Rebtel Wins Battle Against O2 September 2nd, 2008  

Dear friends,

Victory!

Rebtel is officially back in town and we’re planning on staying for a loooong time without any unexpected interruptions :) Everyone at Rebtel has been working frantically on the O2 case the last couple of weeks and we are unbelievably happy to announce that as of this afternoon, we are no longer blocked by O2 in Germany.

First off, we want to thank all of our users for the massive support and help during the past couple of weeks. Without your personal support, blogging, Tweets, Diggs, Facebook status messages, emails to O2’s CEO and phone calls to their support staff we could never have made our voice loud enough for O2 to hear us. With the Rebtel community being able to come to terms with O2 on this matter we have proved that together we are strong. We held our ground and the persistency surely paid off.

We will continue to update our blog with the latest news so to make sure to add our feed to your RSS reader or simply bookmark http://blog.rebtel.com. To see the press release in full, please click here.

Once again, thank you friends and all the very best!

/Alex and the rest of the fabulous Rebtel Team

PS. Now we’re going back to basics and to our daily routine which consists of pushing the calling prices as low as they can possibly get. All of you guys as Rebtel friends can help us out with this by telling your friends about us and as icing on the cake, we’ll give you up to $200! It’s the truth. Click here for more info.

    I was recently in Brazil and at least some mobile phone operators do not show what number should the recipient of a rebtel call to make a smart call. Now that you are done with Germant perhaps you could look into this.

  • Hey guys,

    Unfortunately due to legal reasons I'm prohibited to talk about the details. I realize all of you are keen to find out (I would be too) but what is truly important is that we are back on our feet in Germany :)

    Thanks for reading the blog, it means a lot.

    Hi,

    i am happy that the o2 blocking of the rebtel numbers in germany has been lifted for the time being.
    What i would like to know is, what you did in the first place to "convince" o2 to step back from their illegal practise.

    Here in Germany their is quite a number of different services affected by the o2 block.
    As far as i can see, until today rebtel seems to be the only service where the block has been lifted.

    Did you actually file a complaint to the german regulatory office for the telecommunaction or even file a law suit ?

    i am just curious...

    Keep up the good work!
    Leo
