Ic. Both also works. Price wise I think it is the same no matter physical or esim. Both cost rm5 for the new sim.

Just that esim is really convenient and save on the physical slot especially for iphone that only has one.

How much to activate 365 days validity under pantas plan?

To activate the 365 days validity, how much does it cost?

Icic. Thanks.

Thanks a lot for the tips.

hotlink prepaid now has esim also rite?

Even iPhone built-in estimates transfer function also does not work?

wah...

iPhone built-in eSIM transfer function does not limit to same device.

But from hotlink eSIM FAQ they seems to allow only hotlink postpaid to do that, hotlink prepaid eSIM if change phone must get the new eSIM at maxis store again.

dun get it. why won't it has no line in lion city? all hotlink prepaid/postpaid comes with free auto roaming.

credit deducted abnormally i had this issue all time previously when i was on hotlink prepaid also. if one is on a hotlink prepaid plan (with no free basic data one), everytime when there is a 'handshake' to mobile data in overseas network, it will cause unknown charges. only workaround is not to connect to 4G/5G network i think.

as contrast, my digi prepaid now has no such issue, even i have no active data pass, or no activate roaming data pass, even the mobile data is turned on and data roaming is turned on also it does incur unknown charge which my credit is not deducted for no reason.
i think one reason is that the celcomdigi kuning plan comes with 500MB free basic data (even after used up this one, no additional pay per use charge becos one needs to purchase additional quota to continue to use data).

i know this issue long ago, as said, i had used hotlink prepaid for quite sometime previously. there were time i called up to get them to recover the unknown charges, but too troublesome already, so i put my phone on 3G only mode last time to overcome this while even want to do also not possible becos 3G was shut down sometime back.

anyway, i am not sure if this is still a prob, if yes, then it is still a problematic issue to users.

Ic. Good to know that by roaming to StarHub does not incur additional charges to the credits.

Are u travelling in and out daily to lion city?

Ic. Thanks. Good to know that the issue is sort of resolved now.

My friend just switch from hotlink postpaid to hotlink prepaid yesterday. And he is going to switch to hotlink pantas plan as he just needs to buy rm30 add-on to keep the line active for 365 days. Although unlikely he will keep so many remaining credits inside but good to know that his remaining credits will likely be safe now.

yes, will remind him also.

anyway i will ask him to disable mobile data and data roaming option in iphone for that line.
this should make it safer to avoid data charge.

He does not need to use the hotlink prepaid for mobile data in both bolehland and lion city anyway.

using hotlink prepaid (default plan now - not pantas).

now at taiwan but hotlink esim shows - no service. why is it so? it has been working which has service when i was in lion city, but only in taiwan no service. why??

balance got impact? my balance is rm5 now.

ic. ok thanks. will try to top up above rm10 and see if it works.
