Thank you very much for your info. 👍🏼

A quick one. I'm currently on Hotlink Fast 3.0 and before I upgrade to this New Hotlink Prepaid Unlimited with claimed unlimited internet passes, I need to confirm few things to avoid making a big mistake since I am aware there is no turning back after changing plans.

I have gone into the Hotlink website and checked a little. What I found is there is this Fair Usage Policy (FUP). Hah, I knew there must be a catch somewhere. To cut a long story short ;

1. For this New Hotlink Prepaid Unlimited, say for the 3Mbps for 30 days at RM35, is it correct that the pass is actually LIMITED to 50GB under FUP for 30 days? So before the end of 30 days, say on the 15th day when the user has used up 50GB, then the speed will not be 3Mbps anymore but throttled or reduced to 512kbps. Correct?

2. The unlimited calls under this New Hotlink Prepaid Unlimited are applicable to ALL numbers and telcos?

Any insight appreciated.

Is a speed of 512kbps sufficient to watch a 480p video on YouTube smoothly without stalling?

Telco typically has term and conditions for the unlimited calls and certain special numbers are not free

You can refer to maxis terms which should also apply for Hotlink

Thanks for the information. Looks a bit complicated but I presume calls to fixed telephone lines such as 03-6274 5521 or 05-xxx xxxx are free of charge. Similarly to Maxis and Hotlink numbers will be free. Calls to Digi, Celcom or other service providers may not be free.

The TLDR version is all normal fixed line numbers that is such as 03, 05, 01* but not special numbers that is 1**

1 quick question, can old hotlink plan number convert to thus new unlimited data plan? Any charges if can?

The answers to both questions is Yes.

Believe that there is a porting charge of rm5

If you download the Hotlink App, you can see the charge for switching plan but note once you have switched, you cannot switch back to your old plan

The unlimited free calls cover all fixed lines in Malaysia regardless of service carrier provider (03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 082, 083, 084, 085, 086, 087, 088, 089, 09) and all mobile numbers (010, 011, 012, 013, 014, 016, 017, 018, 019). This means all calls to Maxis, Digi, Celcom, U Mobile, Yes 4G and all of their MVNO mobile numbers are free.

I just checked and notice I use up to 100GB a month (including hotspot) coz WFH now. If I upgrade from my current Hotlink Red to this unlimited pass, and finish the 50GB FUP mid month, and then purchase the add-on internet, will I still be restricted by the 50GB monthly FUP? Can’t find info on this on their FAQ site...

Wow! What a load of

No wonder notice that speed has been much slower at night

Thanks. I have switched to this New Unlimited Prepaid several days ago and tested.

All telephone calls are free except numbers with 1-300-xx-xxxx
I just called Bank Negara today with the above number and after the call ended, I noticed I was charged RM6.60 for the call which lasted more than 5 minutes.

Not sure about this FUP during MCO where speeds are throttled to 512kbps from 8pm to 12am but this morning 8am until now, I don't know why the speed is so slow?? The websites I was accessing all cannot load or requires very long time to load. Sometimes hang also. I called up Hotlink and they have made a report for me.

Terrible. I thought with this new plan it will be smooth sailing with good speeds and no interruption with web surfing but I'm now experiencing slow speed and the websites sometimes cannot load.

Does anyone know how to check the balance of 50GB before the FUP kicks in and the speed is reduced to 512kbps? This information is not available on the Hotlink Red app??

I ported from hotlink prepaid to digi prepaid . Will i get any sms or call to confirm the port?

Just received this sms from Hotlink that I have reached FUP limit. Is there any way to check the data usage so that users don't get a sms out of the blue stating that all the data had been used up?

50GB just lasted about 22 days only for my first trial.

actually if can get full speed of 3Mbps, stream youtube video at 1080p should also be ok with a little bit of buffering at first.

possible to port out from yoodo postpaid?
can do online?

yoodo maintenance is a headache.
