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.”

STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN – December 11, 2006 – Happy holidays from Rebtel Mobile.

With Rebtel’s Call Home for the Holidays FREE program, everyone who starts using Rebtel between today and January 15, 2007 will get the first 30 days of service for free. No payments or contracts required to start calling. You pay for your local calls and Rebtel will connect them over the Internet free of charge for 30 days.

“You know you’re going to call friends and family abroad this holiday season – but this year you get a choice,” said Hjalmar Winbladh, Rebtel president and CEO. “You can pay expensive charges to make those calls with your mobile phone. Or, you can be smart and use your mobile phone and the Internet to bypass the mobile operators – any time; anywhere. So, why not? It’s your call.”

Instead of talking on your computer or landline, Rebtel lets you use your mobile phone to call your friends or family abroad and you each only pay for a local call – two local calls with a free Internet connection in between.

“Don’t pay international charges ever again,” said Winbladh. “For the holidays, give your loved ones local phone numbers where they live to call you, and get local numbers where you live to call them. Then Rebtel will connect your two local calls on the Internet for free.”

Normally Rebtel’s international calling services cost $1 USD per week for unlimited calling – but only for the weeks you use the service. And, no contracts are ever required.

“If you can make a local call on your mobile phone, you can get a free international connection today,” said Winbladh. “Without a doubt, Rebtel is the cheapest and smartest way to make mobile international calls.”
