What is Rebtel
Service overview
Rebtel is a mobile calling service that offers low-cost international calls and subscription plans for unlimited calling to selected countries.
It works over Wi‑Fi or mobile data and also offers pay‑as‑you‑go credits and in‑app purchases for small credit bundles.
How it works
You sign up with an account, choose a subscription or buy credits, and place calls via the Rebtel app or web account.
Subscriptions renew automatically every 30 days until you cancel them manually from your account.
How to cancel Rebtel
Important note before you start
Uninstalling the app does not cancel your subscription. You must log in and cancel manually either in the app or on the website.
Follow the steps below to ensure the subscription is deactivated and billing stops.
Step-by-step cancellation (app and web)
What happens when you cancel
Access and service
When you deactivate a subscription, the plan will stop renewing at the end of the current billing period.
Depending on the subscription type, you may retain access until the paid period expires; check your subscription tile for exact end dates.
Billing and account data
Subscriptions renew every 30 days and continue until you cancel manually.
Cancelling does not automatically delete account data; account termination is a separate process that can be requested and completes within five days.
Will I get a refund?
General refund policy
Unused Rebtel Credits may be refundable if you submit a request within 90 days of purchase.
Subscriptions are generally non‑refundable unless they are unused; refunds are discretionary and must be requested within the 90‑day window.
Exceptions and how to request
- Non‑refundable items include intro deals, welcome offers, minute buckets, vouchers, and gift tokens.
- Refund requests must be in writing (e.g., email to [email protected] or using "Report a problem") and can be submitted in English, Spanish, or French.
- Allow up to 30 days for refund processing; disputes or chargebacks may lead to account locks. See official refund info: What are Rebtel's refund policies?

Your consumer rights in Singapore
Statutory protections
Singapore consumers are protected by consumer law such as the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act (CPFTA), which targets unfair trading practices and misleading claims.
These statutory rights are separate from Rebtel’s own refund and subscription terms.
How rights interact with Rebtel policies
- Rebtel’s stated refund window is 90 days post‑charge; act within this timeframe if you believe a charge is erroneous.
- There is no automatic 14‑day cooling‑off for digital services under Rebtel’s terms; local law may provide additional remedies in certain cases.
Customer experiences
Positive feedback
Many users praise clear call quality, straightforward setup, reasonable pricing, and long‑lasting credit balances.
Some reviewers also note helpful customer service and transparency in pricing.
Negative feedback
Complaints include unexpected recurring charges, difficulty cancelling when the app or account access is problematic, and delayed or unresolved refund requests.
There are reports of connectivity problems and at least one extreme billing dispute where calls were routed via a mobile carrier causing a large bill.
Documentation checklist
What to gather before contacting support
- Account email and username used with Rebtel.
- Transaction receipts, purchase dates, and amounts for the charges in question.
- Screenshots showing subscriptions, billing history, or error messages.
What to include in a refund or disputes request
- A clear written description of the problem in English (or Spanish/French if preferred).
- Relevant dates and evidence of non‑usage or double charges.
- A requested resolution (refund, cancellation confirmation, account termination) and preferred contact details.
Common mistakes
Assuming uninstall = cancel
A common error is uninstalling the Rebtel app and assuming subscriptions stop. Uninstalling the app does not cancel billing.
Always log into your account and deactivate the subscription as instructed in the app or on the website.
Missing the refund window
Waiting too long to request refunds is another frequent mistake; Rebtel’s policy requires requests within 90 days for consideration.
If you suspect an erroneous charge, collect evidence promptly and contact support in writing.
