I am still using the old plan, which allows 365 for like $35 or so.

I want to switch my wife plan to Hotlink but is there still a way to get a Hotlink prepaid plan that allows 365 validity at a fee?

If so, just walk into a hotlink store and get it done?

Thks in adv !

This plan no longer available a few years already.

Try look for onexox heard it can valid till 2 years.

What a pity. Thks for ur info.

But XOX 2 yrs validity is only 1 time. After 2 yrs it will revert back to the usual RM1 top-up = 1-day validity. Not a long term solution for me as this line is low usage. Furthermore, XOX port in page do not like Unifi as an option so I tried to port in also cannot.

Tune Talk hv a $30+ 365 Validity option. So far this is my only one I found.

Good tune talk offer what you need.

Hi, I actually spoke to a customer care officer just a while back about the 365 validity thing. Just sharing what I learned from that long convo.

I'm still using the old HYC plan that charges internet pay-per-use despite having valid internet passes. So the officer suggested that if I still want to get the 365 validity after migrating to new plan (which won't charge for internet pay-per-use), I can migrate from HYC to Hotlink Red, then downgrade to Hotlink# (can be done via *100# acc to him). BUT, the catch is I can only purchase the 365 validity three months after the plan change, and 1st purchase will cost RM60 (subsequent ones will be RM33 as usual).

Not sure if this info will apply to your case, but can always call Hotlink at 123 to double check or drop by one of their stores.

Thks... I think for so much trouble and all the uncertainties, I might just go for Tunetalk or XOX (26 mths validity, then port over to Tunetalk). From what I hear they are using Celcom which is also not too bad coverage for 4G.

But the above info in interesting if I ever want to go with Hotlink (maxis). Thks again.

if usage is low, consider unifi too

Hahaha currently the telco is Unifi. Yes very cheap pay RM10 1 gig data no expiry just keep using till finish which can be =3 trips to Msia. I go KL once a mth.

BUT... omg the Unifi is quite unusable, not sure if me or what but after 6 mths of trying its quite bad. No 4G when indoors in places like Kuantan mall... zero upload capability when I am in Bangsar. Its just quite annoying using it.

this is why I want to port out.

long validity cards:
altel rm28/year with free slow data
tunetalk rm35 or rm100with 10gb slow data or rm200 with 120gb fast data
xox 28 month free
yoodoo rm3/month = rm36 with lots of sms

all these pakai celcom line so no issue.

big telcos no longer offer long year validity.

Thks for the list.... I will chk it out. Ease of topup while overseas / app monitoring is also important for convenient sake.

seems so

Somewhat in the similar case with you, i'm also considering unifi bebas prepaid

What is Hotlink#?
If Hotlink red downgrade to Hotlink#, the credit balance still remain?

I gave up with Unifi after 7 mths of usage over my 5x trips to Msia ... it failed to connect to any 4G when I was inside Kuantan's East Coast Mall, in Bangsar/Damansara few times it failed to upload anything, in NS highway also always no data signal while the Hotlink (Maxis) is still hving a good enough 4G signal. Only good is when in Mid-valley the Unifi 4G was good... but somehow speedtest always shows the upload speed is slow to almost a turtle crawl.

So I already switched to XOX now. So far their FB msg reply is fast (3 hrs to 10 hrs will reply) and the package is actually very ideal for not seasoned users like many who only go to Msia once in 1-2 mths

XOX's Season pass of 20GB for RM100 / 30GB RM150 with NO expiry as long as ur line is still active, is also something I think I can take advantage of.



It is just a confusing name Hotlink give where "#Hotlink" is the plan name, it took away the 365 validity option. Once u upgrade to #Hotlink then u lose that feature but ur credit balance remains the same.

But now no more #Hotlink plan, they movedo n to SUPERRRR and RED .... RED is also a very confusing name for a plan as their App is also called RED

Confusing names they gave to their plans.

Downgrade to hotlink#? What is this hotlink#?

If wants good coverage and speed, maxis and Celcom are the two only choices.

if upgraded my HYC plan ,the new plan buy 365 validity will still available ?

i think just migrate to hotlink pantas and you are good to go.....

yes, old pantas one one still can convert to now to buy the 365 pantas pass.

If change plan to pantas now will be able to get the 365 plan or is that for old pantas users only???

