Melita is offering the cheapest fixed-line call rate and 100 free minutes of talk time with every new fixed-line subscription at €5.99 per month.

New customers switching to Melita's fixed-line telephony can keep their existing 21-prefix numbers for free.

At €0.01 per minute for calls to any fixed line network and €0.23 per minute for calls to mobile networks, Melita's per-second billing structure provides good value.

Almost 50,000 households, offices and families are connected to Melita's telephony platform.

"Customers are aware of our cheapest fixed-line call rates and the demand for Melita's telephony has been increasing consistently. We are also experiencing a substantial increase in customers seeking to switch to Melita's fixed-line while keeping their existing 21 number.

"This number portability is a right protected by law. However, to make it even simpler, Melita is carrying the cost of this procedure to avoid additional costs for new fixed-line customers", Stephen Wright, Melita's chief operations officer explained.
