What’s the story with RebTel?

I was chatting to a chap this evening about RebTel. You remember RebTel right? Big splash launch in the late summer last year then, … well… nothing. Nothing at all. Super service. A friend of mine is ABSOLUTELY loving it.

One imagines RebTel is still going. I haven’t heard a peep out of them. I thought they had tens of millions of pounds to spend.

Their blog / public relations is dying a death. So bad that when I needed to make some international calls recently, I totally forgot to even think about them and used Jajah instead.

I had a look at their contacts page and, well, there appears to a few bits of news on the site. But exciting it ain’t. And when people from the mobile industry are discussing you, only to remark, ‘what the hell happened to them?’ that can’t be good news.

I hope they’re cooking up some good stuff to launch on to the market shortly!

Does anyone have any gossip about them?

    Rebtel is way better than Jajah – it does mobile to mobile. And if you do the call-me-back thing the international bit of the call is basically free.
