QUOTE(YoungMan @ Dec 15 2022, 04:11 PM) Hotlink and Maxis are the same. But as for coverage, you have to find out whether the other telco coverage is good enough for you. No telco is equal in terms of 4G. I’m ok with Maxis actually. But yes I’m thinking to switch to Hotlink Postpaid since it’s cheaper and from what I can see, not much difference right?

Does anyone know if any telco provides unlimited calls and sms to all networks? Internet and data is not required.

QUOTE(miyakochan89 @ Dec 15 2022, 02:40 PM) Im using RM98 Maxid Postpaid. I wanna check if there are any cheaper telcos with equally strong coverage? Should I switch to hotline instead? There’s hotlink postpaid these days. I am on the same plan too. Considering Digi at the moment given their cheaper plan + 5G coverage. I don't know if it is just me, Maxis line seems to be very very bad recently. Slow speed even with full bar signal. This post has been edited by coolguy99: Dec 21 2022, 10:28 AM

Ultimately just choose which telco perform best at your place. In my case, Digi line has deteriorate badly in my office ever since 3g shut down, so I have no choice but to port out to Hotlink which is slightly better. Even at home I can get close to 100mbps as compared to Digi about 30-40mbps. If Digi perform best in your area, go for it. This post has been edited by YoungMan: Dec 21 2022, 02:47 PM

I am actually very confused with all the new hotlink postpaid/prepaid plans. Does anybody who has any advice on the best value hotlink postpaid/prepaid plan? I use about 10GB per month. Would prefer to have at least 20GB at least?

Since you need around 10 to 20 GB monthly, perhaps can consider the Hotlink Pantas plan. There is 25GB for RM40, or 15GB for RM25. https://www.hotlink.com.my/en/faq/products/...-pantas/passes/If you wish to use your line hassle free without rememberring when to topup, go for postpaid. Just use and pay by every bill cycle.

Hi sifus, need recommendation for any Telco postpaid plan better than the current one.
Reason to change: Since last year November, u-mobile line not stable even under 4g coverage area. Wasted 5GB hotspot, never used for long time.
Preferred postpaid with unlimited internet and calls, especially in palm oil estates since I will be always outstation. U-mobile proves to be limited, sometimes no line inside estates or mills.
My monthly usage of data is under 50GB.
Current postpaid plan: U-mobile GX50, monthly RM53 including GST 5Mbps unlimited internet and unlimited calls to local telco 5GB hotspot.

I would suggest you check out Digi Postpaid Infinite or Celcom Mega 98. Maxis has no unlimited plan. Please find out which of the telco has good coverage in your area before signing up.

Yes, hence you have to go through those small details to find the plan that best suits your need. Also don't forget about coverage, because sadly our telco coverage differ from one place to another. Even if someone suggest you the cheapest plan with the most data, but you cannot use it due to poor coverage, it defeats the purpose.
