Similar promise, different mechanics
Talk360 is a straightforward pay-as-you-go app: top up (from $5, or the local-currency equivalent), see the per-country rate, and dial - the person you call needs nothing but a normal phone. Rebtel takes a different route technically, generating a local access number per contact so your side of the call can even come from a landline. Both require installing their app before any of that works.
