I am not quite sure I follow all that...

So how popular/well-known/well-used is the Passport feature? It is fairly new, correct? For about a year now, true? Any reports on how many people EMPLOY it?

I thought VODA ML participated in the Passport option. Maltese when THEY travel could take advantage of that.

As for the calling card option from UK (Malta?), again, perhaps it is that people 1. DON'T KNOW or 2. IT'S TOO COMPLICATED or 3. THEY ARE RICH AND JUST CALL REGARDLESS OF THE RATES or 4. ?
