easyJet, easyInternetface, easyCar… and now easyMobile.

easyGroup, the revolutionary brand that has brought low-cost airfare, Internet and rentals to Europe is now launching “the world’s cheapest phone call service”, easyMobile, in partnership with Rebtel.

The two companies have teamed up to offer Rebtel-powered services for making low cost international phone calls from any mobile phone, over any UK network, which will be sold and marketed on easyGroup’s Web site.

“Making international calls using traditional mobile phone operators is no longer the most cost effective and efficient way of staying in touch,” said Anthony Robb-John, Managing Director of easyGroup IP. “Mobile VoIP works and is easy to use. There is a big market for this kind of service to and from the UK.”

Congratulations to Hjalmar Winbladh and the Rebtel team!
