Melita Mobile has teamed up with Italian telecom giant Telecom Italia to offer full worldwide mobile roaming services to all its customers from the very first day of operation, which is today. Through this agreement, Melita Mobile has access to almost 600 third party mobile operators across the globe in more than 200 countries for a full international mobile roaming service.

Starting today, Melita Mobile subscribers can make and receive international calls from friends, colleagues and family members abroad and, likewise, enjoy access to full mobile services when travelling overseas.

True to its promise to rock the market with the best prices, simpler and more transparent tariffs and better service, Melita Mobile divides international roaming in eight different regions:

• Region 1 – EU countries

• Region 2 – Non-EU countries

• Region 3 – Asia

• Region 4 – the Caribbean and South America

• Region 5– North Africa and the Middle East

• Region 6 – North America

• Region 7 – the rest of Africa

• Region 8 – Oceania (Australia and New Zealand)

Eight regions with eight simple rates for international voice and video calls, one simple tariff for SMS and one simple roaming rate for MMS, WEB and WAP browsing, which only vary according to usage.

Melita Mobile subscribers have peace of mind that the different methods of communication by mobile are constantly available during overseas travelling.

Roaming is a general term in wireless telecommunications that refers to the extending of connectivity service in a location that is different from the home location where the service was registered.

It is the ability for a mobile customer to automatically make and receive voice calls, send and receive data, or access other services, including home data services, when travelling outside the geographical coverage area of the home network, by using a visited network.

Melita Mobile is rocking the mobile market in Malta with cheaper prices, simpler and more transparent price structures and better mobile services. Melita Mobile eliminates expensive monthly mobile bills and complicated tariffs, making it simple for customers to understand what they are paying for and to make use of the service.
