Pakistan is now a Rebtel Country!
Rebtel is now available in Pakistan.
This means you can now make free international calls to Pakistan with Rebtel. You only have to pay your existing operator for a local call. Rebtel will not charge you anything. Have a look at www.rebtel.com/freecalls.
We have also dropped our rates to Pakistan to 7.4 ¢/min, so you can talk longer with your family and friends. This is one of the lowest rates in the world to Pakistan and there are no hidden charges.
Help us lower the rates to Pakistan and other countries even more by spreading Rebtel. You also get a nice $10 USD for every friend that pays for a call. Try using our Tell Friends tool or simply send your Profile Page to your friend and ask them to sign up on that page. You can easily edit your page from the Settings menu in your account.

saami,
You can make free calls from any mobile or landline in the UK.
Call your friend, ask him to hang up and call you back on the Pakistani number displayed on his screen, while you hold on the line. As soon as he calls back, you will be talking for free.

Inappropriate?Hi everyone!
Just a quick heads up!
To see the number that your friend can call you back at, you need to delete it and add it again so that it gets updated in the system.
You will then be able to click on "your friend can call you back" to see the callback number in Pakistan.
Sorry for the extra step and enjoy the free calls to Pakistan!
Spread the word!

I am not Rebtel employee but may be I can help you.
1. Just delete contact, add again, and call. When your family picks up the call ask them to call back within 10 seconds. If you dont do in 10 seconds your call will disconnect as you dont have credit in your account. If you dont like this 10 second hassle make a payment and then you dont have to worry about calling being disconnected after 10 seconds.
2. Same applies to your family in Pakistan. After they added your Bahrain number to Rebtel they will see Pakistan local number. Ask them to call you on that number and when you pick up the call in Bahrain, just hang up and call back in 10 seconds. No one needs to pay to Rebtel but just to your mobile operators for local call. If you have flat rate plans entire call will be free of cost as much time as you want (or until your mobile battery dies :) ) -
Inappropriate?hi there, i am trying to use the smart call when i call from uk to pakistan my family does see a local number 042....... whilst i hold the line they hundup the line and dial the number but they are getting this message "dial the number if u registered with us or if u r our member"
Please help as its getting frustated why its not working
I’m billy

For Rebtel to function caller id needs to be enabled. If Rebtel system cannot see phone number of incoming call, it will ask you to enter number manually. Just ask your family member to check if caller id is enabled Or ask them to enter number manually when they hear Rebtel prompt. If you still face troubles please write to Rebtel support team and they should be able to help you solving your issue.
I have been using Rebtel to call from UK to US for over a year and I had faced similar issues but when I understood how it works, i enjoyed free calls all the way. Just be patient to understand how system works and it will be great... -
Inappropriate?I didnt get what "Efe" mentioned where do u want us to delete the number from? how can i get to see "your friend can call you back" please can you be more specific many thanks
I’m frustrated

just click your friend's contact name in My Rebtel page. You should see many options like Share Rebtel, Send WebSMS, ******* can call you back (Find out how) etc. Just click "Find out how" and you should be able to see instructions along with your friend's Pakistan local number for him to call back.
If you dont see any "Find Out How" just delete the contact in Rebtel account from "my rebtel" page and create it fresh again and you should see. -
Inappropriate?I have recievd this email,once i made the collect call, I was under the impression that the international call is free for both sides we only have to pay for the local call but what is £0.11 charge for please help
Thanks for using Rebtel to call *******!
********* can call you collect with Rebtel. When they call you, ******** will pay for a local call and you'll only pay the international rate of £0.11 (GBP). Simply email them the text below the dotted line to explain how to do it.1 Comment Add a comment

Using Rebtel you can make/recieve calls in 3 different ways.
Direct call: you call your family directly and you pay both Rebtel and you rmoble operator
Smart call: You call your family, they recieve the call hangs up and call you back on the number they see on their mobile screen within 10-15 seconds. Both of you pay only to your operator and nothing to Rebtel (international part is free, if you are on flat rate plan with free local minutes then call is completely free of cost)
Collect call: When you call them for the first time they see Pakistan local number on their screen. If you would like you can ask them to store the number and ask them to call you back anytime they want and you can take up that call cost which is called "collect call". They dont have to pay anything to Rebtel but just to their operator and you pay for that international call. It is like direct call but originating from Pakistan without them having to pay anything. If you would like you can convert that into SMART call by hanging up and calling back on number you see on your screen.
Check if this helps (if i am not clear) http://patphelan.net/rebtel-call-coll...

