hotlink is also. 2gb for rm30 monthly.

xpax is cheaper and more data. but hotlink has the best network speed.

as long as u avoid the yellow and orange. it should be ok.

Also not bad deal. But rm48 is excluding the GST.

Yup excluding GST, but I get to have the 5Gb of shared data across so in total I have quite a fair bit of data between my phone and my iPad including my dad's line (which I am paying for his sub line as well).

True then, indeed u can have more data to use since the weekday data is shared.

To me, I will choose xpax rm30 5gb monthly if it is to be used on ipad.

I have owned an iPad 2 (wifi only) and a iPad Air 2 (cellular). Once you have used a iPad with cellular capability, you will not want to go back to wifi only. I'd rather save up and get the one with cellular.

If it's possible, you can try to buy this Hotlink tablet plan from someone if you're not using too much of data especially on iPad. RM45 for 2GB THAT LAST 365 DAYS. I only use wine house wifi is slow or during travel and emergency.
Glad I got this plan.... when it's offered. Value for money. Attached Image Attached Image
