Now that the limit of the unlimited plan is known, we can make the comparison among telcos with similar price, speed and quota


Plan\Telco Hotlink Celcom UMobile Yes
Daily *RM3 for 5GB NA NA NA
Weekly *RM12 for 15 GB RM12 for 18GB + 1GB hotspot *RM12 FUP unknown + 1GB hotspot NA
Monthly *RM35 for 50GB RM38 for 48GB +3GB hotspot RM30 FUP unknown + 3GB hotspot RM30 FUP unknown

*comes with unlimited calls

Hotlink still dare to say "Truly Unlimited".

Abuse of the words "truly" and "unlimited" and insulting the intelligence of their potential customers.
*
Not the first time

They used to advertise hotlink postpaid flex as "unlimited calls and internet"

agree

64kbps is just enough for whatsapp messages and general notifications only.

128kbps may be enough to load websites and read news.

512kbps definitely enough to read news, emails, send whatsapp attachment, send pics , whatsapp call/ facetime audio.
*
Here's hoping hotlink (or other Telco) introduces 512kbps no FUP for rm10/month

In dream perhaps lol

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

Exactly. If its in the US, they could be sued for misleading the consumer.
But in Malaysia, lol, if someone reports to KDNHEP.. NATO.  cool2.gif
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".

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

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.

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

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. Itโ€™s about the same as Singapore actually.

Other first world countries... ok. UK may be since itโ€™s also an English speaking country ?

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

https://www.cnet.com/how-to/verizon-att-t-m...lan-comparison/

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

"Transparent". Not even a mention of this on their app lol. Maxis only added the it on their website after they got found out

Exactly. People calling hotlink as transparent is a joke.

If they are being transparent they should have followed celcom's advertising of rm38 plan

Celcom: RM38 for 48GB of data usage on mobile phone plus 3GB hotspot at speed of 3mbps, speed reduced to 64kbps after quota depleted

They only advertised their FUP days after their plan is launched, by then thousands of people already signed up and paid for change of plan thinking this plan is truly unlimited, only to find out the daily plan has FUP of 5GB thus catching hotlink with his pants down

We wait for port out from hotlink since no transparency  after 1 month

Transparency is not analogous, either be honest from the start or hide until after you get caught

Even Unifi fiber reveals their FUP but they explain they have not enforce it yet

And Unifi mobile not promising any speed, therefore any speed is considered unlimited

Unless you regularly visits and purchase these things you actually spend more than usual, and that is not savings

the main question is How much you need to spend in order to get that rm82.40 cashback...
Any Voucher which need to topup with your own extra money is not "Need" lah.

so...how much Extra in order to get that RM82.40?

Whoa there, chillax man

QUOTE(azhar75 @ Jun 27 2020, 03:09 PM)
Hypothetically, spent RM100, get RM40 cashback ...

So the remainder is freebies like the setel

Although if you get referral code from someone both of you get rm5 (not sure if still effective, I didn't use the app, info from reading the setel thread)

Hi guys, got a few questions here,

1-If a celcom postpaid user wants to change to HUP plan, he/she needs to port out to hotlink/maxis postpaid first or can port to HUP straight away?

2. A hotlink prepaid user( I think red plan) wants to change to HUP. Do she/he needs to do it at maxis centre or buy new card. If he/she wants to keep the current number?

3. A unifi bebas user, want to change to HUP and use the same number? Is the process would be as same as above.

Thanks guys
*
1 & 3. Straight away change to hotlink prepaid unlimited. Ensure the dealer chooses the right plan. Some people here is trapped for 6 month because the dealer changes the plan to hotlink postpaid but the user asks for hotlink prepaid unlimited

2. You can change the plan by ussd. It costs rm5 and is irreversible

Hi sifus need some advise newbie here. Been using hotlink fast since 2014 and then HUP came out and it seems worth the money. But i see some telco like yoodo also offers good deal as well. Which one should i swich to?

I assumed your monthly commitment is rm30
(unless you subscribe to extended validity which some forumer is lucky to subscribe to 10 years before hotlink retract the feature few days after plan is launched, 2gb every weekend for 10 years at cost of rm330)

What is your usage pattern? If you use hotlink I assume you don't use lots of data since data is expensive before unlimited plan is released

Skip step 2. Tap the TnG option in the list after step 1.

RM5 rebate will be credited within 10 minutes after successful transactions.

The tng ewallet number must be the same as hotlink number or you can use anybody's tng ewallet?