The current Prepaid Pantas plan does have 365 day subscription at RM30.

Thanks for the reply,I will get this plan then.

can guide how to find this 365 days subscription? i have been browsing but seems cant find this 365 thingy

+internet -> Others -> hot deals/365 days

Yes found it thanks a lot

i would like to ask, what's the cheapest hotlink (maxis) package now?
Purpose: for my old folks, basically juz looking for cheapest rate with long validity with minimal data usage monthly. (500mb) also sufficient

thank you

Hotlink prepaid Fast/Pantas, not hotlink prepaid 1.0 .
Top up RM10 for 30 days validity/active sim OR deduct from credit RM30 for 365 day sim validity.
For data buy 365 day validity data at RM2/1GB or RM4/2GB or RM10/5GB.

This will keep the number active for 365 days?

Yes. Im currently on my 2nd year after switching to this in order to keep my number active.

are we able to convert hotlink prepaid to fast/pantas?

Yes just click change plan in the hotlink app.

Excellent! Thank you!

.... and kena RM2 charge deduction (from credit) for changing plan from Prepaid 1.0 to Pantas.

-double post-

This post has been edited by zeng: Mar 10 2024, 08:57 PM

AFAIK, it is charging RM5 for converting plan.

This post has been edited by hashtag2016: Mar 11 2024, 12:30 PM

Indeed. Maybe that plan has discount to upgrade at that time..

Change from Extra Plan to Pantas Plan which I did just a few days ago charge is RM2.
Hotlink CS informed if change from Prepaid 1.0 Plan to Pantas Plan, the charge is RM5.

Prepaid 1.0 to Pantas is RM2, correct.

But Pantas to Prepaid 1.0 is RM5.

i purchased new simpack, its call hotlink prepaid plan that combine pantas and unlimited. but after browsing the apps, looks like there are no more hotlink 365

Try ask those seller in shopee that still selling the UNI5G simcard about MNP.
If can get long validity with low cost.

UNI5G , NOT Uni5G WOW. There are two different thing.

u want hotlink 365 days right?
then launch the hotlink app, click "myhotlink" button, choose your exist plan name , and click upgrade, then choose "pantas plan".
btw, I'm not sure if any limitation for the "new simpack". If u don't see the upgrade button or pantas plan, maybe u still not qualify to change plan, please try again another month.

u have to purchase 365 days validity for RM30 explicitly.

---
updated: just double check their t&c, seems that u shall convert the plan without any issue. only charge RM2

i'm looking to MNP out from XOX to hotlink 1.0 (then convert app to pantas) (365 validity)

i asked CS at maxis store, if i wanna maintain my number, they told me i couldn't right away MNP to hotlink 1.0, but i needed to take a package first for rm30/month for 6months minimum

is it true?

This post has been edited by kucingfight: Mar 15 2024, 01:38 PM

Not true.
Change the CS guy or change the CS centre.

hi sifu, can i just purchase the 365 active period without purchase the 365 data pass?

yes, you can

data pass and validity are separate purchases

Noted. Thank. Cos I just need it active to just make a few call for 1 whole year.

How is the process to do this Prepaid Pantas 365days with a new SIMPACK?
Im assuming it goes something like we go the Hotlink Website and purchase the simcard pack (basically generic all equal starter plans?) with RM10. Can't choose number I assume? Then follow through, pay by FPX then wait for the simcard sent, once rcvd then put in phone and got like Rm5 credit maybe ? Or rm10? Later on self topup another rm30 or so then need to use the apps to change the plan to 365 pantas?

Now I am on Hotlink prepaid 1. Can this plan buy the validity 365 days? Or I have to upgrade to pantas plan then only can buy validity 365 days (only need validity not need data validity)

Only pantas prepaid can buy 365 day validity.

Hi all, may I know where can I get the 365 data plan? I only got the 180 days data plan. And after we purchase the 365 data(or the 180 days data) plan, do it come with 5g connectivity?

Are you on Pantas?

And no, 365 is not a 'data plan', it is a validity plan only. You get 365 days of validity. That's all. No data, that must be purchased separately.

If you plan to actually use data, the 180 days plan is more worth it.

