Rebtel Blog

Sorry it’s been so quiet on here - we’ve been hard at work on the next iteration of our Facebook app! And now it’s time to take a peek at some of our new features.

Fancy new dashboard

First off, we’ve renamed the app ‘Let’s Talk’ – because encouraging conversation is what we’re all about! After that, you might notice our snazzy new dashboard screen – imaginatively entitled ‘Home’. You can see your latest activity, view your balance at a glance, and quickly get more numbers for your friends.

Rebtel friendfinder

Maybe some of your Rebtel contacts are on Facebook and you don’t even know it! We’ve made it easy to match Rebtel contacts with Facebook friends with a single click.

Profile box

We’ve also updated the box that appears on your profile once you’ve installed the app. Your friends can quickly get a number to call you for cheap by hitting the big blue button under your user pic.

It’s also quite stalkertastic as your friends can see who you’ve been calling – and who’s been calling you. (Course, if you’ve got things to hide then you can change your settings so nobody knows what you’ve been up to!)

Behind-the-scenes action

We’ve also included a bunch of improvements aimed at reducing friction and easing user journeys through the app. We’ve made it easier for users to get numbers for several friends at once. We’ve enabled people to complete their signup within Facebook (previously they had to visit Rebtel.com), and we’ve enhanced a few things within the payment flow, such as making it easier for users to activate auto-recharge. We’ve also clarified our payment error messages so that, on the rare occasions when things do go wrong, our users can know exactly what happened and why.

What do you think?

Your opinions are invaluable to us, and we’re been delighted with the reviews, comments and questions you’ve been leaving on the application homepage. We always endeavour to answer as quickly as we can so feel free to comment either on Let’s Talk or on our user support forum.

So, your feedback is required: what do you like about Let’s Talk? What don’t you like? And what would you love to see in the next release? Tell us - it’s been great developing this app with and for you, so please, keep talking!
