yes, it is a pass you can add on to your Hotlink account

I've been using the 10 days pass since last Friday.

The usage count from maxis shows a lower value than the data counter on my phone so I believe it is charged on a continuous total rather than blocks. That is normal for passes and subscriptions. It is the pay as you use that is charged in blocks and becomes killer charges.

After checking, yes I found sometimes RM1.00 is deducted. So far, it has always added back for me.

I would advise all not to switch your phone off immediately after data session.

Um give 500MB for same price and last for 2 weeks

for me 75MB plenty cos internet on my phone just for light browsing, check email and lowyat on the go

everyone different needs, at least Maxis and Um giving us more choices now

DiGi prepaid still waiting for it, unless you use their data sim

10 days 75MB = RM 10

I used this 10-day pass and it suit me fine for light browsing, check email, news, lowyat, msn messenger.

My first pass expired yesterday, Maxis sent an sms one hour before expiry and again at the actual expiry time. This assumes you do not exceed the quota. Otherwise, the pass expires once your usage reached 75MB. My usage came to ~57MB based on Maxis counter. I'm using UC browser on my phone.

Quite satisfed with this service and the price. I'd been using DiGi Prepaid daily or weekly until now, but that was too expensive to use continuously every day, although the quota higher, plus the auto-renewal is really ma fan cos I had to keep cancelling it. There is no auto-renewal with this Maxis pass, you just request another one when you want it.

the menu changed

the shortcut to check usage is now *100*3*6#

I believe it's still available provided you stay on the old Basic or Extra plan. From what I recall, Maxis adds the one year onto your existing expiry date anyway, so maybe you don't need to wait.

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.

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

yes the latest new hotlink plan it is RM10 for 10 days

after that, got 50 days before the line is terminated (losed the number)

but after 30 days, any credit remaining will be forfeited

Hotlink 365 not available

to maintain the validity, you might consider top up RM100 (for 100 days), and then "sell" the spare credit to friends under Share A Top Up

DiGi Best prepaid still have SuperLongLife @ RM30 for one year

Umobile prepaid give 300 days validity for RM100 topup

Tron, which is MVNO using DiGi network, offer one year of validity for any topup amount or even credit transfer

your statement suggests that you did not renew the RM8 daily package

after 24 hours it lapses, and you will be charged pay as you use (PAYU) rates if you do not buy another pass

that's why the PAYU charges started on 23 Jan, 24hrs and 10 seconds after you subscribed on 22 Jan

HYC club have daily SMS counter under USSD

The code is *127# and that is only for SMS to Maxis-Hotlink numbers

As far as I know, it does not work for other plans

Hotlink 365 is now only available on the older plans called Basic and Extra

that staff give you wrong info

the newest Hotlink plan has validity of 1 day per RM1, for RM10 topup and upwards

Hotlink 365 is not available on the latest plans either

you can read some horror stories here.

yes, too confusing.. that how Maxis making billions

to check your plan, try *100#, option 8, then option 5

for the topup validty on the newest hotlink plan, try here.

yes, DiGi still give one-year validity for RM30

only for the Best prepaid plan
