Hello Hotlink Users / Hotlink Customer Service Reps,


This post is about Active/Grace Period.

I'm here wanted to know if anyone has done this before. So, the idea is to pay as cheaply as possible with Hotlink specifically, because only Hotlink/Maxis is good/stable in my area. And I don't make much calls or buy internet data, and I find the Free 1GB/day from Hotlink is enough.

The idea is to pay RM1 on Day 45 to reset the 50 Days Grace period throughout the year.
As an example,
1th Jan (Last Day of Active Period, No make payment / No top up)
2nd Jan \[Day 1 Grace Period\] (Enter Grace Period, No make payment / No top up)
16th Feb \[Day 45 Grace Period\] (Make Payment, for RM1 only)
17th Feb \[Day 0 Grace Period\] (Enter Active Period Day 1 due to RM1, No make payment / No top up)
18th Feb \[Day 1 Grace Period\] (Enter Grace Period, No make payment / No top up)
4th Apr \[Day 45 Grace Period\] (Make Payment, for RM1 only)
Cycle repeats for the year 365Days/45Days = 8.1 \~ RM8+.


So the questions are;
1) Will that RM1 on Day 45 reset the Grace Period to another 50 Days?
2) Anyone tried this before?
3) Is the transition from Grace Period to Active Period instantaneous? If not, how long will it take?

Thank you for your time.

Download the hotlink app, it will shows when your line will be terminated. The date will be refreshed after u reloaded .

yes.
it the same for most prepaid telco.

what u want to do actually ? If no data and celcom 2G is good, switch to celcom mvno with long validity.

Just need the line to receive sms and incoming calls. And the free 1Gb per day. Celcom n digi signals are bad in my area.

There’s no way to get free 1gb daily when you’re in grace period.
BTW, all outgoing usage will be blocked in grace period.

As someone mentioned, you can't use data during the grace period. You can receive calls and SMS
Also the 1GB per day is ending soon (30 April?)
Isn't the minimum topup amount RM5?

If you actually need lots of data, Hotlink's unlimited has been pretty good for me except in Cyberjaya. I've been on the 6Mbit plan + hotspot for the past month or so and the data is stable, and 6Mbit is surprisingly usable even in tethered/hotspot mode to my laptop

Just curious, what's the reward points for? Last month i collected everyday but i couldn't see any interesting deals

to bs u n keep spaming ur account.

Sometimes i use 25point for 2 hours youtube,
Or 35point for 1gb 1 hour,
Because my work flat there dont have wifi,
So have to use data.

Btw hotlink recently really sucks!

the data is not bad.

I like the unlimited hotspot (50GB) , very useful when go to area where no internet

Last night 12am want to claim voucher,
And network down

Wonder what’s that

some pemerkasa thing?

Pemerkasa is not for us. It's for B40.

should i port back to hotlink 🤣

Yup RM15 x 12 months = RM180 from Govt to B40 to either credit or subsidy new phone scheduled to start this month

We can't access fast.com anymore?

Any more info regarding this ?

Still using hotlink red now,
So mean im upgrade to rm35 unlimited,
I can get for rm20?
