    Track your usage

    Unless you’re on an unlimited plan, we will send you an SMS when you use 80% and 100% of your monthly Minutes, SMS and/or Data bundle.

    Whilst you’re in Malta, you can check your usage any time throughout the month by sending a free blank SMS to 16290.

    If your phone doesn’t send blank SMS’s, you can enter any character.

    If you have just started a new plan, these usage notifications won’t work during the first month. You’ll begin receiving them as of the second month.