Inappropriate?I made a call to Pakistan and they called me after hanging up on me. But all I hear is ringing and so do they. How to pick up the phone when I am already waiting for the call to be connected? Do we have to press something or the call should connect automatically?
-
Inappropriate?I am having the same issue as both the parties can hear the ring but it seems to me that the ring is not getting through to the other party .. Please help btw click 1234 many thanks for your explaination it did clear few things for me

Inappropriate?I am confused for one thing. I live in Pakistan and am given a local No Pakistan for My cousin's No in UK.
As per your info I will call that local No and when My cousin pick up the phone will ask himj to call me back, during that wait I will not hangup. I got this.
But confusion arrises that when I call the local no and my cousin picks Up his no in UK, logically I should be charged for 1 min as My cousin has picked up the phone. If I am going to be charged for 1 min it means that this service is not fee.
HOW YOU EXPLAIN THIS????
I’m confused

Hi Yasirhayat,
As long as your cousin hangs up within 10 seconds, the call will not be charged as 1 minute. Just make sure that he hangs up straight away and you can wait as long as you need to for him to call back, you will not be charged. Hope this makes sense! -
Perfect it is working smoothly...I Love REBTEL....
-
Inappropriate?hey thats great now we can call our homes in pakistan at cheap call rates and also the sound qualty is great
-
Inappropriate?pakistan_is_now_a_rebtel_country and sound qualty is great . Thx rebtel team
I’m happy

Inappropriate?That is a nice saying. but keep in mind that international rate is not the lowest one you offer. because i am using also the Voip gain, voip blast, smart voip to call the Pakistan directly if any of my friends do not have a balance.
if your friends have balance then it is good service to not to pay the international rate.
As long as your concern is according to USA mobile operators. you are right, because you dont have to pay extra charges.
but if your concern is regarding Pakistan. then it is not cheap way to call directly from Pakistan using the service of Rebtel.
Becuase local Companies from Paksitan charging less than rebtel
like UFONE's new rates are just 0.612 rupee per 30 seconds tax included.
and 1.224 rupees per min tax included, equals to 1.47 cents per min tax included.
So if Rebtel wants to be top of all the companies then the rate should be round about 2 to 3 cents per min to call to pakistan.
then rebtel would be the best in international market.
But the one thing which i want to make sure that call quality is great.
and once again call quality is great.
thanks that all i want to say.2 Comments Add a comment

But if you want to call mobile phones in Australia or UK using rebtel is definately very cheap and I love this and due to rebtel my bill for calling mobile of UK has gone down. Normally it costs around Rs.16/min but using rebtel I can call @ Rs.0.60/20 sec including all taxes isn't is cheap

read my post next to your post
I hope that this will solve your concern.... -
Inappropriate?Dear you first register at Rebtel and then ADD your friends Pakistani No.
Rebtel will assign local no of UK against Phone No of Pakistani Friend
e.g. to call +92321xxxxxxx you will call 0208xxxxxxx
You will call that local No (0208xxxxxxx) of UK and bell rings in Pakistan. (+92321xxxxxxx)
You friend will pickup, he will see CLI of local Pakistani No (042xxxxxxx), and he will first pickup then disconnect the line within 10 sec, and will call back at (042xxxxxxx) the incoming no which he sees. KEEP IN MIND YOU WILL NOT DISCONNECT INSTEAD WAIT as you will start hearing ringing bell tone when your friend disconnects ...
Now REBTEL will connect you both when your friend calls back and he will not heat any tone call connects instantly as he dials the local no (042xxxxxxx)...
NONE of you is paying International cost intead you are paying your local calling cost and friend in pakistan is paying his local(depends from where he lives) currently Lahore AND Karachi Nos appear.
PS. The incoming no is not of PTCL thus that No is not free from Landline and the call charges to these nos from PTCL is Rs.2/min not Rs.2/3min or FREE if your friend has local/Nationwide free calls package as those package only applies if you call to PTCL network.
From Mobile standard rates from Mobile to PTCL applies.....
IN SHORT IF YOU LIVE IN UK THEN YOU SHOULD USE REBTEL IF YOU WANT TO CALL YOUR FRIEND FROM MOBILE OR IF HE WANTS TO TALK TO YOU IF YOU ARE MOBILE.
Calling on landline in UK from Pakistan is almost same or less than calling REBTEL Local No. of Pakistan from Pakistan i.e
From PTCL Rs.2/min for calling Uk Land line and Rs.2/min for Rebtel No.
From Mobile calling Uk is cheaper or same for landline depending upon your package.
I’m confident

No need to add any balance to use free calling facility.
You can only use this facility from the registered No not any Phone
Dear When you register you will get free 5 minutes of calling any where in world. When your balance expires you can only talk for 10 sec and call will automatically drops after 10 sec.
To optimize this instantly say please call me back to the one on listening end and he should be trained enough to disconnect preferrably before 10 sec, and if 10 sec are gone you should stay and hearing party should dial the No he sees on screen....
Hope Tail is Gone now......LOL -
Inappropriate?@yasirhayat.
I already confirmed, the incoming number for Pakistan either karachi or lahore is a ptcl number. Therefore the charge is Rs2/3minutes call.2 Comments Add a comment

Inappropriate?@yasirhayat.
Today just to confirm, I emailed customer service to confirm if the local number generated in Karachi and Lahore are PTCL or not. The following is the reply I got from Rebtel customer service:
"Hi,
Thanks for contacting us!
All of our Pakistani numbers are PTCL numbers.
Let me know if you require any further assistance!
Best regards,
Danielle
