QUOTE(MilesAndMore @ Mar 12 2022, 11:57 PM) No unfortunately. But with rumour rife that iPhone 15 (year 2024) may no longer offer physical sim slot, it's just a matter of time that Maxis extends eSIM service to Hotlink Prepaid since they can't afford to lose their Hotlink Prepaid users using iPhone. What is current status for Hotlink eSIM?

QUOTE(BlackBananaV6 @ Oct 27 2022, 09:46 AM) What is current status for Hotlink eSIM? Still the same, eSIM is only for postpaid. Celcom also doesn't offer eSIM for prepaid. Strange how Digi, Umobile able to offer eSIM for prepaids but biggest telco couldn't.

How about Hotlink Postpaid? https://www.maxis.com.my/en/faq/products-se.../sim-card/esim/looks like hotlink postpaid can support esim QUOTE Who is eligible to activate eSIM? Maxis eSIM is available for all Maxis mobile postpaid customers including Hotlink Postpaid Flex and Corporate plans. It is available for new line registrations and existing customers.
Where can I get Maxis eSIM? Maxis eSIM is available at all Maxis Centres, Maxis Exclusive Partners and Maxis Online Store (for new device purchase only).
Will I be tied to a contract if I activate eSIM? The eSIM is like any other SIM cards hence it is not tied to any contracts. However if you signed up on a new device package with Maxis, you will be tied to a contract.
Do I have to sign up to any specific rateplan in order to use eSIM? There is no specific rateplan for eSIM. You can use eSIM with any current plans of Maxis Postpaid Plan, Hotlink Postpaid and Corporate Plans.

The post above yours literally confirmed that eSIM is available for Hotlink Postpaid though. I have friends who use eSIM and basically it has no difference when compared to conventional SIM

Really think Hotlink should allow esim for prepaid. It’s cost saving for them too, no? ie: can reduce amount of physical sim cards to manufacture + lower manpower needed at physical branches.

I use Yoodo too. Ok I don’t work/go to Singapore so no idea about their esim situation there. I really like Yoodo’s esim. Took literally 5 minutes to setup (bought small data plan and random num to play around with esim). Just don’t see a future with Yoodo yet because they are in a state of limbo due to CelcomDigi merger.

Becos celcom network is good in whole bolehland in terms of coverage. Esim is really seamless to setup. I just want to want to keep this pantas plan on my main bolehland no. But I need to use random no for yoodo on my iPhone. Not sure what will happen to yoodo eventually. Just enjoy while it still exists. It is really good for light user. 20GB is more than enough for me per month unless I am on travelling to other state. Just paying rm20 per mo is nice.

Yeah I'm thinking of porting out my main hotlink to Yoodo but it won't be soon. Or may never happen if Yoodo's status is uncertain. But back to Hotlink. Still annoying why they cannot offer esim. I mean it'll cost them less CAPEX to do it. Ughhh.

I just dropped by to their centre in sunway few days ago. In order to use esim in watch which share the same number in my phone, only maxis postpaid 98 and onwards is supported. ...

on iPhone, there is a convert to eSIM option in the iPhone menu. I am on Hotlink prepaid and i manage to get till the conversion page (redirected to Maxis webpage) where they ask me for IC/Passport Number and email address used to registered.
After a few tries, i got the IC/Passport Number correct but the email address always shows as invalid.
@Hotlink would you advise if i can get the registered email address from you?

This is because eSIM is not available for prepaid user. Thus the process will never success if you are trying to do so. Hope Maxis is listening that those prepaid user have been waiting for so many years

They say esim is problematic if you factory reset your phone, need to go back SC to get new esim. That's why I'm still using nano Sim for convenience
