Free 2 hours call to Myanmar until 2008 May 22

Rebtel is giving free call to Myanmar to help contact (and obviously promote their service) until 2008 May 22. Each user is entitled up to 2 hours free call time. I registered and tried out. The registration does not require credit card, but do require a handphone (landline should also work). Basically Rebtel will give you local number for your contact. So mobile phone charge will incur. Before you make a call, check that number. Your phone service provider may charge premium fee for some number. By no means, I am responsible for your lost if it has.

I tried fews calls to Monywa and seems working but haven't get talk because Myanmar side do not pick up my phone call. So far I got to three wrong number from six tries.

In normal rate, Rebtel charge 30.61 yen (0.30 USD) per minute for Myanmar phone call. So slightly less competitive price considering extra changes from your mobile carrier. As always with voip service, new user get free call upon registration (Rebtel gives 10 minutes free).

To resolve this wrong number issue, i contacted to Rebtel. The Rebtel web site do not give a customer service number. Of course there is email and web form customer service, but too slow to my taste. So i find out company phone +46851906100 and got a call. I finally reached to their technical service staff, Mr Nicolus. I had responsible reply with him. So far i just made wrong number issue.

I ask several friends around the world and several people report it works and the voice quality is fine. (See MZ, NM forums)

Considering it is difficult to call to Monywa even using premium IDD call, the difficulity may be due to Myanmar side. Anyways 2 hours free call is worth to try. Please see how to use Rebtel for detail instruction.

Fair-use policy allows you 2 hours of free calling to China and in view of the present situation we have extended it until May 28:th. We are happy so many are calling to Myanmar but our current capacity to Myanmar cannot hold more calls, so a lot of people cannot get through. We therefore have to temporarily limit the free minutes to 10 minutes when you phone. We hope to be able to increase our capacity again before the extended free calling ends on the 28:th of May.
