Free Calls To And From Dominican Republic

Stockholm – July 19, 2010 – Dominicans are again able to call any phone, anywhere in the world for just pennies per minute, and make free calls to loved ones in 50 countries – including the U.S. – now that Rebtel service has been restored.

The international calling service provided by Rebtel, the world’s largest independent mobile VoIP company, can be used with any phone, just the way it is, and without any modification to the customer’s current phone plan.

There is no charge to set up a Rebtel account. Everyone gets a free five minute call to test the service. Thereafter, subscribers only pay for the minutes they use, and on average realize savings of up to 95 percent compared to traditional long-distance rates.

Rebtel’s low-cost calls from the Dominican Republic to any phone in the United States, where Dominicans now represent the fifth largest Hispanic group, cost just $0.015 USD per minute

Smart Calls between the Dominican Republic and the 50 other countries served by Rebtel are always free, and only one of the two people on a call must be a Rebtel subscriber.

“With more than 1 million Dominicans living and working in the U.S., Rebtel is the cheapest, easiest way to keep in touch with your loved ones and now you can even make that international call for free,” said Andreas Bernström, Rebtel CEO.

Rebel with a cause
Founded in 2006, Stockholm-based Rebtel took its name from its rebel stance in the telecom industry. Its vision was to replace fraudulent calling cards, cumbersome computer calling, and operators’ expensive international calling plans with the world’s first genuinely good, honest, trustworthy, and easy-to-use global international calling service.

The company’s mission was equally simple and straightforward: Make reliable, high-quality international calling extremely cheap or free worldwide.

Unlike Skype, which requires international calls to be made over Wi-Fi, a fixed Internet connection, or a $99 per month Verizon plan, Rebtel works with any phone – landline, feature phone, or smart phone – for just the low price of the call.

“Four million Rebtel customers pay only for the minutes they use – or make free calls – and you can too,” said Bernström. “It’s time to join the Rebtel revolution like millions have done worldwide, and just say, no, to fraudulent calling cards, fiddly computer calling, and carriers’ expensive international calling plans.”

Rebtel Offers Free Calling From Dominican Republic To 50 Countries

Stockholm, Sweden – February 26, 2009 – The ’09 World Baseball Classic is right around the corner and in its honor, Rebtel, the people’s global communications company, has started free international calling to and from the home of baseball greats Vladimir Guerrero, Danny Ortiz, Jose Reyes, Manny Ramirez, Miguel Tejada, and of course, the New York Yankee’s power-hitting third baseman with the richest contract in baseball history, Alex (A-Rod) Rodriguez.

Starting today Rebtel makes it possible to call between the Dominican Republic and 50 other countries free of charge or make super low-cost calls from the DR to anywhere in the world.

There is no charge to set up a Rebtel account. No contract. And, no monthly fees.

“I guarantee you that the Dominican Republic is going to kick the Netherland’s butt on March 7, so celebrate with a phone call to your friends and family no matter where they live in the world,” said Winbladh, renowned consumer advocate worldwide. “We have more than 2 million people who use our service to make free or super-cheap calls every day. This isn’t a joke or a gimmick. This is the real deal.”

Free calls: Tricky but worth it
Rebtel’s standard rate from the Dominican Republic is little more than a penny per minute – just $0.015 to a landline or mobile phone in the U.S.

“But Dominicans are just like everyone else in the world when it comes to talking to their friends and family,” said Hjalmar Winbladh, Rebtel CEO “They love to talk and love to talk often, so if our standard rates are still too high, then use our Smart Call service and make the call for free. It’s a bit tricky, but after you’ve done it once, it’s easy and you’ll never go back to making a call the old way again.”
Here’s how to do it: When the person in Santo Domingo calls their friend in New York, they ask their friend – while they stay on the line – to hang up and call right back using the New York phone number displayed on the screen of their phone.

When that happens:
•   The person in Santo Domingo is making a local call
•   Their friend in New York is making a local call
•   Rebtel connects the local calls over the Internet, and
•   The international minutes are free.

Smart Calls (when the person who receives the call hangs up and calls back while the original caller stays on the line) can be made today between 51 countries around the world.
