Postpaid get 3gb data plan, but hotlink get 8gb data just for weekend only.
now I feel unfair...

Maxis clever loh.....recent fracas, they did not lower their packages' rates but instead offer more data...so their income from customer still the same. As for the extra data, infrastructure already available so depends on the customer to fully utilise or not. As far as maxis concern, their collection is still there. Unfortunately for me, only maxis have the service within my area of home and work. The others telco are all useless. Yes I do agree, other telco have more attractive packages but no use if can't use it right.....

Did you check out Maxis GO plan?
http://www.maxis.com.my/en/personal/plans/...maxisgo-wm.html

double standard deserve boycott

I just no idea why Maxis didn't learn from other telco
cheapest oneplan is RM 98 which only got 5gb data
why they don't release release cheaper oneplan around RM 50-80 for a light user like me ? that the reason that hold me upgrade from hotlink prepaid to its maxis postpaid
take a look on celcom, digi and u mobile, they got so many plan, from as low as RM 28

He said he is a light user. He wants to switch from Prepaid to Postpaid.

sarawak only i think

What about calls and sms?
Maxis GO give 100 mins free calls to all networks and 100 sms to all networks.
If you are heavy on Facebook and Internet, then the Hotlink is preferred.

Are you referring to this offer?

ya but what the point I change to it ?
I pay RM 30 I get 2gb data every month
once change to it only 1gb (7am-2am), another 1gb from (2am-7am)
yeah never learn at all
don't know what they thinking

because maxis got very little customer in sarawak. all the infra gone to waste.
majority people use digi/celcom.

At last some real benefits

[attachmentid=7367155]

All because of profits, maybe they think low package doesn't help them to earn much so die die force users to subscribe minimum rm98. During maxis crisis, they get threaten so bad, but they still want to maintain their profits by giving out extra data rather than lowering down the price.
Agreed. What's the points of having attractive plan when there is no coverage at the area?
Maxis is the strongest line at my area, try out others telco (prepaid coz cheap for testing purposes) before but line is not that strong as maxis. At the end, back to hotlink. Although maxis is expensive, but can't deny that their line is better than the others 3.
I guess probably during Merdeka day lol. If not mistaken, last year Merdeka quite many new plans launched so called to celebrate Merdeka. In fact, just want to get more water fish. 
pokemon go consume less data, u won't able to finish the 20gb.
Either u share it with yr frens or spend it to watch youtube.

Why can't they offer this deal at west as well? Although I might not be able finish within a week, but at least I don't have to jimat in spending the data.  Maxis is unfair
why? maxis line not good at east? or others telco line is better than maxis?

that is just becoz they wan to make Maxis more branded. doesn't wan to learn and change. so alot of customer will run away.

Strongly agreed, I am desire for the 10gb fb... because I realize that fb video consume even more data than youtube.
Youtube load part by part, if you cancel it before the video finish load it will only consume the data until where you stop.
But the bloody fb are not and it load the video at once even though u cancel and the data, but data will still deducted for the full length video... U know la, all the fb video tittle very catchy and with black screen preview make me curious to press the start button.
haiz, the pain that only prepaid users understand.
Although it's only last for 7 days, but who cares since it's free when you top up yr credit.
I want it. 
haha, that's why I never bother to sign up any device bundle with Maxis.
Plus, I saw many negative complains that regarding the contract issue and payment. Not only Maxis, but others also.
Rather use hotlink, at least I have no issue with the payment.
I am not greedy just want their service but not the little discount on the devices.  Because I know at the end we will pay even more for the device. I am good with Maxis even they happen to have the crisis but not anymore until current hotlink comes out with different states offers. Make me a little bit piss off, overall is actually not bad.
The reason that I only think of is because of the coverage.
Well, the only advantage for Maxis.

they only know $$$
yeah, and not all devices can subscribe to maxis oneplan 98
some devices like s7 edge cheapest plan is maxis oneplan 128
I was like wtf, they think everybody is heavy user

This issue happens in every telco, I have seen a lots of this kind of complain even at kopitiam.
U can't ensure that others telco will not give you the same problem. That's why I rather use prepaid. If dnt want to use it anymore, just leave it until the system deactivate the sim.

yeah which claim to be premium brand
I wishes to sign plan since every month I also need to buy data
but so far none of the maxis plan I like, too expensive
I am a light user, monthly just need around 2gb data, if maxis oneplan got around RM 50 I am okay with it even though don't have unlimited call and sms
yeah different plan, so sucks
not 1 Malaysia anymore

Customer loyalty is overrated. Premium brand or not, usually a company's goal is to grow its customer base especially in areas where it has a small presence and biggest potential to grow. Increase revenue and profit.

KV, PG, and JB market probably already saturated, so Maxis wants to focus on those 4 states.

As for me, I do not need big data allocation but I want stable and wide coverage. So, I moved from postpaid one plan to prepaid hotlink fast plan. Still on maxis network.

yeah, waiting it goes shit
but don't have spotify premium

No worries, mine also 2 sen, bro. I know your feeling, just imagine those old-time Astro customers who paid so much in the early days.

Not sure if Maxis follows this 1Malaysia thing, since they're not a govt body.

