With Melita Mobile you can access your favourite websites and your email while travelling within the EU for the cheapest rates. Melita Mobile has introduced a super-low rate for mobile data usage within the EU, starting from as little as e2.99 per Megabyte downloaded without any time limits on usage.

Wherever they are travelling within the European Union, Melita Mobile customers can check their email, browse their favourite websites, sign into Facebook or chat via instant messaging through their 3G mobile phones whilst having the peace of mind of paying the lowest rate possible for roaming mobile data usage. The new roaming data tariff applies to both pay-as-you-go and contract customers.

Melita Mobile also offers Malta’s cheapest rates for local mobile data usage, starting from as little as 10 cents per Megabyte downloaded without any time limits on usage and charged in chunks of 1 KB. This means that Melita Mobile customers using their mobile internet in Malta who download approximately 100kb will only be charged approximately 1 cent.

Melita Mobile’s nationwide 3G network allows all customers to enjoy fast and reliable internet access throughout Malta and Gozo as well as in more than 200 countries around the world. Customers can enjoy the convenience of staying in touch 24/7, with full internet access from anywhere in Malta and Gozo, as well as while travelling for business and pleasure at any time, through a 3G mobile phone.

“We have invested e40 million in our mobile network to offer all Melita Mobile customers a cheaper, simpler and better option for their mobile phone connections and this also includes fast, reliable and the cheapest internet access from mobile phones. Melita Mobile offers all this, coupled with a fast and reliable internet connection on your 3G mobile phones to keep you connected – wherever you are,” said Mr Daniel Galea, Product Manager for Melita Mobile.

Melita’s fully fledged 3G-only mobile network provides Melita Mobile customers with a full coverage across the Maltese Islands, full roaming facilities across more than 200 countries and internet access all over the world.

This is not the first time that Melita has pioneered breakthroughs in the Maltese mobile market. Recently, Melita Mobile took the unprecedented step of absorbing the cost of all the taxes that are levied on mobile phone top-up cards so that whenever a prepaid Melita subscriber tops up a mobile account they get back the exact top-up value shown on the card. This is unlike what happens with other local mobile operators, who deduct that VAT and the Excise tax from the value of the top-up that has been paid by the subscriber.

Last February, Melita Mobile also eliminated time windows on pre-paid mobile credit. Melita Mobile is now extending this trend to offer the super low mobile internet access rate while roaming without any restricting time windows – truly offering a cheaper, simpler and better option for all those mobile internet users.

“Whether in business or in leisure, portable connectivity to the internet and email has become an important aspect of our everyday lives. With an increasingly hectic lifestyle, people have become more reliant on their mobile phones and their ability to connect them with their friends, family and work back home. For this reason, we have worked to ensure that Melita Mobile is able to offer this reliable and fast connection to the internet within Malta and Gozo, as well as around the world, at a cheaper rate,” Mr Galea added.

Melita Mobile also offers 30 per cent cheaper local mobile call rates, a flat rate of 10 cents per call to all Melita Mobile and Melita fixed-line numbers for the entire duration of all your calls, no time windows on pre-paid credit, per second billing, the convenience of single monthly billing for all services and video calls at the same call rate as standard voice calls.
