Welcome Newcomers!
Up until today you’ve been able to use the fabulous Rebtel service from 47 countries world wide. We’ve had a great time together and we love all 47 of them equally. Just as if they were our own.
Today though, is a big day for us. We’re announcing 3 brand new additions to the Rebtel family; Panama, Malta and Puerto Rico. Obviously - we’re thrilled about this. We’re hoping that you, our wonderful users, as well as our older countries that has been with us for a little bit longer will make these newcomers feel welcome. Hjalmar Winbladh, our CEO, is so excited that he even decided to learn some Spanish
He’s been running around the office for the last few days shouting “El pueblo unido, jamas sera vencido”.
In practice, these good news mean that all the wonderful people in Panama, Malta and Puerto Rico will be liberated at last from the tyranny of deceiving calling cards and the captivity of carriers with horrendously priced international calling rates. Thou shalt not fear - Rebtel has come to the rescue!
Naturally, if you live in any of the other 47 Rebtel countries you are now able to make Smarts Calls to friends, family or girlfriends living in any of the new countries.
Check out the rates below to get an idea of how much you’ll be able to save:
- Puerto Rico to any phone anywhere in the U.S. - $0.015 per minute.
- Panama to Colombia - $0.029 per minute to landlines; $0.095 per minute to mobiles.
- Malta to the U.K. - $0.019 per minute to landlines; $0.18 per minute to mobiles.
And for all new customers who sign up before December 18 the rates are even lower for their first 30 days of calling:
- Malta to the U.K. - $0.013 per minute to landlines; $0.126 per minute to mobiles.
- Puerto Rico to the U.S. - less than a penny per minute - $0.008 per minute to any phone.

Hey Maria,
We continuously try to add new countries. I can’t really say when Senegal will be added but if you would like a notification when it is, please scroll to the bottom of this http://www.rebtel.com/en/Rates/Rebtel-countries/ page and enter your email address to receive a notification.

Hey Morgan,
It really differs a whole lot depending on the VoIP rules and regulations in the respective country we’re looking to add.
If there’s a specific country that you’re interested in you can have a look at the link in one of my earlier comments to Maria.
On the bottom of that page you can enter your email address and get a notification as soon as your country of interest is added.
Thanks!
Alex

Hi, I have a question hopefully someone can help me. If I make a collect call to a rebtel user with the phone number I got after he added me on his account, and then he calls me back, is that still considered as a smart call.

Hey there Javier,
To answer your question, in order for a Smart Call to occur, both of you have to be registred Rebtel users. If only one if you is Rebtel user, the call will be a regular Collect Call.
Thanks!

I need help. REBETEL is by far the best invention ever.
I need help! My phone changed to another area so every time I add a new number it gets the area code from another city and not the one I am in.
