I just added a sub line for my iPad from my current Maxis One plan, RM48/month for 5Gb of data.

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.

QUOTE(westlife @ Aug 6 2017, 11:14 AM) true. especially for ipad pro i guess. 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.

I'd rather save up and get the one with cellular. yup, all the ipad i have owned, ipad 2, ipad mini 1, 2, 3 are all cellular + wifi. only the ipad 2017 i bought for my parents is wifi only, since they are retired, always at home.

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.
