rebtel.com -> free your cell phone!

I've found this great web site idea in Business 2.0: rebtel.com ...

The idea is simple: you add a long distance contact on rebtel.com and you get a local phone number for that contact. You can now start calling that person a dirt cheap rates instead of the astronomic fees your cell phone operator charges you. For example, I now pay 2 cents (CAD) a minute to call anybody in North America. The more free local minutes you get in your contract, the better this works out.

It gets even better! The person you are calling can call you anytime at the permanent local phone number they caught on their call display when you called them. You then still only pay 2 cents a minute.

It gets even better!! (warning: read this slowly ..it can be confusing) you can call long distance for FREE on your cell phone (works on landlines too actually) by doing the following:
  • use your local phone number for your contact to call them
  • they answer
  • thell them to hang up before 10 seconds have elapsed at the number they see on their call display
  • DO NOT HANG UP
  • you will hear a message that tells you to wait
  • a few seconds later, you're talking to your long distance contact for FREE
it works well .. I've been trying it for a few weeks now

NOTE: I am NOT being paid for this post and I'm NOT selling anything ... this is only a review of a useful web site and service
