Vodafone cuts EU roaming rates

Vodafone Malta is cutting its voice, SMS and data rates for roaming across the EU from Wednesday for all 'Pay Monthly' tariff and prepaid customers.

The company has also simplified its rating structure for roaming charges.

Calls to any EU destination while roaming on any network in the EU now costs €0.50 per minute, charged per second after the first 30seconds.

SMS rates have been reduced by over 60 per cent: text messages sent while roaming across the EU now cost €0.13.

'Pay Monthly' tariff customers benefit from cheaper rates with Vodafone Passport: they are able to call home or the visited country at €0.23 per minute plus a €1 set-up charge per call. Receiving a call on any EU Vodafone Passport Network costs €0.70 for every 10 minutes. Data roaming rates for prepaid customers start at €0.05 per 10Kb; rates for 'Pay Monthly' tariff customers start from €0.03 per 10Kb.

For information, customers may contact Vodafone Customer Service on 247 from a Vodafone or on 9999 9247 from any other line. Alternatively, they can visit www.vodafone.com.mt or a Vodafone store.
