Digi live prepaid internet plan RM38 already offers sort of unlimited calls (500 mins digi, 500mins other telcos) and 4 GB data + 2.5GB youtube-music / week.

But Rm30 for unlimited calls/sms + 1 GB data is very good price for low data users.

Latest Update:

this is certainly better from my current maxis postpaid for talk and surf - RM38 limited minutes calls / sms and 1GB internet

I think it's not allowed to change to this plan from Maxis Postpaid.

Only if you are on Hotlink Fast Plan. The recently introduced Hotlink Red Plan no longer offers free weekend data.


So one thing is clear now. RM30 is a nett price as it is GST inclusive.

Another uproar from their cust later. Already see ppl complaining in their fb page.

hopefuly they can come out with more combo option i.e. 300 minutes + 20 sms + 3gb for RM30 rather than current very limited option.

This plan isn't worth it. Howling Red is worth more than this

Unlikely.

The aim of this plan is to encourage prepaid users to convert to postpaid plan, which has lower churn rates. If you look at Maxis plan, their prepaid is tailored in such a way that it

i. gives you lots of data at RM35- Rm45 range, but expensive call rates
ii. gives you unlimited call/sms at RM30, but limited data
ii. give you both unlimited calls/sms and lots of data for plan > RM55

It looks like the RM55 plan (unlimited calls/sms + 6 Gb data) is the cheaper version of East Malaysia Maxisone RM68 plan ( unlimited calls/sms + 10 GB data)

well there are ways to circumvent this, but it's very troublesome...

need to separate supplementary line then convert maxis postpaid, then port out to other telco. Wait 1 month cool-off period, port back to Hotlink postpaid.

the lesser plan the better, less confusion.

at the same time, as a maxis user, better that maxis have less customers, so less congestion.

hotlink prepaid.
rm60 = 8GB + Free Social + unlimited call
hotlink flex.
rm85= 8GB + Free social + unlimited call.

assuming 1GB rm10

hotlink start price war at unlimited call and sms plan.

A fair comparison should be :
Hotlink Postpaid Flex
RM55/month = 6GB + unlimited calls + unlimited SMS

Hotlink Fast
RM60 = 8GB all day + 8GB weekend + unlimited calls + free social

Hotlink Red
RM60 = 8GB all day + unlimited calls + free social

Data is undoubtedly very important these days but calls and SMS still have their own value depending on one’s lifestyle and profession. The new Hotlink Postpaid Flex is good for people who don’t really need a lot of data and who do not hook on to Facebook or WhatsApp all the time. This plan after all, is still RM5 cheaper than Hotlink Fast and Hotlink Red with similar offerings.

Anyway, overall it is good that Maxis is trying to cater to consumers of all segments.

This Hotlink Flex plan is cater for those who TALK more and SURF less. This plan add-on package only given 5GB of data per month which I think is utterly nonsense in current competitive market. They should given more options such as 20GB, 30GB or 100GB for us to choose instead of given a peanut 5GB of data which is worst than their current Hotlink RED plan. Stupid decision making for coming out this plan.

DIGI INFINITE 150 - Unlimited Data and Tettering + Unlimited Calls = Excellent
CELCOM FIRST PLATINUM PLUS - 100GB Data + 100GB VideoWalla + Unlimited Social Chat + Unlimited Calls = Good
MAXIS PLAN 188 - 60GB Data + Unlimited Calls = Worst

Purposely walk in their centre register for this plan. They so pushy keep asking me top up another rm25 for total 6gigs data. I die die don wan add anything. Only rm30.

They got so impatient n gimme the muka masam look. So funny lol looking at their mad face.

The reason they do not offer a 20GB, 30GB or 100GB add-on is because they do not want to cannibalise their own MaxisONE Plan. But of course, if you are in East Malaysia, the MaxisONE Plan 68 definitely is a very competitive plan.

I think Maxis has made it quite clear that they will not compete on price but quality. DiGi Infinite Plan is cheap but it’s not the plan for everyone. And as more people sign up for DiGi Infinite Plan and abuse it like no tomorrow, it puts a huge burden on DiGi’s network and that is not good for DiGi subscribers. I’m a very long time DiGi user. DiGi sometimes is good and sometimes not. I am using Maxis too and stability wise, Maxis easily beats DiGi hands down.

As for Celcom. Celcom is like the most complained telco in Malaysia after U Mobile

Ok. Digi target and maxis target are different. But for me I would prefer maxis. Coz it is unlimited all net. As for data. Get another sim just for data. Digi prepaid data is the best so far. No one can fight I dunno know about u mobile. As my areas no service.

definitely the y will not allow...telco always evil

changed plan from fast to flex today. they suggest to subs 5gb as well, since it can be easily done via app, I opted not to. just want to see how fast going to finish the 1 gb. to my surprise, it includes free 5gb as a starter.