Understand. I found the data for 365, which have to purchase separately cost rm2/gb. Is this data got speed cap and can use 5G? Cos for the 180 days data cap at 3mbps.

for internet passes purchased under "Longer Internet Validity" there is no speed cap at the moment, and yes can connect to 5G without additional charges
This is based on my experience using the old Pantas plan, which I assume should be the same for the new one as well

if i port in to hotlink prepaid now, am i still able to get/change over to pantas plan? because im looking to get the 365 days line validity. thanks

Yes. Change to pantas plan (change in hotlink apps, rm2 charge) then can buy 365 validity

After I change to pantas plan, can I still subscribe to a 5G data plan with no speed cap for a month or two?

And can I purchase an esim directly from the website? Didn't seem to see this option, and push esim onto my iPhone?

Just need for short term use when I'm back home for data. Thanks in advance for the help

Any Hotlink prepaid plan can convert to pantas?

Also, upon the end of 365 days, how do we again extend another 365 days? Can't seem to find info on website

everything mentioned above can be done in hotlink app for now 👌🏻

if i activate 365 validity on 1st Jan 25, and buy 1 year worth data on 1st Feb 25, will i still be able to use the data from 1st Jan 26?

Just changed to Pantas plan.
And bought 365 validity.
Thanks to info on this thread.

Maxis website - hopeless , lack of clear info.

The data will remain (if not exhausted), but you will need to reactivate your account by reload in order to use it.

Anyone HYC plan user still can activate 365 validity?

Anyone, please help. I forgot to topup my hotlink and used the pantas. I just realised it today...how..hm looks like my number is not longer with hotlink/maxis..

Tried contact the help but it was the virtual staff lol..any idea how can i get my number back since i have been using it since high school..or any alternative, please

If its longer than expiry period then no way to get it back unfortunately. You should have gotten SMS warnings along the way. If it expired less than 30 days ago all you need to do is reload. More than 30 days (I think it may be 60? not sure) then sorry to say no way to get back. I've had people try to go to top management in Maxis to ask this also, as far as I know tak jadi.

how long is your forgot? if few days there still possible but if weeks to months no more

Thank you, less than 30 days...but unfortunately couldnt access the hotlink website already..

The due is 11 aug..about 17 days..😔

Please learn to multi-quote....

Anyway is 11 august the expiry of validity or expiry of number? If expiry of validity then just reload money now and can use. If expiry of number then.... sorry no cure.

Went thru 2hrs of reading, can't find any info in Hotlink app about porting in(can't sign in also, as they needed me to have a hotlink no). just to be sure the ways of porting to prepaid pantas. rn, im on XOX mobile. I need a plan just for validity. so is this what i should do?

1. send a port out request to xox
2. buy a hotlink prepaid card(where can i get it)?
3. port in to hotlink?

or shall i buy the hotlink prepaid card first, before porting out XOX?

You can port out from XOX mobile to Hotlink prepaid by online visiting at Hotlink website.
or
Pay a visit at physical maxis store.

i was in hotlink website, but when i entered my XOX mobile no, it says invalid. Then, i went to Whatsapp support, & got stuck at the system sending me TAC, that i've nvr received. I restarted my phone, restarted the whatsapp process, but still no receive any SMS TAC

Hi everyone,

I'm thinking of getting the Hotlink Pantas plan for my mother who just needs it for emergency calls. I read that I can buy a 365 validity plan for RM30 to keep the line active for 365 days.


1. May I know if the voice plan is included in the RM30 or need to pay separately?

2. If I forget to buy another 365 validity plan after it ends, will there be a grace period before my phone number is terminated? And how long?


Thank you!

1) there's no voice plan include

2) the grace period for hotlink prepaid is 30 days after validity expiry.


Suggestions:
for hotlink prepaid pantas, top up rm10 every month and get sim card validity for 30 days, the accumulate credit balance can be used as emergency call 🤙

Hihi for the Pantas Plan 365 validity, it mentions that the validity is only for Internet. How do I get the validity for my postpaid number's validity?

After you activate the Pantas Plan, go buy the 365 validity plan for RM30 via the Hotlink App. That will keep your phone number valid for 365 days. As for internet data, you need to buy additional plans also via the Hotlink App. The validity is 365 days or until quota runs out, whichever come first.

But the Pantas Plan is only for Hotlink Prepaid users. Hotlink Postpaid has other plans and as far as I know, there is no 365 validity plan as you need to pay your bills every month.

Hope that helps.
