skype to go vs. rebtel, plus – moneysaving expert loves us! June 13th, 2007  

Looks like Skype have started their own version of Rebtel. Aw!!! So, we all gathered round to take a little look. We’ve spent quite a while trying to come up with a nice way of saying this, but basically, the consensus was:

Skype To Go = weak
Rebtel = awesome

Ok, obviously, we would say that. Let us explain.

  • With Skype you only get one ‘To Go’ number. You can change the international number you assign to the number only once a week. In other words, you can only call one friend abroad per week.
  • With Rebtel? You get a minimum of 20 international numbers. In some cities you get 100. Isn’t choice great?
  • Want to call a friend? With Skype you’ll need to go back to your Pro page when you’re signed in. It’s a bit of a hassle.
  • With Rebtel? Just use your phone’s address book, same as normal.

There are a few other reasons why we kick Skype’s ass at this international mobile-to-mobile calling thing (you can call more countries, for starters!) We’re a lot smaller than them, but we’re feisty.

Oh and! Did we mention the whole free thing?

No wonder Martin Moneysaver is bigging us up too!

    Hi! Glad to see a face from Rebtel or should I say Rebel face ;) Looking forward to your blogs …

    This 1st one is definitely on the money! I couldn’t agree with you more – Skype’s offering does not even come close to Rebtel. In fact, no one can really match Rebtel – not only have I been set free from my PC (thanks by the way!) but I can stay connected with friends worldwide!
