Maxis hotlink came out new plan. Free 8gb a month, 2gb for each weekends. But 5gb for rm48 a month option is there. Call rates slightly better on surfmore.

Somehow overall better deal for prepaid at the moment than surfmore.

Maybe surf more need to "downgrade" to prepaid??

Will wait and see what's the next best option

Yes, I know

Did mention this earlier.

But think of it this way...
Hotlink : RM38 3GB + 8GB over 4 weekends
Surfmore : RM50 3GB
Unless you are a heavy call user (which why the heck you are on Surfmore and not MOP is strange). Would there be a RM12 for calls? That's wiggle room between the two plans. At months I don't call much, I save.

I'm looking through my bills, call usage is like RM5-6 at max. Let's say on Hotlink it is double, RM-RM12. At the moment Hotlink seems better....

but I choose to wait and see approach first.

Already improved plan from 2GB to 3GB

Maxis won't be that silly to "cannibalized" their MOP 98 right?

They should release MOP78, 5GB + limited calls/SMS, just saying.

Anyone on Surfmore 50, what's the plan here? I'm still waiting for something better and testing umobile, just got a prepaid starter pack.

Me too. Switched one principal and 2 supplementary lines to hotlink fast. I think it's good value taking the $38 for 3gb since I work from home using mostly my fiber line. The 8gb weekend free data and free data for social apps like whatsapp and maps and waze is also a nice option.

Not to mention, Spotify premium is also included FOC as well for all my 3 lines

My initial concern was the troublesome process to reload 3 lines if having to buy reload cards. However, just found out that I could also reload online on hotlink website so thats acceptable to me.

The maxis CS was trying to convince me to switch to MOP but I wasn't interested. When she pestered further, I told her to just proceed with my request considering just two weeks ago, I was prepared to port to digi if not for the long queues at the outlet

Spotify Premium for Hotlink Fast?

My previous iValue simple Spotify premium, once i switch to prepaid straight away premium service got deactivated. But now i prefer Apple Music 

I'm a light call user.... Hotlink Fast is the one for me all the way... why worry so much? top up RM100 for 100days validity... and let the data plan auto renew for you larhh 

and i did a testing. I switch to Hotlink Fast and only do RM5 top up and never buy any daily/weekly/monthly pass. Number is still within validity period but not ride on any data plan. But my phone data is still running on a 4G speed (starter pack free data all expired). Until i update the Clash Royale app, then i only receive a message saying my "Hotlink Social Data" was exhausted. I guess there is a backup data thingy even you exhaust your monthly pass (p/s: i can triple confirm it's not weekend and I'm not ride on any free 2GB weekend data) 

I am on the legacy surfmore 75. Been a maxis customer for thousand years.

Several disadvantages
- No free spotify
- No upgrades to data limit

Feel worthless being with maxis.

I don't call much tho. I seldom even exceed my RM12 (120mins) voice add-on.
Monthly my bill comes to about RM90-RM100.

My data on the other hand is another story. e.g. last month I had 200MB left the day before my renewal.

If your monthly bill averaging at RM90-RM100, then there is even more reason for you to upgrade to MOP98.

does it means postpaid maxis can port to hotlink ?

Yes
What you meant by throttled speed? It's lte/4g for me.

Went to Maxis center and changed to Hotlink Fast.
Immediately felt the savings as I purchased 3GB for RM 38. On top of that there's 2GB for weekend.
Call rate is more or less the same.

I suggest those on this stupid plan to change to Hotlink.
Reason being:
- You get rebates now and then (Free Data for reload).
- No GST charges.
- Garage sales offer reload for 3% discount, more savings.

how to do this? kind of confusing. when i want to buy i see pay with maybank desktop 5% discount, maybank mobile 10% discount. but clicking on it just brought me to bankpatner page.

how long it will take to activate your hotlink sim? mine is already 5 hours. still cannot use. my old sim has been deactivate. do i need to do anything?

most probably. on my other phone (bagus plan) i subscribed to 365 validity and it extend from the day my current validity end and not overlap or start over on the top up day (unlike celcom. seem every telco also have a way to cheat).

Well, since some of us already received the sms, I guess the answer to your original question is: yes, surfmore 50 will be upgraded further to 5gb starting 28 Oct 2016
