Best Tarriffs to phone landlines in Malta

Hi all!

I'm currently on an O2 PAYG phone, and get calls to Malta (EU) landlines for 10p/min. Looking for something else; would consider both contract phone (for about £15pm) or PAYG - requirements are free min/texts to UK and cheap calls to Malta.

Any ideas would be very much appreciated! =)

    Probably cheapest is what my mate had - a phone with wi-fi built in, and would then make calls over the net from his mobile when there was an internet connection nearby. I think it would probably need to be a phone with a symbian OS or Windows Mobile (on which you'd have to put the appropriate software), maybe someone else will knwo the technical details.

  • Thanks for your reply! Unfortunately I'm not able to use WiFi as I use my phone on the go and there's almost no unsecured WiFi spots close to where I usually work/live.

    I was thinking of any packages or 'add-ons' anyone knew about that might be more worthwhile than O2's International Bolt-On!

    The virtual mobile brands IDT Lebara and Nomi all have 7 pence a minute direct dialled calls to Malta landlines. Using T-mobile with Yourcallworld would be 8p/min

    If you get a mobile contract for other calls, then see the MSE Callchecker for using callthrough services with your inclusive minutes - choose those with ordinary access numbers not 0844 numbers.
