Vodafone Malta Limited has launched The Vodafone Travel Promise, offering customers simplicity and better value for roaming services.

Vodafone customers are now able to call home at local rates with only a connection fee added per call.

For the same connection fee, Vodafone customers will be able to receive calls at no additional cost.

"The Vodafone Travel Promise is extremely simple and transparent since the customer's home prices will apply plus a 50 cents charge per call when abroad," said Vodafone's chief commercial officer, Paul Bahia.

"So if the customer's Malta price plan is 10c a minute for local calls and he or she uses the phone on Vodafone UK to call Malta the charge will be just 50 cents plus the 10c rate a minute. When the customer receives a call the charge will be 50 cents after which the call will be free for up to 10 minutes,"

The Vodafone Travel Promise is available to Vodafone customers in Albania, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Netherlands, UK, Australia, Japan and New Zealand.

To activate the Vodafone Travel Promise, customers can contact customer service on 247 or visit any Vodafone retail outlet.
