Rebtel

A great top of the morning to you all. I heard about today's app from a friend. It used to be available through their website only but they also released this iPhone app.
How does this Rebtel system work? Well you create an account, provide your payment options and based on your location it will give you a local number. You have to log in having your telephone number as credential. Every time you add a long distance contact, Rebtel will provide you with a local number that you can call. That number actually forwards to your contact's real phone number. You have to be careful because if you use it, you can incur charges from your cell phone provider. I used it so to say a bit more recklessly one month and i ran over my minutes. But if you are careful or if you have unlimited minutes you should be just fine.
With the new Rebtel app, you can import contacts, add contacts, place calls, get rates for your call and other awesomely great features. Even in the contacts area of the app, you can see what the rate is. You can recharge your account manually or let it replenish itself once the funds run out.
If you need to call long distance you can use this app with confidence. Downloading it is free.
This app is compatible with iPhone OS 3.0 or later, and is rated 4+.

Below you can find some screenshots of the app:
