Rebtel extends VOIP worldwide with new iPhone and PC Application

Rebtel has been a leader in cheap international calling service and continues to innovate in this space. With their latest offering, you can now call from anywhere in the world to anyone in the world.

If you remember, Rebtel was restricted to only certain countries because they did not local numbers in some countries such as India. However, Rebtel has now introduced 2 new applications which will change this for good. Now it doesn't matter where in the world you live, you can now make calls no matter what.

Rebtel (Signup to get $10 Free Credit) has launched a new iPhone application and a PC application which will let you make calls without using a local number. Lets understand how to use this for your benefit.

1) Rebtel iPhone app: Rebtel's new iPhone app allows you to make call using 3g/wifi means you do not require the local number fuction anymore. Just go to rebtel app and start dialing out at cheap international calling rates. Say bye bye to mobile operators.

2) Rebtel PC application: In Singapore (where I live), almost 70% population owns an iphone (including me). These numbers could be wrong but seriously almost everyone owns a iphone here. Well, a country with 16% population as millionaires probably can have it all. However, not everyone onws a iphone, so how about good old fashioned PC application. Well, trust me. I use my PC Apps more than iphone apps so that beats it. Just download Rebtel's PC Calling application and start making those calls.

Very importantly, most Rebtel competitors do not provide calls over Wifi/3G. Using a local calling number means additional cost to you for making that local call, however Wifi/3G simply cuts down the middleman and gets your straight to your party.

I downloaded and played with the iPhone app today and it looks fantastic. Both Wifi/3g could deliver very good call quality on both of my calls to USA and India. If you are on a fat 3G data plan, I suggest you use 3G but if you can get a strong wifi go for it :-)

Wish you all a very happy diwali and prosperous new year. Sorry, I was too busy eating chaklis and laddos to post this earlier :-)

Betamax releases Mobile Voip App for Nokia Symbian

In a interesting development, a few betamax services released a new Mobile VOIP app for Nokia Symbian phones. One would wonder why Symbian? Because, Nokia is on Symbian and still dominates the asian markets where most of betamax customers belong to.

If you still don't know, UAE and the middle east is the biggest market for Betamax. Although, its changing rapidly with new providers entering the market, however people continue to use betamax despite of hidden charge and connectivity issues. This is mainly because of the local operators in UAE still working mainly with Betamax which in turn offer the service to end consumer.

UAE still doesn't have a huge iphone or android base, however its changing, so releasing a symbian app really make sense for betamax who started loosing customers to competitive services like Localphone which offers cheap rates and extremely good call quality.

If you are hardcore betamax lover and use a Nokia phone, Go download their App. Its currently available for Poivy, Freecall, Voipbuster and LowrateVoip services.

Honestly, I am not sure how long these apps will continue to work before the local operators figure out a way to block them. However, I heard nimbuzz still works like a charm and gives you a flexibility to switch VOIP providers from your phone.
