How to make free calls from Skype (5) rebtel+tropo

Speaking of rebtel, you can make free unlimited 10 seconds international phone calls to most mobile and landline in the world from rebtel PC softphone, However, too much softphones at computer will be not a good idea, rebtel offers free SkypeIn but doesn't offer SkypeOut. If you are using an USA number to register at Rebtel, you can make Free Calls From Skype Via Tropo by using Rebtel access number.  When rebtel PC softphone has problem, you can still make free call from PC.  Wanna know how it works? Here are the steps:


If Skype = Mobile Phone, then
Tropo = SIM card
Rebtel = Fee



Step 1: Get a rebtel account with your USA number

1. Sign up rebtel with your USA phone number (if you don't have one, just go to our sidebar, find the FREE VIRTUAL NUMBERS, then click Phone Numbers-USA or Phone Numbers-Worldwide to get one.  (Google voice is not available to register at Rebtel now because too much abuse)


If you don't want to have one, you can use search or make one by yourself, how to make one? For example Search any real USA phone numbers, e.g: 3173701000, then you can use 3173701001 to register at Rebtel, at the moment, USA number that register at rebtel needn't verify, so you can use this way to make your own one.

2.  Add a friend's phone number so as to get a local access number for you to call. For example I register my phone number 3173701001, then I add my UK friend number 0044-7924001000, then I got an USA access number 3174890214, when I call this number 3174890214, by using CallerID 3173701001, then my UK friend number 0044-7924001000 will rings.


In all Registered phone 3173701001 call access number 3174890214 (This is USA phone to USA phone call, in Tropo, you have have unlimited Free Calls to USA)


3174890214 will be forwarded to 0044-7924001000 free by Rebtel (10 seconds each time). 


Now, next step we will talk about how to set it up at Tropo.

Step 2: Set your Rebtel numbers at Tropo

Get a Free Tropo account and set up an application according to this post:

Please make sure to change the code at Step 6 to the bolow ones by adding the providers' access number and callerID (your registered phone number).

say("Thank you, Connecting to UK now"); transfer("+13174890214", { callerID:"3173701001"});
CallerID:"3173701001" is the Registered USA number at Rebtel
+13174890214 is the access number for UK number 0044-7924001000


Changed them to yours. 

When finished, you will get some numbers at your Tropo application, one of them is the Skype Voice e.g:+990009369991480655 

Step 3: Call this number e.g:+990009369991480655 or 00990009369991480655 at your Skype (don't worry, it is free calls, no charge at all), the UK number 0044-7924001000 rings.

    {

           say("Connecting UK");

           transfer("+13174890214", { callerID:"3173701001"});

    }

if (result.value == "2")

    {

           say("Connecting China");

           transfer("+13174890215", { callerID:"3173701001"});

    }

if (result.value == "3")

    {

           say("Connecting Australia");

           transfer("+13174890216", { callerID:"3173701001"});

           say("thank you, connecting you to whistlephone");
