About Malta Mobile Guide — Independent Telecom Comparisons Since 2022
Malta Mobile Guide was founded in 2022 out of pure frustration. Our founder had just moved to Malta and spent an entire weekend visiting GO, Melita, and Vodafone (now Epic) shops, collecting brochures, and trying to figure out which postpaid plan offered the best value for a remote worker who needed reliable data and occasional international calls. The experience was exhausting — every operator presented their plans differently, buried important details in footnotes, and made it nearly impossible to compare offerings side by side. That weekend project — a simple spreadsheet comparing every available plan — became the seed of what is now Malta's most visited independent mobile comparison site. Today, our database tracks over 150 active plans across all three operators, and our interactive 5G and 4G coverage maps are used by tens of thousands of residents, tourists, and expats every month. Our editorial independence is non-negotiable. We do not accept payments, sponsorships, or affiliate commissions from GO, Melita, or Epic. Our recommendations are based entirely on objective criteria: price per gigabyte, network performance data, contract flexibility, customer service ratings, and real-world coverage testing. When we highlight a plan as 'Best Value,' it's because the numbers support it — not because an operator asked us to. Beyond comparisons, we're passionate about consumer education. We publish guides explaining EU roaming regulations, number portability procedures, eSIM technology, and data privacy rights. We believe that informed consumers make better choices, put healthy pressure on operators to compete fairly, and ultimately benefit Malta's entire telecom ecosystem. Our team conducts monthly speed tests across Malta and Gozo using standardised methodology, contributes to open data initiatives, and collaborates with the Malta Communications Authority on consumer awareness projects. We're proud to be a trusted resource for locals and visitors alike, and we're committed to keeping this guide free, accurate, and genuinely useful for years to come.
