I just recieved this over my e-mail from Mira and Ola here at Rebtel.

Sorry to be a bit of a besserwisser, since I must admit that Telefonica made some wonderful ads. But I doubt they're correct - they don't have the "the lowest call rates from Turkey to Sweden", nor "from Japan to Scotland". We'll be happy to allow you to make your call for the cost of a local one.
Still great ads - just for the wrong company!
I hope it hasn't been possible to miss the launch of the Reb Me application by Rebtel. It's got quite a bit of attention like here, here and here. Well, now we're getting ready to get the next version of the application in the works - but what do we want to add to it? We decided to involve the users - so now everyone can join in the development!
Check it out to learn about some bad examples! We have been sneak starting our application "Reb me" now on Facebook, we'll be happy to have some feedback :)
If you look at the previous post I made and the Rebtel blog I would say it's not only in such countries such as Bangladesh, India and Pakistan that regulators are tough - even the US has it's share of "old fat cats" want to keep their old revenue sources.
A lot of domains are taken over by disruptive force controlled by networks of people rather than single entities and it's just waiting to happen to the cellphone industry. In US the operators have control over who can send SMS on the network they even control who can route calls to them and use this power to block VoIP users.
However - it seems that the inevitable change to this is coming - Truphone has recently got a court order that T-Mobile has to stop blocking their calls... Seems like even the mammoths of telecom will need to budge.
The love is all around! :)
Check out the originals as well!

However, I feel that it's slightly easier to just use your normal address book. In the Rebtel blog today is a real easy to follow step-by-step guide to do what Jajah asks you - but well without having to go online even.
