- Unlimited data pricing of €4.95 ranks 10 of 173 on price.
- Core features cover Sim only, 5G, Esim and Wifi calling, with a multi line discount for families.

Cons

- Travellers who mainly stay in Malta and value cheap local data over roaming reach
- Families combining lines to use the multi line discount

Plans and prices
Entry on a SIM only line starts at €4.95, which reads cheap against the sim only median of €9.30. Contract terms run 1 and 24, so a short commitment is available alongside a longer one. The reference plan prices show the shape of the range: Endless Data gives unlimited data on a longer contract, Endless Global adds a wider roaming picture for more, and Pockit Pass L is a prepaid bundle that steps up in price after a set period. Unlimited data pricing sits at €4.95. Billing covers contract and prepaid, so the same account can hold a fixed term and a top-up bundle.
Core features
The plan set covers the everyday handset features rather than niche extras. Sim only is available, so the line can be paired with a handset already in hand. 5G is offered, and an eSIM is available for a digital-only setup or a second device. Wifi calling is supported, which helps indoors and in dense stone-built areas where the signal is weak. A multi line discount applies, so several lines on the same account can cost less than buying them one at a time.
How it compares on our data
On price from, the brand ranks 89 of 258 brands, which places the entry figure behind the cheapest offers on the market rather than at the front. On unlimited data pricing the picture changes: 10 of 173 brands is a much stronger position, and the price compares favourably with the €23.19 unlimited median. Entry price ranks below the €6.99 sim only median, while unlimited pricing sits under the same ranking group's €23.24. As a network seller type, the brand competes with other networks rather than virtual operators in the same listings.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a SIM only plan cost with Melita?+
Entry on a SIM only line starts at €4.95, below the sim only median of €9.30. Contract terms run 1 and 24, so the shortest term keeps the commitment light. Unlimited data pricing is listed separately at €4.95.
Is there a rolling monthly plan or is everything a contract?+
Billing covers contract and prepaid, so prepaid bundles are available for short periods. The prepaid option in the reference plan prices steps up in price after a set number of renewals. Anyone wanting a rolling month to sit alongside a contract line has fewer options here.
What do I get on the unlimited data plans?+
The reference plan prices list an unlimited data plan and a second unlimited plan with wider travel coverage, both on a longer contract term. Unlimited data pricing starts at €4.95. The second plan costs more and is aimed at readers who use their phone away from home more often.
Can I use an eSIM with Melita?+
An eSIM is available, so a line can run as a digital-only profile or as a second line alongside a physical SIM. 5G is also offered, which matters if the handset and the local network both support it. Both features sit on the plan set rather than as paid add-ons.
Where does Melita operate and can I use the plan while travelling?+
Plans serve the MT market, with the company registered as Melita Ltd. in Malta. Roaming is included as standard, so travel use depends on the plan chosen. Readers who need service across several countries are better served by a multi market provider.
Can I get help from a person when something goes wrong?+
Support runs on help centre and chat, which covers a help centre and chat. No phone or email channel is listed, so a problem may need a written conversation. Readers who prefer voice support should compare a provider that publishes a phone line.
Does Melita offer a discount for holding more than one line?+
A multi line discount applies, so a household with several lines on the same account can pay less per line. That makes the contract and prepaid structure work for families who want one prepaid line and one contract line. Discounts on extra lines are common among networks, so compare terms before ordering.
How does Melita compare on price with other brands?+
On entry price the brand ranks 89 of 258, which is a mid market position. On unlimited data pricing it ranks 10 of 173, well ahead of most. Entry price is the weaker of the two figures.
