Introducing Rebtel 2.0 for Android December 15th, 2011  

In October, we unveiled the fruits of about a year’s worth of development, namely Rebtel 2.0 for iPhone and PC. Both represent the second generation of the Rebtel service and introduced free calls over Wi-Fi, 3G to compliment our existing local numbers network and the groundbreaking KeepTalking feature that has put an end to dropped calls due to poor data connections.

Today, the family finally becomes complete, as we’re happy to announce that Android, the platform that covers roughly half of the world’s smartphone market, is getting the same Rebtel 2.0 treatment. It’s available to download for free on the Android Market. We hope you’ll like it.

Welcome Screen

Out with the old, in with the new. The Android app has been redesigned from the ground up with a new color way with the main theme consisting of a radiant rippled map of the world. The signup process has been made easier and smoother than ever before so you can get going with what’s important; talking more with your loved ones.

Native Contact List Integration

No more synching or managing multiple list of contacts. The app integrates with your Android’s regular address book and gives you clear overview of what Rebtel friends are available to call for free or for savings of up to 98%.

KeepTalking

By the tap of a button, seamlessly jump from WiFi/3G to a local numbers call using Rebtel’s local numbers network available in 53 countries. This groundbreaking feature that was first introduced in Rebtel 2.0 for iPhone improves voice quality, reduces phone bills and puts an end to dropped calls.

Free Calls

Rebtel for Android builds on what’s already great. You can make free calls with Rebtel to friends living in of our 53 countries using our local numbers network, and starting today, you can call for free from wherever, whenever you want using Wi-Fi or 3G.

Dial Pad Call Interception

You don’t have to change the way you usually make calls to save money. Rebtel for Android runs in the background and picks up all international calls made from your phones regular dial pad or contact list and connects them with Rebtel. If you call a Rebtel friend, the call is free. If you call to any other phone in the world, we’ll make it up to 98% cheaper.

Happy Calling!
