  • Welcome Minutes

    Every user gets a free call to try Rebtel. Once the trial minutes are up, you must add credit to your account to keep calling. However, it is currently not possible to use the Welcome Minutes to the following countries

  • Direct Call

    For Direct Calls we charge you a small per minute fee (which varies depending on your calling destination.) You'll also pay your mobile operator's usual rate for a local call. If you have inclusive local minutes with your contract, the local call will be free.

  • Free Call

    Free Calls are only available between Rebtel Countries. There's no limit to the number of Free Call minutes, and you can make as many calls as you like. All you will pay is your mobile operator's usual per-minute rate for a local call. If you and your friend both have inclusive minutes with your mobile contract, this international call can be completely free.

  • Collect call

    If you and your friend both live in Rebtel countries, but your friend is not a Rebtel user, they can use Rebtel to make collect calls. Your friend can call you collect by using the local number that is sent to them by mail when you add them as a contact.
    (In our settings you can also choose to send your local number by SMS).
    Your friend will only pay for the local call (depending on their phone company). You will pay Rebtel for the international part.

  • Double dial

    If you don’t want to create a Rebtel number for someone (perhaps an international number you’ll only use once, such as a hotel) you can Double Dial. Just call the Rebtel Operator and follow the instructions. You pay the usual per-minute fee to Rebtel for this plus your mobile operator’s local call rate.
