Rebtel is an interesting mobile VOIP company that has been hanging around with everyone else in the mVOIP industry. Rebtel offers cheaper long distance calling on mobile phones by essentially changing your number and your friend’s number to local telephone numbers (rebtel numbers). There is no need to download anything which is a huge plus especially for mobile phone applications, yet the downside is that you are given a new phone number. This process is similar to GrandCentral’s.Rebtel also offers an additionally confusing function which allows users to make free phone calls. To do this one must call a rebtel number, tell the receiver to hang up and then call your number back. In the meantime, you stay on the line and just wait for the call to resume. While this provides both ends of the call with a free long distance conversation, the process is one which will most likely not be easily adopted. Like many companies in the mVOIP field, Rebtel offers great prices, but services that are either non-intuitive or not available on a wide range of phones and services.Competitors include Skype, barablu, ConnectMeAnyWhere, jajah, GizmoProject, truphone and others.
