T-Mobile to allow calls to the US and Europe as part of inclusive minutes
Calls to the US and Europe as part of your monthly inclusive minutes? Really?
Yes! It looks like at least one of the major mobile operators has started to come around to Rebtel’s way of thinking. T-Mobile’s new pricing plan, Business 1-Plan, allows business customers to call the US and Europe with their inclusive minutes. (International calls are generally excluded from such packages: instead you have to ‘activate’ the service and then pay ridiculous rates for your calls.)
We’re glad to see one of the major operators saying what we’ve been saying for the past two years - international calls shouldn’t cost the earth. Of course, as this is for business customers only it’s still a long way from the kind of open communication model we’d like to see, but it’s a start.
And in the meantime? We’re still here to help you get the most out of your inclusive minutes - and with Rebtel, you can save on calls to anywhere in the world. Not just Europe and the US. Now that’s the business.
Ping this!

Hi,
I have been using Rebtel and calling from US to India. However I have mostly called during free hours or within the free minutes provided under my US T-Mobile plan. Will I be charged for local minutes by T-Mobile? If yes, why, since I haev been calling practically to a US no. My plan is $39.99 permonth with 600 minutes free.

Hey Divayjyoti,
Thanks for reading our blog!
I’m going to try to answer your question even though I don’t work at T-Mobile
If you have inclusive minutes to local numbers in your monthly plan, you will be using those when calling internationally with Rebtel.
If those minutes only are valid between certain hours of the day or if you use them all, I will have to assume you will be charged for the call.
Best,
Alex from Rebtel
