ya, Um and DiGi each got their own points

Um call rate is nice and simple 18sen/min

whereas DiGi can be 36/15/12/10 sen/min depending...

For sms, DiGi user can get 1 sen DiGi-DiGi, Um lowest rate is 3 sen

Um is overloaded network right now

I think all those mobile internet options will be around for some time, not just a promotion. I'm using the 10 days for RM10 and 75mb and satisfied with it. Maxis have got this right and made DiGi prepaid data look expensive plus the speed is better...

for hotlink, it's here

my opinion, you should be able to use the broadband plan in your hp

as i see it, maxis don't care what device we use for data, they just want our money

however, if the settings like apn are different between usb modem and hp, then you can view them by:

1 open the usb modem program on your computer
2 view/edit the relevant profile that works
3 enter those settings manually in your hp

U Mobile have both Mobile Internet and Broadband options, and either can be used in hp

Maxis should be able to transfer your Hotlink credit to your new postpaid Maxis account

better check at Maxis Centre, unless sifu here can confirm it

like i wrote, maxis just want our money

so, yes quite possibly they want the money twice with one plan for modem and another for hp

certainly DiGi and Umobile allow any device to be used whether it is MI or BB

anyhow, i found this from maxis in case it helps:

We are sorry. In order to access the Hotlink Prepaid Broadband Portal:

1. Your Maxis Prepaid Broadband or Hotlink sim card MUST be configured as follow:
APN : bbnet
2. If applicable, your HSPA Modem or mobile phone MUST be configured as follow:
APN : bbnet
Number to dial : *99#
User ID : maxis
Password : wap

if Hotlink, so long as the line is registered in your name, just go maxis centre with your IC

Maxis will be able to block your line temporarily and issue a new sim card attached to the same number

it may take a few hours or more before your new sim card can be used

the fee is RM25.00

30 days is just initial period when you activate a new sim or change plan

after that the validity is roughly 1 day per each RM1 topup

see the table below, posted by Maxis on their Forum page

Yes, can activate any time before expire date printed on the back. Then you have 30 days. However, the new sim pack has no credit inside so you'll need to top up any amount before you can use.

Just dial as one set
no need to wait..

Bagus Pass only really suit for heavy users that can commit to spending RM5 within 3 days

Just use it only when you have the need

Otherwise, better rely on the normal rates and max out your Active 10 numbers

HYC is better than Bagus

example, sms to other network:

HYC = 06 sen

Bagus = 10 sen always

My opinion:

Bagus worth switching to from Basic, Extra or Hotlink Plan 2.0

Hotlink Plan 1.0 (90 days validity for RM5 topup) is worth keeping

I already changed my plan from Extra to Bagus

Worth it

Extra would charge the call in 60 second block, mahal..

Some more, Bagus can subscribe Hotlink 365, which is good for light user who don't need to topup all the time

yes confirmed. However if you're already using Hotlink 365 when you switch to Bagus, then you'll have to ask Maxis to restore back your one year expiry date.

The 90 days validity for RM5 top up does not apply to Bagus Plan.

yes, anyone with that Hotlink Plan 1.0 should definitely keep it

I also received that offer, even my hotlink 365 valid till march 2013. I think it's better just to ignore it. The credit has to be used in one month anyway, hardly suitable since hotlink 365 is designed for light user.

Yes, something like dat. Except the credit can only be used on Maxis or Hotlink plus it's only last for 30 days. You still need to top up RM30 in the first six months too.

good, i suppose Hotlink trying to counter the latest RM30/30 days from DiGi Prepaid
