Where to Download the Rebtel App and How to Get Started
Updated
Rebtel is available for iOS and Android, and you can download it from the official site at rebtel.com. The homepage has an "Available for iOS and Android" section with a "Download the app" link that takes you to the right store for your device. Once installed, you can register, pick a destination country, and start calling; new users can also take up a limited-time offer before buying a plan.
Download the App
- Go to rebtel.com.
- Find the "Available for iOS and Android" section.
- Tap "Download the app" — this routes you to the App Store or Google Play depending on your device.
- Install the app and open it.
The site does not publish separate store links in the page text, so use the "Download the app" button as your entry point rather than searching for a direct URL.
Get Started After Installing
Rebtel's model is built around calling over a regular phone line rather than requiring an internet connection for the call itself. According to the site, it "automatically find[s] the best phone line to connect your call through" at "the best price," and it analyzes traffic to keep prices low. The app is where you manage your account and calling.
A practical starting sequence:
- Register in the app with your phone number.
- Select a country — the site lets you browse destinations A–Z, with popular ones like Cuba, Nigeria, Ethiopia, Bangladesh, Cameroon, Ghana, India, Pakistan, and the Philippines listed.
- Choose an offer or plan and complete checkout.
- Place your first call to a mobile or landline abroad.
Try Before You Commit
The site states your first call is free, and it lists limited offers for new users only:
| Destination | Trial Offer | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Cuba | 20 minutes for $5 | Buy now |
| Nigeria | 60 minutes for $1 | Buy now |
These "Buy now" buttons lead to Rebtel's checkout pages. Treat them as paid trial purchases, not free credits — the site frames them as limited offers for new users, and pricing beyond the listed trial amounts is not shown on the homepage.
Plans You May See at Checkout
The homepage highlights Global Unlimited: unlimited calling to 50 countries (mobile and landline) for $12/month. If your main need is frequent calling to one of those 50 countries, this is the plan to compare against the per-minute trial offers. The site does not list per-minute rates for every country on the homepage, so check the rate for your specific destination inside the app or at checkout before buying.
Common Stumbling Points
- No internet needed for calls — Rebtel connects through phone lines, so a weak Wi-Fi or data connection shouldn't block a call. You still need internet to download the app and manage your account.
- Trial offers are for new users only — don't expect the $1 or $5 trial pricing to renew.
- Check your country is covered — browse the A–Z country list or the popular destinations before purchasing, especially if you're calling a less common destination.
- Use the official entry point — download through the "Download the app" button on rebtel.com to avoid lookalike apps.
If you want to confirm coverage or pricing for a specific country before installing, the country selector on the homepage is the fastest way to check.
