About Rebtel
Written by the company
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.

I was happy at first with this network
I was happy at first with this network, but after using it only two times the third time I topped it up for over a month ago and every time I try to make a call it says technical problem. My £20 gone for nothing 😕

I noticed small charges from my account…
I noticed small charges from my account that are connected to a phone number I do not have access to. I provided them with all the information they need to confirm that the payments are coming from my bank account but they put you through a continual loop of asking for the same information over and over again and refuse to cancel the subscription unless I provide confirmation that I created the account even though I have provided bank statements showing the actual deductions under my account. I’m even ok with just taking the losses of what has been deducted to date but them just cancelling the active subscription but still they won’t do it.
I think their business model is making these unauthorized deductions and hoping people won’t notice. Even with proof that these deductions are from my account and I have clearly requested them to stop the deductions, they are refusing to unless I provide proof that I am the account holder of the phone number that was used to access the account. The fact that it is my bank account that has all these deductions apparently doesn’t factor in to their logic. Clearly they are doing this deliberately as others are also reporting this illogical loop of information requests. Meanwhile my account still keeps getting deductions of $3 each month…definitely do not use them.

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.
