Good to know about Rebtel

Written by the company

What we do
Rebtel is international calling and mobile top-ups in one app. Two ways to stay close to the people who made you.
Calls that cost less
Call home for up to 90% less than your carrier charges. No contracts, no monthly fees, no surprises on your bill. First call free.
Top-ups in seconds
Send mobile credit straight to a phone back home. You pay here, they get it there, usually before you've hung up.

Our connection promise

It works when the internet doesn't

Rebtel calls run over the regular phone network instead of the internet, so they get through when video and messaging apps can't. And a top-up reaches any phone, smart or not. The person on the other end never needs an app, a data plan, or good signal.

Free minutes and fee free 1st top-ups

Rebtel in Turkey

Im in Turkey and want to call Europe.I use here both wifi and a data international esim (both have perfect and stabile connection). I spent many hours to make a phone call, but Rebtel does NOT connect, even using VPN.

Customer service incredibly told me that I need a local (Turkey) sim for using Rebtel in Turkey and that using a VPN is even worse.

I still can't believe their "advice".

Update:
Although their support is fast and polite, it unfortunately offered no solution, and reaching out again makes no sense to me. Regrettably, the service simply does NOT work at all in Turkey, whether with or without a VPN—even though a VPN is essential there to communicate freely.

Rubbish service

Rubbish service - didn't work at all even though I bought both the global and New Zealand specific data and call plans to be used while I was in Panama. A pure scam which cost me a small fortune and with no support or help from their customer service team. This is a scam please avoid this type of service You Have Been Warned!!

Have been using the Rebtel app since 2024 and it’s so amazing. It just works perfectly. I mostly use it for calling local numbers when roaming abroad and it works everywhere in Europe and only costs pennies per call. So good!

I'm on holiday in South Africa from the UK. I wanted to call a UK landline. I downloaded the Rebtel App and signed up for the free trial which included free minutes. I attempted the international call but had "insufficient minutes" to do so. Then I bought $5USD of credits as I needed to make one call and $5 was the smallest top up available. Again. I tried making the call but still heard the same message, " you have insufficient minutes" to make the call. Then I purchased $10 of additional credit. The same problem. So after I had wasted $15 on top ups that did not work, I gave up. Rebtel did get back to me and apologised. Hoping they will refund some or all of the $15 for my 3 minute international call which did eventually happen. Thanks Rebtel for the follow up and response.
