Polish People Worldwide Get Free International Mobile Calling
WARSAW, POLAND – December 11, 2006 – For the next three months, Polish people around the world can use their mobile phones to speak with loved ones abroad for nothing more than the cost of two local calls.
“Be smart Polania,” said Lukasz Wejchert, Onet president and CEO. “You can pay expensive charges to call Poland with your mobile phones, or you can be smart by joining the OnetRebtel revolution and use your mobile phones and the Internet to bypass the mobile operators. It’s your call.”
OnetRebtel, www.rebtel.onet.pl, is the result of a long-term strategic partnership announced in September between Grupa Onet.pl SA, owner of Poland’s leading Internet portal Onet.pl, and Rebtel Mobile, the world’s new mobile company for calling friends and family worldwide.
Instead of talking on their computer, or making expensive fixed line or mobile calls, OnetRebtel lets people use the most personal calling device – the mobile phone – to call friends and family abroad and each only pay for a local call. Two local calls with a free Internet connection in between.
And for the first three months OnetRebtel’s service is free. After that, it’s just 3 PLN ($1 USD) a week.
“Onet and Poland where chosen for our first partnership for a reason: there are more than 34.7 million mobile phones in Poland today and more than 14 million Polish people living and working abroad – most with mobile phones, and all want to keep in touch with home,” said Hjalmar Winbladh, Rebtel co-founder and CEO. “With OnetRebtel we make friends and family abroad no further away than a local call on a mobile phone.”
Added Wejchert, whose Onet.pl portal enjoys 9.7 million unique users per month, including 1.5 million from abroad: “OnetRebtel is unquestionably the cheapest and smartest way to make international mobile calls.”
