Interesting process, but unless you are absolutely, completely, flat-ass broke, there is zero reason to jump through that many hoops to call anywhere, and then put up with delay for your trouble.

Using any number of calling cards, you can call directly to your friend in France, for under $0.02/min or cells under $0.10/min (Nobelcom). You make, and they receive, just the one call, and you don't need to use a website to set up, you don't have a time-delay making the conversation-- usually with a non-native speaker on one end or the other-- that much more complicated, and most importantly, you don't have to wonder why they capitalize REB sometimes.

I'll admit the REBin service is novel, and the website looks the part. The 'Beta' logo is the first thing to show up, they use Arial Round extensively, and nice Skypy colors, but those REBout rates are terrible.

"We don’t think that it’s okay to overcharge for international mobile phone calls." That's good news, I was concerned for a second when the France mobile rates were twice the market rate, I'll look forward to the cuts.
