which creates an automatic backup of mobile data. Now I don’t need to worry about my mobile data. I heard about Rebtel that they are offering 10 mins on signup, I want to add more that Vopium is offering Free 30 Minutes for international calls with 100 SMS as well. So guys don’t miss the Free Minutes :)

They leave it up to you to decide what’s best for you. Combine their voip plan with any other voip provider, plus your landline. They’ll give you a set of local access numbers to assign to your friends’ numbers. It’s not for the average user though. It’s for those who call quite a lot of international destinations using their mobiles.

I have recently contacted by phone and email by REBTEL.
They cry that their service is free.
Actually it is a 1 dollar weekly subscription, then the price of calling a local , then the price of calling a second local number(by your frind at the other end).
if is really free who is paying?
the client is paying always…and you are the client for rebtel.
be careful.
:)

we’ve published an analysis of how dramatically you can turn the tables on your operator. the full blog is at http://forum.rebtel.com/wordpress/2007/03/20/the-great-minute-stealers-debate-rebtel-comes-clean/

what’s especially interesting is to compare tariffs from ten years ago and look how little things have moved on in mobile compared to practically any other.

You get to hear an ad for close to 15 seconds and then you can talk for 15 mins for free completely.
You can dial using web, WAP or sms. You can signup using all three methods too.

I realized that many of these companies are not so happy with the term “minute stealers”. This was quite surprising to me when I researched for an article in a German magazine. I have outlined their argumentation in a blog post…
