With Hotlink Fast, I just got to know that this 1 GB/hour per day is not free as we need to purchase the internet pass to enjoy this free service. Got caught there.
What about this "free" 2 GB for every weekend? Do we need to purchase the internet pass to enjoy the free service?

Thanks for the information but the message I got is suggesting something else. I dialed #868* and this is the message I have got below. They suggested to purchase weekly or monthly internet pass to be able to redeem the free 1GB ?? I got the message at around 4.00 pm yesterday when I tried and it's now 8.15 am and it's the same thing, so I am sure the time is within 7 am to 7 pm when I tried to apply for the 1 GB Free internet. I'll just call Hotlink later to find out.

Just called Hotlink and was informed that this free 2GB (weekends) and 1GB (everyday) is only free when we purchase the internet pass under Happy Hour. So in other words, we have to pay money for the internet pass to enjoy the free data. So it's not really free!! It's only free when you subscribe to the weekly internet pass (minimum RM10/week) or the monthly internet pass (RM30/month).

The 1gb per Sat and Sun is only free if you are purchasing a monthly pass. Min monthly pass is rm30 for 2GB
The free 1gb per hour per day which is actually totally useless is only valid if you are purchasing a monthly pass or weekly pass.
If you just reload rm30 and don't purchase any weekly or monthly pass... It's sorry, no free high-speed internet
Think there is based 64 kbps which is good enough for waze, WhatsApp but not for sending video messages

Weekend pass is available as long as the account is active. Daily free only if you have monthly pass

QUOTE(#Hotlink @ Jun 5 2017, 09:24 AM) Pretty much concisely sums it up perfectly here Well if what you're saying is true, why can't i use my 'free' 2GB right now? I've upgraded to Hotlink FAST for 3 months now and I've not been able to take any privilege of this 'free' weekend pass, not even once. It doesn't prioritise the weekend pass when i have an active pass as well. It feels as if upgrading to this plan has been a scam. My red points from Hotlink RED app also 'vanished' mysteriously...
