Back in May, we reported that Maltacom was about to change its cardphone network, with the roll-out starting on September. Well, September is here and Maltacom are about to get the project running. In an announcement on Maltacom's website, the public can now see the details of what is about to happen. To summarise, the old cardphones will be replaced between September and October, but 100 old phones distributed in various localities will be left there for now so that the public will have time to use up the old cards (new phones are not compatible with the current cards).
The most interesting part of the announcement, however, is the new tariff structure. Starting from 18th September 2006, a call from a cardphone to a fixed line will cost 5c9 per 2.5 minutes (charged in chunks of 5c9), while a call to a mobile phone will cost 6c2 for every 15 seconds, translating to 24c8 per minute! That's not all - the new cardphones will support calls using the Ten21 VoIP service with a tariff of 1c5 per minute to a large number of countries. So, in other words, a 2 minute call to someone with a fixed line in Malta will cost you 5c9, while a similar call to the USA will cost you 3c! We guess it's time to politely ask your friends to emigrate.
