I did not see a THREAD on rebtel; did I miss it?

Rate to US to Germany, France (my next travel destinations) was about the same on both services. Mobivox has MORE local access numbers in both Germany and France, for instance.

Unless I have read the site incorrectly, rebtel calls ALWAYS cost money. With mobivox calls AMONG REGISTERED USERS are FREE under certain conditions (land line to land line, some mobiles including US, skype -- up to 250 minute limit). Thus, if my brother-in-law in Germany registers, my wife could call him FOR FREE @ his residence (land line) from our home phone. He could call us @ home or on mobiles from his mobile FOR THE PRICE OF A LOCAL MOBILE CALL; now, assuming he has "free" or relatively cheap weekend or night minutes, that means 0 international long distance charges. Ditto brother-in-law in Australia and other relatives in Germany.
