CROATIA GETS FREE INTERNATIONAL CALLING TO MORE THAN 40 COUNTIRES
Stockholm, Sweden – April 11, 2008 – Croatians can now use their mobile phones to call any phone, anywhere in the world for just a few lipas per minute, and make free international calls to friends, family, and work colleagues in more than 40 countries.
Rebtel http://www.rebtel.com, the people’s global communications company, today introduced low cost and free international calling to and from Croatia.
Rebtel services can be used with any mobile phone without modification or software downloads, and does not require any change to customers’ existing plans with their mobile operators. There is no charge to set up a Rebtel account. And, all new comers get a free 10 minute call to test the service. Thereafter, customers only pay for the minutes they use.
“We started Rebtel because we wanted to do something good for the consumer – connect the Internet and standard mobile phones so people wouldn’t have to pay the operators’ rip-off rates for international calls,” said Hjalmar Winbladh, co-founder and president of Rebtel.
With T-Mobile Croatia, for example, calls to Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Czech Republic, Italy, or Slovenia can cost 4,27 HRK ($0.90 USD) per minute. To most of Europe, the U.K. or the U.S., T-Mobile charges 5,49 HRK ($1.16 USD) per minute.
But with Rebtel Direct those same calls now cost just a few lipas.
“And if our low-cost rates are still to expensive for you, you can make it a free calls to 45 other countries with our Smart Call system,” said Winbladh. “It’s super simple to use, and after you’ve done it once you’ll never go back to paying for international calls again.”

How Rebtel works
Rebtel gives people local phone numbers in their country that connect them directly with their friends, family or work colleagues who live abroad.
By making all calls local, people can call each other as often as they like and talk as long as they want, for little or nothing more than the cost of the local calls.
That means, for example, Rebtel gives someone living in Zagreb a local Zagreb phone number that will connect them to their friend in Rome. And Rebtel gives the person living in Rome a local Rome phone number to call their friend in Zagreb.
Getting started is fast and easy:
1. Go to http://www.rebtel.com and enter your mobile number and your friend’s mobile number.
2. Rebtel creates local numbers and sends them in text messages (SMS) to each phone.
3. Save the number in your phone’s address book and use it any time to call your friend abroad.
