The people's global communications company slashes per-minute tariffs up to 50 percent to 23 countries.
Stockholm, Sweden (PRWEB) November 20, 2008 -- The global economy stinks. Money is tight. Everybody deserves a break. So, Rebtel - the people's global communications company - is slashing its rates on calls to 23 countries around the world up to 50 percent for the next 28 days.
That means, for instance, that you can talk to your friends and family for 1¢ or less per minute if they live in Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, Mexico, Poland, Russia or the United States.
"People around the world are losing their jobs; many their homes. Calling cards are a total rip-off. We just felt like we needed to do something extra good for people right now," said Hjalmar Winbladh, Rebtel co-founder and CEO.
All new Rebtel customers will automatically receive the super-low rates on up to 1,000 minutes to 22 counties until December 18, 2008, and up to 3,000 minutes to India.
"After the 28 days we'll go back to our standard low rates - already some of the lowest in the world," said Winbladh.
How Rebtel works
Rebtel gives people local phone numbers in their country that connect them directly with their friends, family or work colleagues who live abroad.
That means, for example, Rebtel gives someone living in San Francisco a local San Francisco phone number that connects them directly to their friend or family member in Andhra Pradesh, India.
There's no access number to dial, no PIN to remember, or long international phone number to enter. The person in San Francisco only dials a local San Francisco phone number and Rebtel connects the call to their loved one in India.
"One thing is for sure: calling cards will only deliver 60 percent of their face value, and the old operators will always cling to their decreasing margins, lock-in contracts, hidden charges, big offices, expensive TV-commercials, and out-dated methods. But they cannot stop the future of calling," said Winbladh. "Operators and calling card companies must change or die. The Internet was built on transparency, consumer value, openness and change. Values diametrically opposed to the business models of the traditional telecom players."

"One day soon, calling will be free," added Winbladh. "Together, we will achieve that."
