Hi All, Can anyone tell me why mobile phone plans are so darn expensive in Malta. Admit I have only looked at Melita and Vodaphone but it's not encouraging me to rush out and sign up for one.. :/

LoL toonarmy, you aren't enjoying the countless sales calls you get from them? I've put in an official complaint after requesting to have all my numbers removed from their lists and having hat request repeatedly ignored. Since then, I've heard ... Read More

Having said that, I have a HTC phone and an awesome number to sell if you want to go pay as you go. Read More

Personally I wouldn't recommend Melita. I've had nothing but problems from them :( Read More
Life in Mosta? by pevi
Our relocation date is approaching fast and we are looking into renting a property in Mosta. However I am slightly worried about our everyday life there. Initially I will stay home with our two children and we do not plan to have a car. ...
@redmik Maybe it's when and where I travel, but short of going to The far ends of the island or into central birkikara, I never spend more than 30 minutes per journey and that includes rush hour traffic. Read More

It's only an issue if you use public transport, otherwise you can pretty much get anywhere on the island in 20 minutes. If you are still looking to live in Mosta, I have a house to rent out here. Read More

Hi Monica, I'm not sure if I've understood your posts correctly, so if not, please excuse me. It seems one thing that's important to you is shopping. It would be helpful to know if you mean big shopping outlets like you get in most countries, ... Read More
Giving birth at mater dei by giusidda
hello!! Any feedback on Mater dei maternity unit anyone?
Damsel, now that I think about, I probably had more visits but opted out. Having 3 kids, my mother and my husband, was way too many people as it was :). Then again, it was 3 years ago, so things may have changed or I just really have lost all my ... Read More
Ex-pat children in Maltese schools by fergie11
Hi guys , we're a UK family gearing up for a move to Malta in August 2013 and were wondering how ex-pat children integrate into Maltese schools ? We had previously heard excellent reports on the school system down there but have read some not so ...
:) integrating in the private schools won't be a problem, as there are lots of ex pat kids in them. The government schools might be a bit harder, but I have friends with their kids in a government school in pembroke and they are very happy. I think ... Read More

Where will your daughter go to school? The school itself will make the most difference, rather than the other kids. Read More

Pevi, yes I do have a car. However, my nanny often takes my 3 children on busses and they go all over. I think it's a bit of a mission with a double buggy as you have to put them down, but it's not unmanageable. The public transport is very good, ... Read More

Women's position in Malta by Victoria22
Hi, just curious what women's position is in Malta. I mean are they stay-at-home mums looking after family and household? Or are their chances at least similar to those of men? I am asking because my husband is going to stay at home with our ...
I have to disagree with all of you :). My husband was a stay at home when we first came here. Although that was 6 years ago, so maybe things have changed. But boy was it difficult then. Women mostly stay at home, so if you are out and about at ... Read More

Hi, I am retired, recently returned to Europe after 30 years in the USA and the Caribbean, and... suffering from a climate shock and a price shock (especially cost of simple services, which in Sweden cost around $50 per hour = blatant robbery!) and ...
