Act fast - Free calls to India using Rebtel/Pfingo

Update: Rebtel folks did see this, and now they have disabled joining bonus/voucher campaigns for those registrations made using Singapore 3-Series numbers. Hope many readers utilized this offer. and I congratulate rebtel for their prompt action in fixing this, They took only one week for implementing and rolling out the fix. Hope you will consider the OAuth issue that i mentioned.

Hope, by now you are much familiar with the "Multiply Rebtel Minutes" hack. The folks @ Rebtel will definitely notice this and will stop this usage soon. What they could do is to disable registrations with the Virtual Numbers in Singapore, which are the numbers starting with 3. So, go ahead and get your credits now.

To Rebtel folks, I wrote to you some time back in April about OAuth. You did not listen to it. This was the content I posted.

Hi,

Why don't you use OAuth to access web mail address books? Asking users, their credentials of other services has some concerns; even if you claim that you won’t be storing users account credentials in your server.

Flickr's recent "add contacts" has implemented OAuth. You can also do that.

Hi!

Priyan,

I will certainly forward your suggestion to our developers.

But nothing happened. Rebtel is still asking for password, instead of implementing the API.

At least take some action now. This will increase trust on Rebtel, I guess!

Love you Rebtel!

Update: Wordpress to use OAuth
