Wow, I've tried to understand but I have no idea how this plan works. I'm too old for this shit.

im using xpax actually, rm35 unlimited.

Hi all, I've been looking at prepaid's 365 validity plans and I think hotlink prepaid pantas is by far the best. From my understanding, I can buy 365 validity at RM30 and then if I need data, I could buy one of these that also have 365 day validity? Let say I buy 8gb at RM15 and then used it all up, I can then buy more no matter how many times? Can anyone confirm this?

Really good deal this!

Thanks @adbacc @svchia78. Noted about the old table.
The remaining Internet pass is still a very good deal for me. Exactly what I need!

Thanks again for confirming.

Hi all. The Hotlink pantas 365, can I straight away subscribe to the 1 year validity plan, or do I have to subscribe to other monthly plan first and after that from there change to the 365 pantas plan?

Hi. Sorry, what does 'switch to' mean?

Is it possible to just buy any hotlink simcard and then immediately after activation and registration, straight away buy the 365 validity without subscribing to any data plan first?

I asked Gemini for an idiot guide to Pantas 365 (yes, that idiot is me). Is the guide accurate?


Here is your Idiot Guide to getting a new SIM and subscribing to the Hotlink Pantas 365 Validity pass.

🛍️ Step 1: Buy the SIM Card (Hotlink Pantas)
You need the specific plan to access this validity pass.
* Go Shopping: Head to any major convenience store (7-Eleven, myNEWS, 99 Speedmart), a Maxis/Hotlink Store, or buy it online from the Hotlink Online Store.
* Ask for the SIM: Specifically ask for the Hotlink Prepaid Pantas starter pack.
* Note: The pack usually costs about RM10 and comes with some preloaded credit (e.g., RM5).
* Total Money Needed: Make sure you have enough cash for:
* SIM Pack: \approx RM10
* Top-Up Credit (for the pass): RM30 (for the 365-day pass)
* Minimum Grand Total: \approx RM40

📱 Step 2: Register & Activate Your SIM
You must register the SIM card to your identity before you can use it.
* Download the Hotlink App: Get the Hotlink App from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store.
* Self-Registration:
* Open the app and look for an option like "SIM Activation" or "I am New to Hotlink."
* Scan the Barcode on the back of your new SIM pack.
* Scan your ID: The app will ask you to scan your MyKad (for Malaysians) or Passport (for non-Malaysians).
* Face Verification: Follow the prompts for a quick Face ID check.
* Complete: Once approved, your line is registered!
* Insert the SIM: Pop the new Hotlink SIM card into your phone. It should connect to the network.

💰 Step 3: Top-Up Your Account
You need the RM30 credit to buy the 365-day pass.
* Check Your Credit: Your SIM came with some credit (e.g., RM5). Check your current balance on the Hotlink App.
* Top-Up: You need a total of at least RM30 credit in your account. Top up the difference.
* Example: If you have RM5 credit, top up another RM25.
* How to Top-Up: You can top up using:
* The Hotlink App (via credit card, online banking, or eWallet).
* Hotlink Reload Vouchers (purchased at convenience stores).
* E-load at any store that offers mobile top-ups.

🗓️ Step 4: Purchase the 365-Day Active Period Pass
This is the final step to extend your SIM's life for a full year.
* Open the Hotlink App: Make sure you are using mobile data on the new Hotlink SIM or connected to Wi-Fi.
* Go to Passes: Look for the section titled "Passes," "Buy," or "Add-Ons."
* Find the Validity Pass: You may need to look under a tab like "Others" or "Value-Added Services (VAS)." Look for the pass with this description:
* 365 Days Active Period Pass
* Price: RM30
* Confirm Purchase: Select the pass and confirm the purchase. The RM30 will be deducted from your credit balance.
* Confirmation: You should receive an SMS confirming that your line's active period has been successfully extended for 365 days!

Your account is now active for one full year, and you only need to top up when you want to buy an internet or call pass!

Ah ok, I understand now. Thank you.
