I have 2 questions about this prepaid plan:
1. If I subscribe to Hotlink 365, do I need to top up once every 3 months?
Or do I need to topup just once per year and then the number will not expire for one year?
The reason I asked is because when I read the FAQs page, it says this:
hotlink.com.my/en/faq/products/prepaid-internet-365/general
The Hotlink Internet 365
Online Bundle pack is RM25. This pack is preloaded with RM2 credit and a 10GB Internet pass which is valid for 365 days. Upon activation, the plan gives you 60 active days and 30 inactive days.
2. Can I register this at 7 Eleven? Or do I need to use the Hotlink app only?
Thanks.
That price is only when we buy the starter pack via hotlink website. Cannot get this RM25 at 7-e/stores/kiosks/Service Centres.
After we bought online, the SIM pack will be couriered to our doorstep within 5 working days. Me got it on the 3rd day. To activate the SIM, we must use the
"Hotlink Dafter" Android/iOS app.
The registration/activation success rate is below 25%. Most probably we will still need to walk-in at nearby Service Centre to activate the starter pack. Therefore, better just walk-in in the first place but we cannot get the RM25 Online Promo pack from any stores/service centres.
Let's say we are able to activate the RM25 Online Starter pack using the "Hotlink Daftar" app, inside this SIM card edy has RM2 credit and 10GB hi-speed data quota. This 10GB data validity is 365 days. HOWEVER, don't confuse with SIM validity.
SIM validity is the line active status. If the line is NOT active, we still cannot use the 10GB/365 days quota. Coming back to the Online Starter Pack, it comes with 60 days SIM validity. On the 61st day, the 10GB quota cannot be used anymore. This is also known as "Inactive" / "Grace Period". The Grace Period is 30 days. So, if we still refuse to reload/topup, on the 91st day, the line will be terminated AUTOMATICALLY (with a few warning/reminder SMSs before termination date).
To make the line active back again, just reload any amount. The SIM validity will be extended to 60 days (from the last reload date). SIM validity cannot be accumulated.
