Innovation in telephony

In the category "duh, why didn't I think of that!" is the Rebtel service, live from today. Rebtel enables you to give your friends abroad a local number in their own country to ring you at local rates and

"call anyone in the world using a local number and only pay your carrier for the local call, plus a small per-minute fee to Rebtel to cover the interconnect charges for the international part of the call."

Moreover, you can also use a kind of callback service that is even cheaper.

I'm looking forward to using that service, combined with free minuted/mobile flat rates this could be really cool. Btw, the team behind it has a pretty impressive trackrecord, and the company is completely self-financed, nor do they hope to raise any money externally.
