can this Hotlink Tablet Plan be used on smartphone (let's say, a dual-sim phone)? anyone know?

dont use hotlink but sure can.
tablet and smartphone is the same thing. some tablet even become big smartphone.
take note this plan is data only not be able to make / receive any calls or SMS.

Too expensive the plan

It's only worth it to fill in the gaps where you enter area with no access to WiFi, as a backup internet connection. It's expensive if you plan to use it without WiFi.

RM30 for sim and free 1gb + RM45 for 2gb data boost will net you 3gb of internet on a one year validity. No need to top up every month unless quota exhausted.

I'm using it on my dual-sim phone now.

RM30 for the sim card of Hotlink Tablet Plan with free 1gb
then add on RM45 for another 2gb
i want to ask can we add on & add on to get additional 2gb after quota full?
eg
RM75 3gb
RM120 5gb
RM165 7gb.....

I think you can top up the quota anytime you want & can top up as many time as you want.
The quota will accumulate but the validity will not extend.

no. u can't accumulate.
T&C:
7:Subscribers can only purchase a new Tablet Internet Pass once their quota has been exhausted or the validity of the Hotlink Tablet Plan has expired, whichever comes first.

thanks @halfdevil... i think i will give it a try. i use wifi as primary, data as backup! thanks to all too for ur kind advice.

Thanks for the info.
But it's weird that when I call to hotlink and ask about the top up, they said can top up any time.


You're welcome. But you better call hotlink to double confirm again since the answer i get from Hotlink helpline is differ from the T&C that mention by MyHeart.

Full tnc from hotlink website.
Tablet plan T&Cs

Upon activation, the Hotlink Tablet Plant provides the Subscriber FREE 1 GB Internet quota with a 1 year validity period. Following the 1 year validity period, Subscribers must perform a top-up & purchase a new Tablet Internet Pass within 50 days. In the event a Subscriber fails to top-up and purchase a new Tablet Internet Pass on the 50th day, the Hotlink Tablet Plan immediately expires and the Subscriber’s line will automatically expire and be terminated.



How about after top up RM45 before 50 days then another 50 days need to top up again another RM45 even the quota still not yet utilize?

basically it is 50 days validity..not 1 year as advertised. lel

From my understanding the period is 1 year + 50 days before the line expired & terminated if u do not top up..

yes you are right
i call them to confirm just now

but your unused quota can not carry forward to next year
and i wonder how much do we need to top up & then be able to buy the pass in the following year
but after 1 year.....maybe we have better option in the market

Dear all. I have a xiaomi redmi 1S (dual-sim phone). Currently , Im thinking to get a hotlink tablet plan sim card for my phone (for online, whatsapp and email purpose) to fit into my second slot. A guy from maxis centre said that this plan can only use in tablet, smartphone cannot work due to different AAP? APN? (Forgot Name). Can anyone clarify this?

My first sim card do not have internet data, and i need to keep that number for business usage. Please advice

Can lor.BUT i advice not to use maxis/hotlink.Their network is really slow ( i get hundreds of milliseconds ping to local sever and only 90kbps(not a typo) down and 16kbps up.

Thanks for the reply. How come that guy said cannot? :/
So what telco you would recommend? I dont need call and sms,i just need internet data for daily email and whatsapp only.
