When you travel within the EU & UK you’ll be able to use your phone as you do in Malta, without extra charges, and incoming calls or SMS will be free. If your plan includes allowances for calls, SMS or data, your usage in the EU & UK will be counted exactly as if you were at home in Malta, and if you use more than your monthly allowance any charges will be charged as if you were in Malta.
However, if your plan includes free calls or SMS allowances to Melita numbers, it’s important to remember that as soon as you leave Malta you won’t be using the Melita network. Calls or SMS to Melita numbers will be deducted from any allowances of calls or SMS to other networks, or your standard rates to call or send SMS to other networks will apply.

The above information gives the network generations and technologies that are available in optimal conditions. While Melita aims to provide customers with the best possible roaming service, some aspects are not fully within our control.
Whilst roaming, the service quality relies on the roaming partner’s network build, quality, coverage and technological factors, other third party influences and local policies. This might lead to a lower quality of service when compared to using the service locally: issues such as dropped calls, lost or undelivered SMS, slower internet speeds or other connectivity issues may occur.
Other factors include, but are not limited to: roaming network coverage limitations based on geographical, architectural limitations, number of users on the network and within the same area as well as other seasonal activities and circumstances, weather conditions, temporary and permanent service outages, roaming capacity and bandwidth limitations as well as other non-disclosed service quality preferences and priorities of the third party roaming service providers over which Melita has no control. These factors might result in significant differences on the upload and download speeds when roaming compared to the speed and service in Malta.
Content and application-specific access and service quality may be affected whilst roaming based on the content provider’s policies, technological limitations and how certain locations, countries and geographical regions are serviced by the service providers. All these imply that the service level might vary as it might be localised or more restricted during roaming. Certain content applications may also consume a larger amount of data whilst roaming, leading to data allowances being used up more quickly.
To ensure the best possible experience Melita encourages customers to always keep their handsets and other devices up to date, by installing the latest operating system plus checking device settings to enable, or control service access. In case of roaming service disruption manual network selection as well as resetting your connection by rebooting the device and/or turning on and off airplane mode is recommended to ensure the best possible experience.
