Hello,

I have a Maxis 017 number and it has recently expired. I would appreciate if anyone can help to reactivate the expired number.

Your help is very much appreciated.

maxis will get your to sign a postpaid plan to get it back

Really?? but i don't use much cause this number is used by my mum.

I hope can get back the number.

yeah they asked me sign for postpaid to get it back, if not you will have to wait for the number to recycle as prepaid again

when can i know the number would be recycle as prepaid again?

here who i can refer to? i mean hotlink team? i tried to PM, but seem like I cant do so.

I don't think they will tell you...as the prepaid number are sent to dealers. My friend once told me it takes like 6months for it to be recycled

Even if they tell me, I don't think they will know which dealer to get the number.

Low cost way,you can try by signing up hotlink flex since it's maxis postpaid too

That will let me get back my number?

It depends on the number.. mine had to sign on a 188 plan to get it back

Wow! That's out of my budget really... Last time I thought they are able to reactivate the number?

im not sure if they could, but i think that if your number is special then it will drop into the highest postpaid plan. i have another which requires me to sign a 98 plan, although it only expired less than 24hours.

Even if rm98 per month is too expensive. Can Hotlink Flex get the number back?

no harm trying, walk in to their service centre and they can check it out for you. but for my case, they didnt offer to me using hotlink flex

Ya, I think I would walk in to maxis service centre and try. Really hope can get back the number without have to spend a lot.

let me know if you are able to get it back want to know if there's alternative to signing a postpaid plan for it

just to update:

I can get the number back HOWEVER under postpaid service and needs to locks with MaxisONE plan 158 for 24 months.

that's so much ridiculous I must say!

Is there any other way I could get the number back with only prepaid plan? RM158 X 24 = RM 3792 not including tax!

When YB Gobind Singh look into broadband, I think he would also need to look into such matter!
