Filipinos: Cut Up Your Calling Cards – Rebtel Is In The House

Stockholm, Sweden – May 12, 2008 – Calling the Philippines from the U.S. got a whole lot easier and cheaper today from any phone, anywhere, any time day or night with Rebtel’s move to beat even the best calling cards available.

“Use your mobile.  Use a pay phone.  We don’t care.  The rates are the same.  And the best part is with Rebtel you only pay for the minutes you use.  No sign up fees.  No contracts.  No connection charges, surcharges or minute rounding,” said Hjalmar Winbladh, co-founder and president of Rebtel.

Rebtel, the people’s global communications company, today slashed its rates on calls to the Philippines from the U.S. to just 12¢ per minute for call to landlines 14¢ per minute to mobile phones.
Rebtel can be used with any mobile phone without modification or software downloads, and does not require any change to customers’ existing plans with their mobile operator.
There is no charge to set up a Rebtel account.  And, all newcomers get a free 10 minute call to test the service. Thereafter, customers only pay for the minutes they use.

“No one in their right mind uses their mobile carrier to make calls from the US to the Philippines  – the rates are ridiculous,” said Winbladh.  “And everyone knows that calling cards are a rip-off.  Fradulent phone cards are costing consumers the US alone more than $ 1 million a day. That’s why everyone keeps trying new ones in the hope of finding an honest card.  Well, forget it.  Just switch to Rebtel.”
