History
Rebtel launched in 2006 offering low-cost international calling by routing calls through local access numbers. The company later expanded into mobile applications, VoIP-based services, subscription calling plans, and mobile top-ups.
Between 2018 and 2023, Rebtel introduced additional services such as international money transfer and, in selected markets, last-mile delivery under the Mandao brand. Both initiatives were discontinued in 2025 as the company refocused on its core communications offering.
In April 2025, Rebtel appointed Leo Kia as CEO, signaling a strategic shift toward accelerating growth, modernizing the company’s product and technology stack, and deprioritizing dividends in favor of reinvestment.[3]
