Why a call to the UK fails
GO 1021 prefix changes the rate
On GO mobile, dial 1021 before the country code to get the 1021 rates. Without 1021, the standard international rate of your tariff plan applies.
GO, Call abroad from your mobile with 1021 termsEpic prepaid setup charge per call
On Epic prepaid, each call to a zone 2 or zone 3 country adds a €0.75 setup charge to the per-minute rate.
Epic, Calling AbroadInternet calls with Maltese numbers may be blocked
The MCA filters calls that arrive over international links with a Maltese caller ID. This includes calls placed with a Maltese number through internet- or cloud-based applications overseas. A call from a number starting with 3, 5 or 6 is blocked. A call from a number starting with 1, 2 or 8 to a Maltese number is also blocked, unless the call goes to an inbound roamer.
MCA, Scam communications: how will these measures affect us?From any country, a call to the UK also fails when
- The 0 is still in the number
- The exit code is wrong for your country
- The number does not take calls from abroad
