How much they are going to charge after the free trial? I surely don't need that service.

But it is indeed a true unlimited plan. With throttled speed at 0.5Mbps, you can still do general browsing, just that it’s going to be slow. Go to US, US telco too offer similar unlimited mobile data plan with similar wording in English.

Maxis' marketing strategy: If u cant convince them, confuse them...change t&c last minute after public outcry

They same goes with Umobile unlimited 50 plan.

Here's hoping hotlink (or other Telco) introduces 512kbps no FUP for rm10/month

In dream perhaps lol

Do you have the prefix 03 number for the careline? I want to avoid the prefix 1300 number as it is chargeable.

Exactly. If its in the US, they could be sued for misleading the consumer.
But in Malaysia, lol, if someone reports to KDNHEP.. NATO.
Then its back to Maxis with their - "We reserve the rights to change the Terms and Condition without notice" etc.

Because Maxis feels "I'm the boss".

Well then

Any other telcos offering 20gb data with speed of 64kbps can qualify as unlimited monthly internet already and being transparent as well

If you advertise as 3mbps as unlimited and eventually dropping speed as it reaches certain threshold it is not an honest action

Plus using USA as example isn't making it any better since USA usually has expensive and misleading Telco plan

Use other first world country such as those in Europe. Even Singapore tak boleh pakai since they follow USA model

most advanced countries have very expensive mobile rates but cheap fiber home internet. I think it has to do with over-regulations and spectrum fees.

Call not unlimited, kan?

soo???

That's the free 1gb everyday which has no speed cap

unlimited =/= unmetered

LOL the FCC in USA sides with the telcos there, and the chairman Ajit Pai is one of the most hated by Americans

Anyway, here is him last year with Malaysian MCMC chairman appointed on 1st October 2018



Did you know some European country and UK has cheap unlimited home broadband and mobile internet? For some country which has cheap home broadband in the first place, it is really hard for them to reduce fees for mobile internet, whereas countries with cheap mobile internet, it is easier to reduce the home broadband fees as coverage expands

Yeah no unlimited calls, the only advantage over HUP is the 3gb hotspot data without subscribing to any add ons

I assume you want MAS one. It is 03-7843 3000.


Hotlink subscribers may still lose the case because at a capped speed of 0.5Mbps, Hotlink Unlimited Prepaid does offer unlimited mobile data. The only problem they can run into with the US lawmakers is probably the missing of FUP number on their T&C or FAQ.


Are you sure USA has expensive telco plan ? Without taking exchange rate into the picture and just comparing the average income of Americans and Malaysians, their postpaid plan is cheaper than ours. It’s about the same as Singapore actually.

Other first world countries... ok. UK may be since it’s also an English speaking country ?

But any add-in for unlimited calls to all Network, eg RM10/month?

Cant find the latest table of comparison, anyway this article tabulates the data for you

Also, their unlimited is not as unlimited as it seems. Oh well, at least the FUP is clearly stated

The price doesn’t reflect all of the US telco latest pricing for their respective postpaid plans. And currently, US telco also like to aim for family plan. Like what you see with Maxis Share Lines or Digi Family Lines etc. So the average cost per line goes down a lot. But even using the pricing plan from the 2018, their average cost is still lower than what the average Malaysians have to fork out vis-à-vis their income for a similar postpaid plan.
