GO have announced that as from the 1st of July they have reduced their international roaming rates in line with EU directives on the matter. Voice call rates of €0.51 (inclusive of VAT) apply whilst roaming in any EU country and calling any EU destination. The SMS rate has decreased to €0.13 (inclusive of VAT) whilst roaming in any EU country.

At the same time, data/ internet roaming rates have been reduced and now GO offers the lowest data roaming rates via several of its roaming network providers in the EU.

GO’s Chief Operations Officer Norbert Prihoda said GO offers the best level of international roaming service compared to local competition and at par with international operators, with far-reaching worldwide coverage spanning all continents, "Our mobile roaming coverage is available in close to 200 countries worldwide thanks to roaming agreements with over 400 operators. In each EU country, we have roaming agreements with a minimum of two 3G networks, thus ensuring fast internet and data throughout even when abroad."

Data roaming in any EU country for GO contract (post-paid/ Pay Monthly) mobile customers costs €5 per MB, charged with 1 KB increments. However, GO offers a specially reduced rate of €2.50, charged with 1 KB increments, meaning that a GO roaming customer pays only €0.0024 for every KB consumed. This rate applies when roaming on the following networks: Austria (T-Mobile), Belgium (Mobistar), Czech Republic (Telefonica O2), Finland (Sonera), France (Orange), Germany (T-Mobile), Ireland (O2), Italy (TIM), Latvia (LMT), Netherlands (T-Mobile), Slovakia (T-Mobile), Spain (Telefonica Movistar), Sweden (TeliaSonera) and UK (T-Mobile). All set up charges have been removed and all charges are charged on a per KB basis, and therefore customers just pay for what they use.

GO Pay As You GO mobile customers using data roaming in the EU countries are charged the standard rate of €8 per MB, charged with 64 KB increments.

GO’s roaming service is available for both Pay As You GO and contract (post-paid) customers.

Whilst roaming, GO customers can call customer care from their mobile phone on short-code 146 or +356 79222 146. For more information visit www.go.com.mt
