Was the "Free Basic Internet @64kbps" 3GB before? I've no idea about this as I don't use it.

The 6 x 500MB is (separate) "High-Speed Internet", a promotion:

Activate #Hotlink Starter Pack Now To Enjoy:
FREE RM5 Pre-loaded airtime
FREE 3GB High Speed Internet (500MB x 6 months)
FREE Social Chat
Always On Internet
10x faster internet on 4G LTE

So once 6 x 500MB ends, I guess you can either continue using the the basic Internet or subscribe to one of the mobile Internet packages.

Yes it was 3gig before shown in the red apps.

Yes, the #hotlink free basic internet FUP was 3GB before 23rd July.

The current #hotlink promo only applies to new subscribers. The free 500MB is only valid for 7 days. Last year hotlink 6mths x 500mb promo gives 14days validity.

The longest free internet validity was from the recent DiGi Best bundle promo that gives 6mths x 200MB with 30days validity.

All big three telcos have now standardized their free basic quota to 500MB. Only U power free basic internet is (as of today) 2GB FUP.

As of today, the best is from U power (if you have good coverage) with free 1GB/30days High speed internet plus 2GB free basic internet.

Actually 500mb is enough for Imessage and whatsapp. Just don't download the video or the pictures.

Celcom so far has not blocked whatsapp call in their free basic Internet

Kinda confuse with "500MB for 7 days validity". Does it mean 500MB @full speed for 7 days or 500MB @64kbps for 7 days? What happen after the 7 days?

FREE 3GB High Speed Internet (500MB x 6 months) is a promotion (Promo period: 10 July 2015 – 30 September 2015) for newly-activated #Hotlink accounts, a separate thing from the Free Basic Internet @64kbps (aka Always On Internet on their website) that's been around for quite a while.

*FREE 500MB pass is valid for 7 days. So life goes on after the 7 days, until the next month when you qualify again. If you want to use data in the meantime, you can either revert back to using the basic internet or subscribe to a mobile internet package to surf at high speed.

Thank you for answering my question patiently
As I convert to #hotlink plan last year, means that i'm not entitled to this 500MB high speed right? But what happen to my existing Free Basic Internet @64kbps?
I think hotlink capped it to 500MB from the previous 3GB.

From what I can see, the promotion seems to be only for newly-registered #Hotlink accounts. You might want to contact Maxis to confirm on this.

I don't think there's any changes to the qualification for the Free Basic Internet except for the 500MB cap. This, I believe, is the selling point of the #Hotlink plan, so it should be there so long as you qualify to use it. If you somehow can't access/use, maybe check with Maxis?

Arghhh, just saw the Hotlink subforum, found the answer there too. Anyway thank you bro for your patient

free basic applies to all not limited to social apps only.

Free Basic Internet allows other uses than just social chat/apps. But at 64 kbps, I'd say it depends on the games you want to play.

No more unlimited access to fb anymore start from 3 days ago for 30days @rm15. from unlimited drops to 1gb. lol
