After reading all threads, now I understand why my hotlink tablet plan suddenly can't even connect to maxis network, while the 2gb valid till may 2018. It really a maxis scam,change of the plan without written inform or any sms. Maxis #Hotlink

from my conversation with the hotline care, the operator is saying that my 2GB tablet plan will still be rm45, and will be valid for 1 year after I renew it, including keeping the phone line active.
*
i'm also 1 of the victim.

trust me, YES that 2gb rm45 (also got 1gb rm25) valid for 365 days.
but NOT your prepaid validity. this will follow normal hotlink plan.

please share with us, few info from your hotlink red app?
what is the plan name?

mine:
internet: tablet 2gb for 365 days - expires 17 mar 2018
balance: rm15 - termination date 11 oct 2017
settings - rate plan: broadband

previously (2016),
internet and balance will have same expiry date! even the balance is rm0
rate plan: tablet plan!

PPU is not a data plan .. it is Pay Per Use or Pay As You Use Data at 2 cents / MB.

Now with Validity 1 year at only RM 10 .. worth to get compared to Hotlink.

With TuneTalk, you get to use it for voice, sms and data. Tablet Plan is only for data... no SMS, voice calls, etc.

With so many telco providers now, there are options but Malaysians mentality have to change since majority thinks Maxis is the best, hence the dominate and not being competitive.

Plain laziness also as I have heard some funny comments of Maxis users in Maxis centre .. hahaha.

But not to be a fool like the rest, I plan to revise my plan every 1 - 2 years.

There is so much data online, especially in forums, to make your own judgement on what is good for you since this is based on individual needs.

the thing is, this hotlink tablet plan previously is 2gb valid for 365 days together with sim validity. most people use it as a 2nd or backup sim (i'm 1 of them), purely for data (the original plan itself not supporting call & outgoing sms) - not for primary sim / number doh.gif

for primary sim to call sms of course they are so many plan available out there. no need 1 - 2 years, every 3 months also can port, or every month can change plan within telco sweat.gif

OK, so as I expected, my SIM card has stopped working after the balance expiry date.  vmad.gif The app doesn't work anymore as well, but this time I am prepared and  took a screenshot of the page showing that my "Tablet 2GB 365 days" plan has 1.4gb left and should expire in June 2018. How is it even logical that I have a valid data plan but an expired SIM ?

Now thinking whether or not to waste time and energy pursuing Maxis on this

this is what hotlink done to tablet plan as me and other members talking about.

the data is valid for 365 days, but number validity is following standard prepaid topup validity vmad.gif vmad.gif vmad.gif

dont waste your time. hotlink will always win because they changed the t&c already bye.gif

There was another chat regarding the Top Up since keeping extra credit does not benefit the user.

In order to do this, you can top up RM 30 + RM 10 + RM 5 to a total of RM 45 for 2GB for 365 days.

but topup rm30+rm10+rm5 if in 1 time, your validity is only 30 days!

seems now need to topup rm50 then rm30, buy 365 validity rm33 then only buy 2gb 365 days rm45.
now is rm78 for 2gb for 365 days doh.gif

its time to go for other telco ~
