I don’t know if I will succeed with convincing you but I’m certainly more than happy to try : )

First off, I believe the price over at ActionVoIP to India (mobiles) is 1.4 cents (US). In other words, ActionVoIP is 1.5 cents cheaper than us on that route.

In all honesty, I believe this is a case of mere personal preference. We strive to offer as much of a simple and convenient service for our users as possibe and try to liberate all our calling solutions from any downloads, need for WiFi access points or PIN numbers.

With ActionVoip you need all of those things (except maybe for a PIN) and you are tied to your computer every single time you wish to make a call to someone abroad.

If you would be using our service, you really only have to visit our website once to create an account. From there on out, you will have a unique local number for your friends forever and you can add new contacts, add credit and do most of the tasks you can do on the website via simple SMS messages or via our Rebtel Operator by calling an access number. We have one of those for each and everyone of our Rebtel Countries so you would be alright even though you travel a lot.

Personally, I believe that kind of convenience value and ease of use is worth paying those extra 1.5 cents.

Thanks!

If you call mom 10 times a month, that’s a whole 60 cents.

If you are calling her 100 times a month, that’s $6 bucks extra, yes? Under this scenario you would be both A) A momma’s boy and B) Really cheap.

(And I can’t believe I’m defending Skype…*sigh*)

And, @KieranMullen, with the proliferation of VOIP apps on various mobile platforms, you don’t need a computer to make/take calls.

can you convince me to pay 2 cents pro minute extra with rebtel?

I have found this setup to be good and inexpensive. Not only can we call them, they can call us or anyone in the US and Canada,all for $5.50/month (US number + monthly subscription)

I find it rather peculiar that Skype have decided to increase a fee that most VoIP players in the market today (including ourselves) don’t even carry. Personally, I find it hard to come to terms with the argument that the increase is a mere reflection of market conditions. As Pat already pointed out (thanks for the support by the way).

Om, I apologize for the shameless plug, but if you’re a frequent caller and feel comfortable with making a slightly larger deposit ($25), you can call India for a mere 2.9 cents. Read more here http://tinyurl.com/nh3lxb if you’re interested.
