One small country, one connectivity scenario
Malta is 316 km² across three inhabited islands — Malta, Gozo, Comino — with around 553,000 people. You can drive the main island end to end in under an hour, and the ferry to Gozo runs every 45 minutes. There's no regional network split to worry about, no "northern pack" versus "southern pack." Malta is a single telecom landscape, and an eSIM attaches to it the same way it attaches anywhere — no local SIM, no shop visit, no passport at a kiosk.
How is Roamzy's price calculated?
Roamzy charges $1.43 per gigabyte in Malta, or $0.0014 per megabyte. That's the EU regulated band — the same rate as Spain and most of the bloc. No subscription, no expiry, no minimum bundle. One per-MB rate across 193 countries.
A typical visitor uses 0.5–1 GB/day: Maps for Valletta and Sliema, the bus app for the network across the island, the Gozo ferry app, your bank app for card payments that are universally contactless, the camera-translator on Maltese-only signage (English is everywhere — Maltese still surfaces on government, religious, and rural signs).
| Trip length | Roamzy ($1.43/GB) | Tourist roaming pass |
|---|---|---|
| Weekend (3 days) | $4.30 | $15–40 |
| 1 week | $10.00 | $25–55 |
| 2 weeks | $20.00 | $35–95 |
Competitor prices in column 3 are 2025 ranges based on typical home-carrier roaming offerings; exact figures depend on your plan. Roamzy's rate in column 2 is our actual published rate from the pricing page.
The unused balance doesn't expire — same logic across countries: you spent what you spent.
How do I set up Roamzy and where does it work?
Malta runs on a small, dense network. 5G is in Valletta, Sliema, St. Julian's, and the cruise port; LTE covers the rest of Malta and Gozo. Comino has signal at the Blue Lagoon side; the rest of the island is light. Underground sites (Hypogeum, the Catacombs) drop signal — that's physics.
| Plug type | Voltage | Frequency | iOS | Android |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Type G | 230 V | 50 Hz | iPhone XS+ | Pixel 3+, Galaxy S20+ |
Setup is the standard flow: sign in via Telegram or Google, top up from 20 USDT (no cards, no banks, no FX surcharges), the QR code lands in the dashboard, add the eSIM in your phone's Settings. Supported stablecoins, networks, and common iPhone/Android setup errors are in the FAQ.
What are Roamzy's honest limitations?
Three traps Roamzy doesn't have, because they were never built in. No welcome promo that flips on the second top-up. No fine-print throttling that bites halfway through your week. No forgotten subscription clawing back $30 next month from a card you don't check.
It's not a marketing gimmick — it's an engineering decision born from indifference to gimmicks. You can't make a tariff cheaper than no fine-print and no expiry — so we don't.
What if I'm just passing through?
Malta is a Mediterranean transit point. The eSIM hands over the moment you cross:
- Bulgaria — short flight from MLA
- Slovenia — common low-cost onward via Vienna
- If you want the underlying mechanics — how roaming actually gets priced and why it hurts
