Rebtel, which calls itself the world’s second largest mobile VoIP company after Skype, launched a new version of its mobile app for Android. The update was released just in time for New Year’s Day, or what the company is calling “Hello Sunday” or the “Black Friday of international calling.”
Perhaps the main new feature of this release is called KeepTalking that is made for situations when the Wi-Fi/3G connection is not good enough to sustain a call. In such instances, Rebtel allows users to simply press a button to seamlessly improve the connection by jumping from data to the operator network and still be able to call for free using Rebtel’s local numbers network.
But that’s not all – Rebtel 2.0 for Android also sports a revamped Contacts tab, which categorizes your phone book so you can see who you can call for next to nothing and who you can call for free.
Unfortunately, tablet support is still missing and so does compatibility with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. That said, we’re pretty confident that some even newer version is in development as we speak to address the two issues…
