I was wondering the same thing. Anyway, have they implemented this new rate? No news on their website regarding this.

The new rate is only for those who changed to the new value plus internet plan, if I'm not mistaken.

about the New Hotlink Plan, i want to highlight the information below that appears on Maxis Forum now

after your credit expired, it seems there is 50 days grace period, but if you do not top up within 30 days any leftover credit will be forfeited

this sounds very like the old Hotlink plan from ~2004, except then the overall grace period was 90 days

Maxis seems hell bent on grabbing our credit and terminating our line



You are still able to receive call and SMS during the grace period. It will remain active for another 50 days from the day of deactivation. E.g: You top up on 01/01/12 for RM10; it will be valid until 10/01/12. Your credit will still remain in your account for another 30 days (09/02/12) and will be forfeited if you did not reload. You will be given another 20 days until 28/02/11 before the line is expired and will be disconnected.

Damn that sucks, i'm on HYC.

Seems fishy. Those mentioned above is not written on their website right?

Many things is not mentioned on the Hotlink website, especially they still do not quote the reload validity period

50 days grace period is mentioned, but not the 30 days credit forfeit

And when I call 122, it announces 90 days grace period, and 50 days before credit is forfeited

But the grace period is confirmed as 50 days when I check balance under *122#

Indeed my old number terminated after 50 days, which I let happen since Maxis tricked me into this so-called plan upgrade

Hotlink really in a mess these days

the new rate is also applicable for the postpaid monthly 100MB, 500MB etc as well when the quota is exceeded.
here is the source

http://www.maxis.com.my/personal/mobile/br...earch/index.asp

the pay as u use without a monthly data plan still the same cutthroat 10cent/10KB.

Afaik it doesn't apply to Value Plus Internet users right?

Btw guys, I'm thinking of getting the Value Plus Internet 50 Any happy users here?

Hi guys, I got the Motorola xoom with the maxis 3g 6gb broadband package. How do I get the phone number of the simcard when I want to register for WhatsApp… any clue?

plug that to an ordinary phone ?

den how to retrieve the num? i cant make calls rite...

Maxis just sent me a SMS:

"We are pleased to inform that your Mobile Internet quota has been increased to Monthly 1.5GB (M) at NO extra charge effective 4/1/2012."

Currently, i'm using the RM58 500MB data plan bundled with Value50 call plan. This certainly a good news, at least to me

Same goes with me.. Received the same SMS.. Free upgrade to 1.5GB from 500MB..

I am wishing I get an SMS saying 100mb free upgrade to 500mb lol

@kytz
yup, vpi rate still 30sen/MB

@aspire
i am not so greedy, just charge my 100MB for 8rm instead of 18rm good enough

Guys,
Im planning of getting Value Plus 80 postpaid.
It says that it is RM0.12/m to Maxis #s.
But below in small wordings it says;

"Calls are charged in 30 second blocks for all rate plans."


Does it mean that it's RM0.06 per 30 seconds or RM0.12/30seconds?

Means example a short call from 1second to 30seconds you will be charge only 6cents

In some case if the block is like 60seconds block u will be charge 12cents from 1second to 60seconds

just got a new price list from *100#, iirc
100MB rm18
200MB rm28
500MB rm38
1GB rm48
3GB rm68
seems to be slightly cheaper...

only on postpaid?
my HYC still showing old price

updated on my postpaid already. I dont get it on my prepaid HYC as well i suspect this benefits are for those that commit only aka Postpaid not prepaid