Not that I agree with what Hotlink is doing, but an offer like 10GB FB and 10GB internet for KV/PG/JB regions may kill the network in these high subscriber locations? Maybe that's why Hotlink is offering for the 4 states where they need more subscribers and network traffic is also low currently.

yeah, all the good offers always go to east. KL never has such good deals. 
No network improving, no new offer. 
Maxis seldom focus on light plan, more toward heavy plans.
Me too, myself don't spend that much data (5-10gb) because both of my house and work place did provide free wifi that's why I take prepaid. At least, there is a few data pass for me to pick. For your requirement surf more is just suitable to u, but since u need spotify then I have ntg good to recommend. XD

Nope, they claimed that because they are currently improving these 4 states network and that's they reason why 4 of these states got special promotion.

What they claim and what is true could be 2 different things. Nevertheless, ever since the last controversy I believe the maxis and hotlink plans have improved. I'm a light call/sms user so the One** plans are not suitable for me. Moved to Hotlink Fast. RM30 for 2gb, free weekend LTE quota and free Spotify premium account. Had considered other telco but I am happy with Maxis/Hotlink coverage and speed.

Your guess is as good as mine on what the real situation is.

Maxis has 4G almost everywhere in Penang island, for me. Umobile's 4G coverage is spotty at best. Cheaper plan with big data quota is not useful to me if quality and coverage of network is poor. Is Maxis/Hotlink network really bad in KV compared to other telcos?

That's what they told me in fb, but I agreed with you that it could be different things.
Maybe it's just the best reason that they can think of.
Btw, me too seldom make calls and sms. The only different thing is I am #hotlink users.
No free weekend LTE and no Spotify premium. T.T Is your Spotify premium with limit validity / it need to subscribe pass only able to activate or it's permanent? I need Spotify too.... 
Yeah, funny right? I also blur, when they told me this.
I did ask them when will other states receive the same offer or new offer?
But, as always they only ask me to stay tuned. LOL
Umobile strongest network is located at KV, doesn't mean it's the best coverage at KV.
I think so far Maxis still remain the top 1 in overall coverage.
Hotlink network at KV is not bad. Manage to get 4G most of the time.
Yes, no use of more quota when you can't even spend it.

I have monthly 2GB data plan with my Hotlink Fast, it auto-renews as long as I have credit. I top one RM100 every 3 months, to be safe.

The Spotify Premium subscription auto-renews as long as the data plan is active, I believe. Yes, need to subscribe once using the Hotlink Red app. I believe this is a permanent freebie, as I don't see any expiry date in the offer. Have been enjoying this since I moved to Hotlink Fast.

The 2GB Youtube freebie needs to be activated manually every month, though.

What's the benefit of the #hotlink package over hotlink-fast, btw?

Just noticed this is Maxis thread and here we are talking about Hotlink, oops. 

so pissed off at MAXIS right now. few months back MAXIS revamped their old MaxisOne Plan to 5, 10, 15, 20gb and introduced their Sabah & Sarawak plan which comes with free internet from 1am-7am if you're in East Malaysia.

I'm on the 20gb MaxisOne plan, and after my 20gb quota is finished, I would buy their daily topup for 500mb at RM5/per day. For 1 month it works perfectly, the free internet at 1am-7am would not deduct from any of my paid quota.

After that, Maxis scamming technique kicks in, and whenever I have a daily pass, it would eat quota from the passes even after 1am.
I complained to Maxis and case number C17980582 (if any Maxis staff is reading this), and they replied it should not have deducted from my daily pass. They REFUNDED me for RM190+ for June and July 2016 bill and said that the issue has been FIXED, so i rated them a 10.

However this month, following my refreshed cycle, I wanted to test if Maxis really fixed the issue. But to my dismay, it deducts from my daily pass again, I called Maxis and lodged another report, case number C18106376. They say they will check and give me a call back. After 4 days, I got a call from Maxis and a female staff named Azwin said that technical staff says that it now deducts from daily pass before using the unlimited 1am-7am quota (Is this even fair? Is this even business wise?).

I replied they should have told me earlier and she said its mentioned in their TERMS AND CONDITION. I told her I have read the recent TNC but found nothing of the sorts. I said that Maxis should informed me of the new TNC if there are any changes. I request she send me the NEW TNC she mentioned and highlight the part which states what she said is true. She told me what she said through 'this' phone conversation represents Maxis NEW TNC and the call with me is recorded so its "SAH", even though I insist there should be a black and white to confirm her 'report'.

Is there anything I can do except posting this so that other people know Maxis is also scamming an OLD CUSTOMER like me? I've been using Maxis for 7 years with average bill of RM400 per month. I guess Maxis doesn't like me as a customer.

Things will never be equal between the East and West Malaysia. While you guys are going brou-ha-ha over the different plans offered between East and West. Residents in East Malaysia have been paying more for the same goods that are sold in West Malaysia for decades. KFC is more expensive. McDonalds is also more expensive. Raw materials are also more expensive. Houses in Sabah are as expensive as key developments in Klang Valley and Sabah is the poorest state in this country. Make sense ? Even foods in regular kopitiam are more expensive than KL.

i'm a maxis hotlink rm 30 data user and today got calls from maxis giving out promotion rm 98 without contract. 24gb and unlimited calls, sms, whatsup.
But still, i'm very lite user. Normal month using like 2-3gb only for games.
tomorrow, the telemarketer will call me again since i said i'll check the plan 1st.
dun know if it worth it for me

Nice offer, but if I were in your shoes I will not accept. Because RM30 commitment per month will become RM98.

And 24GB + unlimited calls/sms are not big value items to a light user.

from the conversation, he said i'm using maxis for over 114 month (maybe)
but i really dun know..but there no call today from the telemarketer..maybe he saw my posting kot..
