Service
The Rebtel service allows for a new method of making international calls using a feature-phone, landline, smartphone or desktop PC. The technology facilitates low-cost or free mobile-mobile and mobile-landline international calls and works over Wi-Fi, 3G or by creating local landline numbers in both the country of origin and destination and routing the international part of the call over VoIP. For the user, this means being able to call free of cost to other users of the Rebtel service or to any other non-user phone for a substantially lower cost by comparison to a regular Mobile network operator. As opposed to other similar services offering calls over VoIP, the core Rebtel service that leverages local numbers works on any phone and without any additional user-installed software, computers or Internet connections and with any mobile phone and Mobile network operator.
A unique feature of the application is its “Keep Talking” feature. Keep Talking allows users who are talking over Wi-Fi to switch to the mobile network at a moment’s notice. The app will prompt users to tap the Keep Talking button on the call screen to keep the call conversation going seamlessly, keeping users connected to their Rebtel calling conversation even when they leave a Wi-Fi coverage area or experience a degraded connection.

Famous quotes containing the word service:
“Finally, your lengthy service ended,
Lay your weariness beneath my laurel tree.”
—Horace [Quintus Horatius Flaccus] (65–8)
“Civilization is a process in the service of Eros, whose purpose is to combine single human individuals, and after that families, then races, peoples and nations, into one great unity, the unity of mankind. Why this has to happen, we do not know; the work of Eros is precisely this.”
—Sigmund Freud (1856–1939)
“A man’s real faith is never contained in his creed, nor is his creed an article of his faith. The last is never adopted. This it is that permits him to smile ever, and to live even as bravely as he does. And yet he clings anxiously to his creed, as to a straw, thinking that that does him good service because his sheet anchor does not drag.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
