Prepaid data SIM in Malta - Is there one??

[Richard10002]

As per the heading - having been spoiled in the UK with T-Mobile, Spain with Yoigo, and Italy with TIM and WIND, next stop is Malta, (but not till September or October), but I cant find any evidence of there being a data sim available.

Thanks again

Our collegues always buy a GoMobile SIM when they go there (we have a factory on Malta).
They charge 1.20 Euro per MB of data, 60kb increments.
Calls to Europe are up to 1.09 Euro/min - so take an international card with you too if you have.

Me too.

I emailed gomobile and got this reply:

Thank you for your email. In reply to your query, kindly note that you may buy a prepaid go mobile sim card at any one of our contact centres. We would then need to activate your sim card for gprs and also set up your phone with the necessary wap settings.

The cost of grps on a prepaid sim card is 0.03c per 60KB.
We hope the above information will prove to be useful, however, should you require any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us back on customercare@gomobile.com.mt.

GOmobile, Fra Diego Street, Marsa, MRS 1501, Malta.

I assume this is not limited to WAP.

1.2 euro per Mb..... not cheap and probably only suitable for email and very quick web browsing.

I had a look at the Vodafone site but couldnt make any sense of it. I think there are only 2 suppliers at present.

There's a chance I may be there long enough to make a contract worthwhile - We'll see how we like it when we get there.
