Rebtel introduce unlimited international calling for $1/month

The Swedish VoIP provider, Rebtel, yesterday launched Rebel calling for its US customers, the package will allow US-based customers to access unlimited, free-app-to-app calling without necessarily using a WiFi connection.

Making international calls usually attracts ridiculous charge rates, much more using apps like Tango, Facetime ,WhatsApp and the likes requires a lot of data which in most cases are beyond whats budgeted.

Rebel app makes use of a WiFi connection to place an app-to-app call, but the calls are routed through local phone lines, this process does not require data nor WiFi, allowing users to make international calls easily without having to break their data plans.

Rebel is free in more than 50 countries including the U.S., the service comes with a cheaply cost of $1/month from 2017. In case, Rebel calling service is not available in your jurisdiction, users can make use of  Rebtel calling service for $2/month, to use this service you must be connected to the internet.

I’ve never been one to say no to some naked action (my pictorial of Sahara intestines), so when Kevin C. Tofel published his playboy styled look at the Q1 I couldn’t help but link to it. First it was Kevin’s fantastic Video look at the Q1, albeit with a webcam on a shoebox (remarkable Kevin), and now this great peek at some Q1 internals.

Enjoy this look at the latest run of posts from the enigmatic Kevin C. Tofel; I’m going to keep visiting to see any further updates.

Snipping:

Brace yourselves, because this isnt pretty. Its one thing to have an unboxing video of the Samsung Q1, but viewing the UMPC stark naked is a whole nother matter. In fact, just to keep it clean for those under 18, Ive only put a thumbnail pic here; a virtual UMPC peep-show if you will. Assuming youre of age, youll have to click the jump for the full thrill ride.

How good is Chippy? (retorical Question). Hes come up with a little announcement that many people Ive spoken to have been waiting for, a Rugged UMPC.

"Ruggedised always means higher production costs and niche target market so dont expect this version to turn up in your local electronics store. "

"Weve seen the X15 design before (the 7" version shown below is due to go into production in September but we still dont know how its going to end up looking or who will brand it.) and the VX3 looks to be based on the X15-7 original design. The specifications (pdf download here) are excactly the same apart from the ruggedisation and re-style."
