to me that daily discount aint worth it.if you were to use more then RM6 per day on calls you're better off with a postpaid plan

Frankly speaking, my daily usage is hardly reaching RM 6 ...

So, it's not really beneficial to me ...

Hey guys, just wondering, what's the difference between a 017-6xx xxxx number and, for example, a 017-2xx xxxx number?

A friend once told me that the 4th number represents the state. 3 and 6 for KL and 4 for Penang.

Does it make a difference nowadays? Want to switch to Hotlink, and was wondering what kind of number I should get.

And also, I've been reading through the thread, and it seems that there are many types of plans available. How will I know which prepaid simpack is using which plan?

Thanks in advance for the help

It doesn't really represent the state but it could represent which region your number belongs to; Central, Northern, Southern, Eastern or East Malaysia (Sabah/Sarawak).

It does matter as the newer Hotlink plans' (Total & Easy) call rate is calculated based on regions.

When you made a call within the same region, it'll be cheaper compared to an inter-region call.

Generally, 2, 3, 6 and part of 9 will be considered as Central Region. 4 and 5 for Northern. 7 for Southern. Most of the 9 are Eastern. And lastly, 8 for Sabah and Sarawak.

Thanks David.

So that means if I live in KL, I should be safe getting a number starting with 2,3 or 6?

-edit-

Just wondering, when I register my number, is it possible to fax to Maxis? If so, is there a general number that I can use?

Thanks again.

You will be safe regardless of what number you get, only the ppl who called you will be affected.

Usually in term of determinating which region (for call rate), usually the caller will suffer.

Let say, your number is a Central region and your caller is from other regions, he/she has to pay more.

The same thing when you call your friends. If his/her number is not same region as you, you'll be charged more.

Thanks for the info.

Will be joining Hotlink club soon

Do you guys know about whether I can fax my registration?

Ok thank you

under Total plan...
nope....i'm not in campus that time

Dude, Network must be set for either UMTS or dual mode....
You set your 6630 to dual mode coz it don't have UMTS mode option

Hie.. im a hotlink user... do anyone of u know about the international roaming charges??
izzit when we receiving call at overseas... it will be charge on us also??

we're charged according to the numbers we call? i thought the location of the receiver at the moment we call.

Calls charges are based on:

1. Current location of the caller AND
2. Where the number called is registered
