Melita Mobile said today it had introduced the cheapest mobile rates for roaming in EU countries.

It said calls made from any EU country to another now cost 47 cents (VAT included) for the first 30 seconds and then on a per second basis. Incoming calls on Melita Mobile cost 18 cents (VAT included) per minute while roaming in any EU country.

The reductions are applicable from yesterday. SMS rates have also been reduced to 13 cents (VAT included)whilst roaming in any EU country.

"We are living up to our cheaper, simpler, better promise across all our mobile services and products to the extent of introducing even cheaper roaming rates ahead of EU requirements. According to EU obligations, we could have introduced our present roaming rates in 2010, however Melita Mobile chose to offer all its subscribers an even cheaper roaming service from now," said Daniel Galea, Melita's Product Manager for Mobile services.

He said Melita Mobile also offered 30% cheaper local call rates, a flat rate of 10cents per call to all Melita Mobile and Melita fixed-line numbers for the entire duration of all calls, no time windows on pre-paid credit, per second billing and a single monthly bill for all services.
