Pros and cons
GO Malta
Pros

Questions about each
GO Malta
How much do GO Malta travel plans cost?+
Travel plans start at €5, with a price per GB of €2.50. EU roaming is included at home rates, and the travel bundles for trips outside the EU pair a set number of days with a fixed data allowance, from a small short trip pack to a larger weekly one. Top-ups are available when a bundle runs out.
Does GO Malta sell unlimited data?+
Unlimited data is not one of the options, so every bundle comes with a fixed allowance to watch. Only 57.2% of the brands compared sell unlimited data, and Zwitchy is one of them. GO Malta makes more sense for trips where a set amount of data is enough.
M1
What does M1 roaming cost from?+
Daily Passport roaming from SGD 2.95 is the entry point, below the site median price of €5. The same reference lists a Tourist SIM for Singapore visitors, so the same short-trip audience can pick either a day pass or a visitor plan.
How many countries does M1 cover?+
Coverage runs to 78 countries on a regional basis, which is well short of Zwitchy at 200. Multi-continent itineraries that cross several regions are better served by a wider plan, so a holiday inside the footprint suits M1 better.
