New discount packages to provide easier access to communications services for people with specific needs, have been launched by Melita, in partnership with the Commission for the Rights of Persons with Disability (CRPD) and the Foundation for Information Technology Accessibility (FITA).

In a statement, Melita explained that among those who will benefit are individuals with a hearing impairment who tend to use video messaging on their mobile to communicate with friends and family. This means that they require a considerable amount of internet data.

Melita said it has therefore launched a new special offer which is designed to give the hearing-impaired access to endless data and SMS packages on a postpaid basis or the option to subscribe to the recently launched pre-paid Djuno product, at a discounted price.

This special discount is available to both existing and new Melita customers who have a hearing impairment and can be obtained by sending an email with the customer’s ID card number to the CRPD on helpdesk@crpd.org.mt

The company said that, once verified, the CRPD will send a letter to both the applicant and Melita to confirm eligibility for these special packages.

Melita is also offering discounts across its range of mobile, internet and TV products to FITA members. These discounts are available to all those who present their FITA membership card when subscribing to Melita services.
