Mobile phones and mobile broadband

HI Eagle ,

I'm sorry I have no experience with the different mobile broadband options but I will ask around on our next Friday meeting ( 13 th Nov.) and see if I can get some info for you. We have a few IT guys around -))) I will get back to you .
Regards


Ricky

Thank you Ricky, what about your experiences with any of the providers? I've only read some horror stories from Melita, nothing for Go or vodafone.
So I think its an option between these two

Hi Eagle,

I don't have mobile internet but use Melita internet at home .I'm not very happy with the performance ( it keeps dropping !) but not sure if it is Melita or the crappy wiring in our area.In any case the internet account is through our landlord so I won't change that as we are probably moving sooner or later.Others seem fine with Melita. So I will ask around the Expats and see if there are any major differences between the providers.Should have feedback within a week or two .

Hi Eagle
I would suggest that you check on the billing rate for packet data before you make your decision. I have a prepaid vodafone sim card, and I can tell you that mobile broadband is stupendously expensive with it. I used 3G to go online when I arrived in Malta, and it literally blew 10 Euros in 20 minutes on checking my email and using skype (text only. I then called vodafone customer care to ask if an alternate solution is available (such as converting prepaid credit to a certain amount of megabytes beforehand) - and they said that they do not offer these incentives/deals on prepaid. I do know that these so called, 'data-bundle packages' are available in other countries for prepaid, but not in Malta with Vodafone.
Other than that the service was good, and have been satisfied with the customer care.
