Roaming Services

Receving Calls and SMSes when roaming in EU is completely FREE of charge. Normal Roaming rates may apply whilat roaming in Non-EU countries. Check the applicable Non-EU roaming rates on your plan on: www.epic.com.mt/international

To make a call, remember to dial the country prefix. For example if your are calling a Maltese number, make sure that you have dialled the Maltese prefix i.e. 00356 before your friend’s number, or else the call will not reach your friend.

Callers from Malta just have to use your local number as normal. Callers from other foreign countries, including the one you are visiting, will be able to contact you by dialling your mobile number together with the Maltese international prefix, that is, 00356.

Accessing and receiving calls in your voicemail will be charged according to your roaming tariff.

Control Your Usage

Spend Caps and Notifications

Data roaming spend caps and notifications help you control your costs when you’re abroad. Data Roaming spend caps are disabled when opting for a different roaming tariff that is not the standard epic World Rates.

 

How much are the spend caps?

The standard spend cap is at €59 (incl.VAT, excl. Excise)

 

How do they work?

We’ll text you when you’re away telling you how much you’ve spent on data roaming well before you reach the standard monthly spend cap. When you reach the spend cap, we’ll send you another text and you will not be allowed to continue using internet whilst abroad. The counter for the spend cap is re-set at the beginning of each month.

 

How do spend caps work with any Roaming tariff which is not the standard Epic World Rates?

Spend caps do not apply to non-standard epic Roaming tariffs.

 

Opting in and out of spend caps

You’re automatically opted in to data spend caps and notifications, if you are on the standard epic World Rates. You can opt out at any time, but we don’t recommend it as they’re in place for your benefit—to avoid high data charges when you’re abroad. If you choose to opt out of the spend cap, your roaming plan will not be affected.
