It's on the Hotlink Website now

https://www.hotlink.com.my/en/plan/hotlink-...QkaAj-0EALw_wcB

Rm35 for unlimited data and calls but capped at 3 mbps.

Edited, RM35 is promotional price and normal price is RM38

Rm45 for 6 mbps speed and with unlimited calls and data

Edited, RM45 is promotional price and normal price is RM48.

However not stated when prices will increase

Also covered by soyacincau

https://www.soyacincau.com/2020/06/03/hotli...s-prepaid-plan/

What do you guys think, worth to jump over. Seems very good deal for Rm35 but is 3 mbps good enough for conference calls like zoom / teams and occasional YouTube

I'm still on the good old Hotlink Fast 3.0 plan. Thinking of upgrading to this unlimited plan. Any catch to take note of other than the speed and hotspot restriction?
*
The price of Rm35 and Rm45 is promotion price.

Nornal price is extra rm3

I am also on the fast 3.0 and thinking of changing due to the unlimited calls and data.

I only use for normal surfing and occasional con calls.

Currently on hotline red. Unlimited def very tempting, just curious how the speed cap of 3mbps gonna affect

Telco can track based on users id.. Once it is identified that you fall under this account, your DL/UL will be restricted to 3 or 6 mbps

Maxis wants to differentiate their brand name.

Maxis as Premium and Hotlink as Mass Market

It should be without any charge and can be done through the Hotlink App

my plan only due on 27 jun, so if I switch now, all my previous money gone right?

IMHO best to only change plan after your current plan expires. Less complications

Go to your Hotlink App

Go to Settings

Go to Rate plan

Click Upgrade

Any way the latest news it's not unlimited but limited to 50 GB

Even the add on has caps

how to rollback from unlimited plan to red plan?
*
Normally once you upgrade.. Then you can't turn back cos the red plan is considered old plan and no longer offered.

But you can try and call the Customer Service to ask

yesterday i just realised that the old plan suits me better. yesterday i botted rm 35, then realised one needs to pay :
monthly top up----rm 30
unlimited data+calls-rm 35
total rm 65

my old plan
monthly top up ---rm 30
weekly 300mb data hi speed-rm 20(7day pass at rm 5 per week)
sat+sun--free data 1gb
total rm 50

prefer my old plan
*
Your calculations are wrong as you have doubles counted

Your rm30 top up is part of the Rm35 for the HUP35 plan

You need to top up RM 30 for the 30 day validity and plus another RM5

Then you can subscribe to the Rm35 HUP

When you too up rm30 +RM5, your credit will be Rm35 with 30 days validity period.

When you buy the HUP Plan of RM35, it will be deducted from your earlier credit which is rn35, so your credit will be RM0

BUT you will have the HUP Plan that also has 30 days validity and provided you also bought the HUP on the same day as your top up earlier, they have the same validity period.

But with RM0 credit, you will not be able to buy any additional add on that is available such as daily or weekly high speed Internet passes

Hope that is clearer to you

Bought a hotlink sim card at 7-11 today and did self-registration online then can use almost immidiately.

Now plugged into my gaming mobile and see how smooth the experience.
So far no problem for youtube, fb, IG or website browsing.
Update apps also not problem.
Evening or after working hours also no problem at the moment.
wanted to try few more days and see how is the performance. Will consider to port my main number to hotlink for better coverage.

Is your speed 3 or 6 mbps

Hotlink gonna launch new postpaid plan

Might be better for those who don't need 50 gb of data but wants faster speed and hassle of monthly reload

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

https://www.maxis.com.my/en/terms-condition...maxis-postpaid/

Unlimited Minutes and SMS'

11 You acknowledge and accept, for the voice & SMS' allocated with the Plan(s) that the unlimited minutes and SMS' applies to:

a) domestic mobile ON-net usage (Maxis to Maxis calls and SMS’) for Maxis Postpaid lite & start (excluding OFF-net usage (calls and SMS’ from Maxis to other Service Provider), calls to fixed lines, video calls, calls to numbers with special charges e.g. 1-300/1-700/600 & 121, TM100, 1MOCC and 080-prefix numbers for border calls to Brunei).

b). domestic mobile/fixed ON-net & OFF-net usage for Maxis Postpaid 98, 108, 128, 158 & 188 (excluding, video calls, calls to numbers with special charges e.g. 1-300/1-700/600, 121, TM100, 1MOCC & 080-prefix numbers for border calls to Brunei).

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

Does the rm100 topup have rm5 free credit still like last last time. Its so long ago I didn't topup as much as rm100
*
This depends on the offer which could be differently for different users

However from my experience the offer only valid a few days before your actual expiry of the credit

If you top up on the actual date of expiry of after notice I don't have any free credit offer

To me right now, Hotlink is the best prepaid

I use rm35 for 3 mbps and can get speed test up to 4.5 mbps. Good enough to use for normal you tube and zoom call

Up to 50 gb you get the 3 mbps or 6 mbps

After that you will be throttled down
