i top up rm30, used that rm30 to buy 1GB monthly plan which support LTE, but then i saw maxis disregard the top up 30 days vailidity after buying the 1gb monthly plan, means no count, still at the old expiry date. but can use data for 1 month.

another thing, after buying the #hotlink simpack, to enjoy LTE u need to swap for LTE simcard. the trick is the latest #hotlink simcard came in the pack looks identical to the 128k LTE simcard (a standard sim with pre-cut microsim design), a maxis dealer (not center) customer service personnel last time confirmed me no need swap saying this is the one, but after days of try, finally discovering it is still 32k simcard, got to swap. so better go to maxis own service center to change.

should be 50 days

oh no i mean grace period after expired validity date, the newly bought simpack come with RM5 only.

topped up rm30, the validity period extended 30 days.

but after buying 1gb monthly plan, this 30 days active days gone, revert back to original date before top up 

now in grace period already, cannot call out / sms out, must top up within 50 days

i use this card for LTE internet data only

eh?
hotlink site just changed "free internet" on #hotlink plan to "free social messaging"
http://new.hotlink.com.my/en/plans/free-internet.html
just when i plan to mnp to #hotlink this sunday for the free internet     

thats what i thought too...
maybe too many complaint due to validity365 not available 

i still doubt tho that they would bring back validity365 to #hotlink...
based on the new "free social messaging" they're still offering free whatsapp, wechat etc access for free.. means if they bring validity365 back, people would get a whole year of free whatsapp access for just rm66,  rm33 fee+rm30 reload in six months. using whatsapp would bring less income as people not using traditional sms anymore, not to mention later whatsapp will introduce voice call...
currently people need to reload rm1/1day to stay active to use it, means for a whole year need to reload rm365. rm365 is better than rm66 for their profit 

i got two celcom prepaid, one is old xpax x2 plan, by far cheapest plan for sms and call, not going to change it.
another one is current new xpax x24 plan, this sim is what i originally planned to mnp to #hotlink for the free basic internet. not sure what to do now

oh...

and the link of 'How do I get FREE Basic Internet?' under q&a is not redirect to any page now

when umobile 4g lte ready at my place, i think i will switch back to umobile, worthy.

detecting scam and con?

just ported my celcom xpax to hotlink at 3pm..
hope porting process can be done by tomorrow.
lucky me live in terengganu can request for hotlink edisi terengganu, got free calls on each reload 

nope, doesn't have validity365 or validity90 same as normal #hotlink... only difference on the so called terengganu, kelantan and sabah sarawak plan is got free call bonus on each reload.

just got my #hotlink edisi terengganu activated 
wanna ask, validity90 and validity365 supposed to showed on easymenu *100# with #hotlink plan?
mine got that option showed 

mine is in full english...
at first even after i made first call and chose english as preferable language, the easymenu is still in malay.. tried few more times and at last it changed to english.

haven't try earlier so i tested just now after rebooting phone once, yes its activated already.
btw i think "free basic internet" is still applicable. probably maxis just renamed it to "free social messaging" to lower users expectations. many idiots expects to get free unlimited, uncapped speed to stream youtube 24/7 so they changed its name. i tested with browser and facebook, opens and loads pages just fine.

sorry can't take screenshot, using it on nokia dualsim dumbphone, and thats my only phone currently
but the code gave me some sort of "empty" easymenu, on top got few line of empty space and at bottom only got two option, 0 Back and 00 Main menu.

afaik the free internet is suppose to automatically activate after two hours of simcard activation, no need to sms anything. if still not activated even after two hours then just reboot phone.

well i cant say for sure that my free basic internet is really activated, i just assume its already activated since i can use data without credit balance being deducted
