Hi Sifu's
I am planning to get a postpaid line which has Unlimited Internet (anything above 3GB is more than sufficient for me) & Unlimited Voice Calls.
Currently I set my eyes on Hotlink PostPaid 40, are there any other cheaper alternatives under a postpaid plan?
Hotlink Postpaid 40 doesn't come with unlimited data though. U Mobile Giler Unlimited Prepaid 38 (RM35/month) perhaps ? Do make sure U Mobile reception is good at the places you frequent by buying a prepaid SIM to test it out first though. Can't think of any postpaid plan that comes with unlimited data priced below RM50/month.

Clueless guy who doesn't understand what hotspot means. Will it affect me if I use a 4g modem for Internet? Do I need unlimited hotspot besides unlimited data.?

Same situation as you here.
From what I gather, even if you use USB teether or hotspot or 4G modem, it'll still activate the hotspot clause. Because some mobile dataplan have unlimited data. However, that's for the phone only.
If you use this dataplan to run your PC broadband, it'll activate the hotspot which has a limited quota of say 6GB monthly depending on the plan.
Not sure if my understanding is correct or not. But I think it is, else everyone will start using mobile data plan as their main broadband.
Most postpaid plans have no separate hotspot limit. Only some postpaid plans that come with unlimited data have hotspot limit, such as Digi Postpaid 80/100 Infinite, Celcom MEGA Unlimited M/L, U Mobile Giler Unlimited Postpaid GX50/68 etc.
If you are talking about the regular postpaid plans such as Hotlink Postpaid, Maxis Postpaid (MaxisONE 98/108/128/158/188), Digi Postpaid 80/120/160/190, Celcom MEGA Lightning M/L/XL, all these plans do not have separate hotspot quota. You can use your data directly from your mobile phone or via hotspot.
Digi Postpaid 150 Infinite is truly unlimited - high speed unlimited data unlimited hostpot.

Now currently waiting to port in to Celcom postpaid ~RM150 plan. Their so called Mega unlimited and Mega lightning is just full of crap. Unlimited gives u 15mbps speed whilst "lightning" to justfy their max speed is only 30mbps. Could be lower in real life
Celcom MEGA Unlimited L capped speed of 15Mbps is applicable only to video streaming sites, the rest is high speed. Assuming high speed in your area is 30Mbps, then the real speed is 30Mbps when surfing all websites other than video streaming sites.
As to why Celcom MEGA Lightning M/L/XL is only 30Mbps, this is area dependent. In some areas you may get over 100Mbps, in some it is 10Mbps or so. Generally any mobile carrier can give you a stable and consistent 4G speed around 30Mbps to 50Mbps in this country is considered quite good, for now.

Hi guys, currently I'm on UMobile Hero postpaid 79. Am surveying to add a supplementary line under me. Thing is for UMobile, the supplementary line does not get unlimited calls.
My requirement as of below,
1) Main line and supplementary line need to have free unlimited calls.
2) In terms of Data allocation, around 15gb should be enough, each for main and supplementary line.
3) budget at RM100 - RM120.
4) I do hotspot tether a bit for my Switch, Ipad and laptop. Preferably hotspot can be drawn from main Data pool, not separate pool.
What are my choices?
Umobile Hero postpaid - not feasible, coz supplementary line only free 30 minutes call to Umobile number
Celcom Mega - unlimited calls, 40gb data. RM80 for main line + RM20 for supplementary line (4th months onwards revert to RM40).
Digi postpaid - unlimited calls, 40gb data. RM80 for main line + RM38 for supplementary line.
Maxis postpaid - unlimited calls & sms, 40gb data. RM98 for main + RM48 for supplementary line. Too expensive la Maxis.
I'm looking at Celcom and Digi now, as both offers free unlimited calls for supplementary line. But how does the hotspot works for both? I tried finding for keyword hotspot in Celcom FAQ, they didn mention. Digi does not have FAQ section for hotspot. Any feedback from you guys on how this hotspot works for both Celcom n Digi? They have their own pool or drawn from main Data pool?
Or is there any other Telco that I left out?

For Digi Postpaid 80, your total data will become 80GB after this particular line of yours has been active with Digi for 24 consecutive months. Basically you will get an extra 10GB loyalty data every 6 months for 4 times.
As for hotspot for Digi Postpaid 80, the data quota displayed on your app is all good for hostpot. There is no hotspot restriction for Digi Postpaid 80 or any or its supplementary lines.
FYI, Digi Postpaid 80 Family lines each get 40GB data + unlimited calls only. Only the principal line get additional 300 SMS per billing cycle. The loyalty data i mentioned earlier does not apply to Digi Postpaid 80 Family lines. So it means after 24 months staying active with Digi, your principal line will get 80GB data whilst the data for all supplementary lines will stay 40GB each.

hi. May I know is there any difference in unlimited calls and sms to all networks between Maxis Postpaid and hotlink postpaid (and maybe other telco too)? Since is unlimited , is it really required to go for supplementary line?
I am currently using Postpaid + Supplementary line. Seems like hotlink postpaid is offering better deal (if do not compare data). thanks
No. There is no difference. Supplementary line for Maxis Postpaid (MaxisONE) is optional. A lot of my friends on MaxisONE 98 do not have a supplementary line.

Recommendations for a data plan to be used for home family usage?
No calls or sms needed, just high limit and able to be tethered through my current Asus DSL modem router if possible. Up to 6 devices shared at home. Thanks.
Besides Unifi Air and Digi Postpaid 150 Infinite the previous poster mentioned, you can also consider MaxisONE Go WiFi. The price is RM138 for non-Maxis Postpaid subscriber and RM108 for Maxis Postpaid subscriber and the RM108 monthly fee is applicable for 12 months only. After 12 months the monthly fee will revert to RM138.
