the bold is correct., for TNC, dont think so.

they have renamed the plan to hotlink pantas
https://www.hotlink.com.my/en/products/prepaid/

if you bought the 'longer internet validity' data passes, it will valid for 365days. only data passes yeah, not hotlinkmu data passes or those monthly with free calls.
these 365 is only valid for data.

if you want the sim active for 365, then u need to purchase '365 active days period' for rm30.

normally i will buy, the 365 active days for rm30. then another rm30 for 20GB. once the 20GB depleted, then i will buy another rm30 for 20GB quota and this data will valid for 365 days each time u purchase.
if you not heavy data usage and mostly rely on wifi. then total purchase of rm60 ( rm30 for 365 active, rm30 for 20GB) will last u 1 year.

for heavy data usage, i think this plan not suitable as 20GB will easily finish within 1 month or less.

hv u use the hotlink sim registration apps ?
last time that what i did. but need to try multiple times as the software face verification quite strict.

ur question is too general. each person hv diff usage thus diff need and diff plan.
you need to check urself which is the most benefit to u. check the TnC as well.

for this Hotlink Pantas, i hv used it for my phone, my car's android headunit and my wife phone.
bought rm30 for 1 year validity.
and bought rm30 for 20GB of data, valid 1 year.

both me and my wife, always use wifi. so the data only used when going outside. normally i will bought the rm30/20G data few times in a year, my wife's normally bought 2 times. while my car only once. 20G is enough for 1 year of usage for lite youtube, waze/google maps/spotify in my car.

so based on here, i can calculate my spending for my phone alone
= rm30 for 1year validity , around 4x times bought the rm30/20G data = total amount spend for 1 year= rm150 for 80G per year, rm12.5 for 6.6GB per month.
which this amount not include total cost for call, which is pay per use( im very2 seldom use phone call), and sometimes bought the hotlinkMU data passes promo that more cheaper/more GB per rm on festive session like Raya/CNY etc.

its suite my usage and my budget, which is less than rm20 per month.

the only missing is rm30, 20gb option.
lets hope they give cheaper package.
damm. i just want to renew mine. only left few Gbs

can say good bye for this plan already. without those 20GB / rm30 / 1year validity, other package seem not worth it.
