In reply to Margareta. Hey! I'm not sure I understand the question. Do you mean for data/roaming?

In reply to Mick. I wrote this post many years ago, so I'm guessing some things have changed since :)

Just a big scam, they don’t mention it’s only completely free if the person you’re calling has rebtel too and the “free” part is 3 minutes

Hi Alex,
Great review for both Skype and Rebtel both of which I’ve used at least 5yrs. My major concern is with Rebtel customer service. Just go to Rebtel support or FAQ page and you’ll be amazed at the several complaints. I’ve experienced it a number of times. They simply have no customer service. What they do is have you send an email to their support team and their response would be a generic reply from their website. Not having phone or live support when you need it or having to wait days or weeks for an issue or be addressed(not resolved) beats me and is the reason I’m still on the search for a better provider

In reply to Ricky S. Contacting your credit card is a good way to get companies to pay attention when something has gone wrong -- I think the US attorney general might be a bit busy to take on this case, though :) Hope you get it sorted soon!

In reply to Bema. Hey Bema. Try contacting customer service. Thousands of people use Rebtel every day -- seems like a glitch is more likely than them "stealing" your money. Good luck!

Yes, REBTEL IS A SCAM. I purchased the Unlimited call to Colombia and it ate my money in the frst call. I contacted Customer Service and Kim answered the next day, but never gave me a response why it is not unlimited. I feel Rebtel is a total SCAM. I will contact my credit card and the Attorney General.
