Hey Tom, imagine living abroad.. Calling family and friends on a daily basis... You would spend a fortune with normal Telcos (no you would not you would not call home frequently). But this is the idea of Rebtel. To call your relatives free of charge from mobile to mobile. They usually have tons of free minutes on their mobile plans. You can also call business at home very cheap (calls to landline without the need to ask for callback). “while it may work for calls to family members and close friends; it certainly does not for those urgent business calls.”
