good question, the speed could be a negative number

U Mobile Prepaid Broadband have 2GB for RM40 per month. And my experience in KL is their 3G speed averages faster than Maxis. I used it this month and about to auto renew. Satisfied with it. After quota the speed is capped. I measured it at 55kbps down and 150kbps up.

It's enough for me

If I minus the 15% bonus I collect at each top up, the data plan effectively costs RM34.

And there is free U to U calls for topping up and a lower call and sms rate to non Maxis lines.

I found this 90 days validity for RM8 on the Hotlink menu. Anyone have details on this feature?

Testing it today finally. It is 24 hours pass, no auto-renewal or carry forward of quota. Need to watch for expiry and not to exceed the quota.

Under Hotlink Specials > Validity

I got sms from Maxis this evening that Hotlink 365 is now known as Validity 365. Dunno if anything else has changed yet.

My Hotlink line was supposed to terminated mid January. Then I check yesterday and found it was re activated till 03.03.2013.

Yes, can

Pay as You Use is too expensive. It's better to buy a pass. You can check what's available under the *100# menu.

As far as I know the #109# code no longer works and it is necessary to ask Maxis to deactivate voicemail. Their Forum is flooded with people making such requests. DiGi are better in that the option to deactivate voicemail is on their USSD menu.

Correction, I think the Maxis code does still work as I tested it just now. The problem is there is no meaningful response from their system after sending the code.

I used this plan a few days last month in KL. The speed was around 600~700 kbps download and ~100 kbps upload, each time I tested. Maxis data speed is not at all consistent in my experience - I suppose that's why Maxis don't promise any speed on their website.

It sounds like the old Hotlink plan with 90 days per each topup. You can check under

*100# > Hotlink Specials* > Prepaid Plan Query

*why Maxis put here instead of under My Account, I have no idea..

Ha Maxis got too many Hotlink Plan. Confusing but if you get 90 days validity for each top up of RM 5 or more, then that is the one they called Hotlink Plan 1.0. After that it was Hotlink Plan 2.0 and latest one is called New Hotlink Plan.

Try request for settings

*100#

option 9 > internet and settings

option 2 > phone settings

Call 122
Select Option 3, Change Hotlink Options
Then Option 1 Change Language
And choose the relevant language

This is my understanding:

1 Upon expiry of HYC, the plan will default to New Hotlink Plan so need to start topping up again to keep active.

2 There is still 90 days grace period after expiry of HYC.

3 Under New Hotlink Plan, users can subscribe to Validity365 (formerly Hotlink 365) for RM33.

There is also an option of Validity90 which gives 90 days validity for RM8. I've been unable to find more information about this option, except that I believe the grace period after the 90 days of validity is over may only be 30 days.

Anyone has used Validity90 or knows more about it??

Mine is still one year to go, February 2014.

Let you guys go first and see how

Can call 11311 automated service or login to My Hotlink to get PUK code.
