Cameroonians in U.S. Keep International Calls Home Short and Sweet

First-Ever Report on U.S. Calling Habits to Cameroon Finds Call Quality and Ease of Use More Important Than Lower Rates When Choosing International Phone Service

SAN FRANCISCO, April 15, 2010 - A new study issued this month shows several remarkable changes in the
ways people in the U.S. are communicating with family and friends in the
central western African Republic of Cameroon.

The research, provided by the Internet phone company, Rebtel
(www.rebtel.com), shows several fascinating facts and findings based
on its calling volume in the first three months of 2010.

    - Saturdays, Sundays and Tuesdays are the days that most Cameroonians
      abroad call home.
    - The largest number of calls to Cameroon from the U.S. originate in
      Maryland, Texas, Georgia and California.
    - The vast majority of calls go to mobile phones vs. landlines.
    - Average call duration to Cameroon from the U.S. is just 5.6 minutes.

Among the more than 1,000 survey respondents, 85.9% of calls are to
family, 12.3% are to friends, and only 1.8% call business associates in
Cameroon, where MTM Mobile and Orange Mobile are the hands-down leading
mobile phone providers.

Top U.S. Cities Calling Cameroon:

    1. West Maryland (Silver Spring, Frederick, Gaithersburg, Camp Springs,
       Prince George's County)
    2. Houston, Tx.
    3. Atlanta, Ga. and suburbs
    4. Oklahoma City
    5. East Maryland (Baltimore, Annapolis, Chesapeake Bay area, Ocean City)
    6. Dallas, Tx.
    7. Washington, D.C.
    8. St. Paul, Minn.
    9. West Los Angeles (Beverly Hills, West Hollywood)
    10. Fort Worth, Tx.

"Reliable and clear connections, combined with service ease of use and
low rates are driving a significant increase in international calling to
Cameroon from the U.S. on Rebtel," said Andreas Bernstrom, Rebtel CEO.

Of the Cameroonians participating in the survey, 78.8% said Rebtel call
quality was noticeably better than other phone services for calling family in
Cameroon; 86% said Rebtel was easier to use. And just over half - 50.2% -
said Rebtel rates consistently beat the competition.

Starting this month Rebtel, which works with any carrier or phone, cut
its calling rates to 15.5 cents per minute to landlines in Cameroon and 20
cents per minute to mobile phones, representing a 3% and 15% reduction
respectively.

By comparison, Skype charges 32.8 cents per minute to landlines in
Cameroon and 31.4 to mobile phones. AT&T charges 49 cents per minute to
landlines in Cameroon and 61 to mobile phones for customers who pay US$3.99 a
month for an international calling plan. And calling cards, which promise
outlandishly low rates per minute, are tough to figure out actual cost
because the small print reveals hidden charges such as 3 minute rounding, per
minute surcharges, connection fees, and weekly fees.

Founded in 2006, Stockholm-based Rebtel was established to give people
around the world an alternative to mobile operators' rip-off rates for making
international calls. Today, thousands of Cameroonians living in the U.S. use
Rebtel every day to call family at home.

Rebtel has been ranked No. 1 in international calling by Technology
Appraisals and has been featured in USA Today, The New York Times, San
Francisco Chronicle, and The International Herald Tribune for its unique
calling service.
