RM30 for unlimited calls/sms and 1 gig data, good for those with low data usage!

The downside is have to reload every month

It's a postpaid plan

This is a postpaid plan. I called Hotlink CS, they told me need to pay GST 6% for this plan only for 1st bill, after that no more GST.

If only they put YouTube in the Unlimited Social option

Cannot la bro, if they put this in, the network will be jammed!

Ookyo do provide unlimited youtube for RM 12.
Base plan Rm30+Rm12+Calls/sms Rm 8

Total Rm 50
1000mins calls/sms
4gigs data
Unlimited chat/unlimited music
Unlimited youtube (480p)

Do we need to top up?..or pay bills?..

Pay bill

does they throttle speed with their "unlimited"

postpaid dont need pay every month?

hotlink prepaid is offer better than this. cheaper and more data

I took the package with spotify. No throttle speed.
Downside is need to enable VPN. Otherwise it will deduct ur main data from 4gb.

Hotlink is always prepaid. But don't huai maxis don't group this plan under their umbrellas. Weird. But 30$ for unlimited all net call is the cheapest . Waiting digi response. Man.

lol then why called it as a postpaid plan
as we only pay RM 31.80 (after RM 30 gst) for the 1st month

Don't get smoked. Postpaid all gst gaogao. Talk is cheap. Unless they issue black and white stating only first month gst applicable. But I smell rat.

dont think so. postpaid always have to paid gst. it under mcmc rules.
postpaid is used first paid month later. dont paid name goes to blacklist pool.
first mionth stamp duty + gst
every month gst

ya that what I thought too
but still better ask for more info 1st before subscribe

Their main aim is to change all those with hotlink fast to others.

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:

Yesterday go to sign up this plan at Maxis Center and being told that it's included with 6% GST every month billing

This post has been edited by alexleow81: Feb 28 2018, 09:33 AM

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.

welcome to Hotlink @ Maxis club!

Hi,

1. Does the first bill include RM 10 stamp duty like normal postpaid?
2. RM30 is GST inclusive or it will be much more after we include GST?

Thank you.

Wait for the 1st bill to come 1st! Then only can tell you

Maxis doesn’t charge any stamp duty for new Postpaid registration.


RM30 is said to be a nett subscription fee. It means the monthly commitment fee of RM30 for Hotlink Postpaid Flex is already inclusive of GST.

Wow. Omg. This is for one month only?

maybe. will know once bill issue next month.

Noted. Thanks. 👌👌

Maxis center customers service told me cannot change supplementary line to hotlink red , then to hotlink flex. They said got GST charge as it is postpaid.

Well I’ll stay away from this until I got more clarity , and for maxis to make up its mind whom they allow to sign up to this plan.

Other than the 5GB add-on, is there any other choice for general data add-on? (I don't care for that social/music stuff.)

They already said who can sign up for this plan.

Meaning thus postpaid Flex is already include gst in the rm 30 ? That mean I no need add gst?

According to Alexleow81, yes. The RM30 is already inclusive of GST.

Anyway, I re-read his post. He wasn't clear if it is included or it is going to be included. So there could be a chance that the 6% GST is not yet included. Better clarify with Maxis again.



There is a chance that they can't purposely change your current Maxis Postpaid to Hotlink Prepaid just so you can change to Hotlink Postpaid Flex. One can try to change to Hotlink Prepaid first, and only go back to Maxis Centre to change to Hotlink Postpaid Flex next time.

Digi has much better plan at RM38/month, with 4 Gig data, almost unlimited calls , 10 gig youtube, 5 gig music freedom. and it's prepaid with all the flexibility.

This post has been edited by Chrono-Trigger: Mar 4 2018, 09:10 AM

Nice info. Do share with us one you guys get a more definitive answer. Thank you in advance.

Anybody ady sign up this plan?

almost unlimited call and unlimited call is different. but still a better option. digi super terrer.

If currently on the old rm50 postpaid plan, need to convert to prepaid then convert again to flex?



Can anyone who've subscribed check is the rm 10 in the app? 30+10 should be enough for my usage.

This post has been edited by donthitmyface: Mar 4 2018, 08:47 PM

the free 5GB can last for how long?
one time or montly, hahaha

Where do I check if I get the same 5GB starter? Now I can only see my 1GB in the app.

Yup. Wait for first month bill confirmation. Now can't conclude yet.

U register by e-mail bill?

He better be. Otherwise need to fork out another RM10.

When you register, make sure to ask for e-billing!

Wah so expensive other telco charge rm5

Yeah, I was shocked when they told me the charge.

How is the service they provide to u?

Any specific thing that you want to know?

500 mins to non-Digi and 500mins to digi , is almost unlimited to me , maximum I use about 300mins to non digi

I mean the service like network and charges .
Do you need to subscribe to this package?

300mins is like rm90.00 for prepaid call rate at 30sen/min wo.

end of the day. it's all based on personal preference. so if u using 300 min. then go for the the package which meets your requirement.

Yea. I was just saying that the unlimited calls is a great marketing gimmick but whether one needs it or not is another matter.

Don't act like everyone just like you. It may sounds like a marketing gimmick, but those who need it will find the 'gimmick' quite useful.

This post has been edited by Chrono-Trigger: Mar 5 2018, 09:57 PM

True. I'm using like 2 hours on the phone daily.

I didn't try it yet. Coz got many sim to use right now. Lol

Lol

How do you keep track of all of them?

Network ok. Charges need to wait for my bill.

Don't forget to up us thanks, I want to take this but currently I job less can't commit too much

Sure bro. I'll do that.

Thanks

went to change from Hotlink to this plan as it suits my usage
the person at the counter seems very reluctant to change, guess it must have affected their maxis postpaid sales

Which branch you went? I went to The Starling Mall and everything went very smoothly!

Well hotlink is still under maxis why must be disappointed , which branch is that ?

I went to TTDI to port in to Hotlink Flex from U Mobile and Digi and the staff did not try to upsell me or insist on add ons

NSK Kuchai

Noted , hope hotlink postpaid Flex slove your usage but does 1 gb data enough for you actually?

Yes because home and work all got wifi, really no need so much data

Totally agree, I am also in the same situation!

Yes. Once you change no more weekend 4G
Read t&c properly

my phone can read the sim card phone no, right now I got 2 digi, one maxis, and 3 unifi. Not difficult to keep track lar.just keep it in separate casing for those not in use sim. And remember the expiry date.
