Mobile Telephony
Please support Go Mobile, one of the main sponsors of the workshop, by using
their network when in Malta. On arrival, once you switch on your mobile phone
handset, it will start searching for a GSM signal. If go mobile and your home
mobile operator have a roaming agreement, then you can use go mobile's network
while in Malta.
Your handset will display either go mobile, 278 21 or M21. This means that
a connection with go mobile has been established. If this does not occur,
you can select the network manually from your phone menu.
