The Trade Fair is with us, Summer is in full swing, and the time when a large number of Maltese people go abroad on holiday is here as well. So, at this strategic time of year, Maltacom decided to launch a new service for those who will be going abroad: Call Home.
With this service, Maltacom is offering you the option of instead having to carry phone cards around when abroad, all you'd have to do is pick up any phone anywhere, dial a toll free number, and then dial the Maltese number you want to dial. The person receiving the call will listen to a message asking whether to accept the call - for which s/he will have to pay. That way, you can call your mom at home making sure she will incur the full cost of the call. The rates are quite cheap - to quote some - 1c5/min from Australia, 5c/min from Italy, etc. There are some catches though. Some payphones require a card before they even give you a dial tone. Also, upon successful call connection - that is once the person on the other end picks up the phone and accepts the call, a connection fee of 17c7 is charged. The connection fee is only charged at the beginning of the call, and doesn't depend on the duration of the call.
