Rebtel Hack: Making calls to Blocked Numbers

Disclaimer: This trick is making use of a flaw in Rebtel to make unlimited free calls to same destination. I am not good in legal stuffs. If you feel that this is against any law, don't use it. USE it your own risk, and i cannot be held responsible or liable for the consequences of any use of these tricks.

Did you ever hear below message while making calls to India
"We are Sorry; But you can't use your free minutes to this destination. Please add some credit @ www.rebtel.com".

To avoid misuse of the free talk-time, rebtel tracks your call usage and once you exceed the limit to certain number, they simply block it. No matter which account you use. But there is a simple work around. It's similar to the unlimited minutes hack. Yet rebtel doesn't know the length of Cellular / Land line numbers in each country. So, once your destination is blocked by rebtel, just append a digit or more to it's end.

For example,
If Rebtel has blocked the Original Destination number 9123456789, that point onwards use the number 91234567890 through 912345678999 to reach 9123456789. Just simple as that.

How this hack works - the back-end?
  • Providers ignores any digits after the real number when relaying a voice call to the traditional network.
  • Yet rebtel doesn't know the length of Cellular / Land line numbers in each country allowing us to append digits to the real number
