Have been using maxis one 98 for 5 months now.

Feel that it is overkilled (10gb weekday + 10gb weekend) cannot utilize more than 50% monthly, unlimited call (use less than 50 minutes each month, SMS - almost no usage)

Now move to hotlink. I can sign up rm30 2GB monthly plan. It should be more than enough for my usage with occasional calls. Should be less than rm35 per mth of total which I estimate even factor in pay per use calls or SMS.

Now with just merely rm30 2GB data,

I am backup with
1) free calls to 5 maxis/hotlink no
2) 8GB of weekend data
3) 30GB of daily 1 hour data. (1gb per day to be used for 1 hour)

Great saving. 😜👍

Conversion at maxis centre took only less than 3 minutes to process.
After completed the transaction at counter and was given the new SIM card. The moment I step out from the centre, immediately my maxis postpaid card is disabled and hotlink one is actually activated. So efficient.

Good idea,I wanna switch to hotlink too since my postpaid look like wasted.
Any charge from maxis if I switch to hotlink?
And how about previous pending payment? Have to settle immediately ?
Thanks

If from maxis postpaid to hotlink is totally free.

If from other telco to hotlink. Then just need to buy the hotlink fast prepaid starter kit to switch.

300MB is bundled for any hotlink starters kit one.

1gb is free if u login to hotlink red app.

2gb weekend data is life time benefit as long ur line is active.

Very worthwhile for the switch for me. As I only need to pay rm30++ instead of maxis one 98 rm98 for the same usage I have now and again i can be on maxis network.

I think hotlink rm30 2gb plan will be the best to those who needs data for basic surfing.

Rm50 5gb bundled that comes with 100mins free call I also very nice monthly pass that give sufficient call time.

RM0.00: Sorry, but your current provider, MAXIS denied your request to switch to Celcom. We can provide you details, just call us at 0196011111. Sincerely, Celcom.

if u use calls a lot. this 2gb plan rm30 monthly internet pass may not fit you.

if you use more than 50 mins per month. u are better off to go for the rm50 5gb + 100 min Internet pass. This one comes with free calls and again you get more data.
this rm50 pass is quite value for money for heavier user. given the price you paid and what you get.

2gb - rm30
3gb - rm38 - only rm8 for extra 1G
5gb - rm50 - rm20 for extra 2 gb but you get extra 100 free minutes to call


personally i do not make so much calls, and i can call using the free 50 mins from my another celcom first basic 38 line.
so for hotlink, the 2gb pass is sufficient for me. not to forget every day there is 1gb free extra data to use for one hour. and weekend got 2gb. more than enough. biggrin.gif

yes, in terms of price and bundled package, digi is cheaper for sure. especially for 1000 mins free talktime, it is as good as unlimited calls for most.

but personally i prefer maxis and i am happier to be with maxis network. calls wise hotlink indeed cannot fight with digi. but hotlink rm38 is 4gb, so this is same with digi, plus daily 1gb for one hour (30gb per month) and 8gb weekend per month. data wise i feel that hotlink wins in this department.

for me who does not use so much calls, i am ok with hotlink. thumbsup.gif i may consider to take hotlink rm50 5gb + 100mins plan if i find that my usage exceed 2gb rm30 + celcom first basic 38 rm38 3gb + 50mins.

price is one factor for decision, but i care more about the overall user experience which it is something that not only price can justify for it. tongue.gif

Celcom has more data for their internet plan for cheaper price but their freebies are not as good as maxis that is really usable.
