over there, up to 100gb can be had for not more than rm34

Yes. For zym secret plan. But good for those who use lion city prepaid card, so technically they just need to keep lion city line active and use hotlink pantas rm45 plan monthly on both sides.

Hi, I am also planning to port from yoodo to hotlink 365 and just learned the plan no more when i visit the maxis centre.
May i know where you buy the pantas sim card? Is it MNP type? Thanks

just port into the latest hotlink plan and u have the option to switch to the old pantas 365 validity plan by paying rm2.

Ok, i saw you buy from shopee dealer. So presumably must buy those with pantas 365 sim pack? Thanks 🙏

no. now there is no difference anymore becos it only left with one plan which the latest hotlink prepaid plan.

so no wonder u buy from shopee, or shop or maxis centre, when u activate it, it will be the new hotlink prepaid plan.
so no matter where u buy it from, as long as u can MNP, it is fine.

once u are at the new hotlink plan, just switch to pantas 365. i had shared the screenshots on these.

Ok, thank you very much for guidance

I’m on Bagus WM. I still have the button to switch to Pantas.

But I noticed the HotlinkMU data packages for Pantas are quite more expensive than what I’m paying with Bagus WM.

eg: Bagus WM has 12.5GB/RM18/30D which has lower cash outlay than Pantas’ 37GB/RM37/30D.

Price per GB is cheaper with Pantas but feel like I don’t need 37GB/mo with wifi at home.

Also Bagus WM (this is a super old plan) has Validity365 for RM33. Thoughts?

fyi. i was from Bagus WM previously. i switched to pantas becos the overall package given by pantas is better i would say.
but if u really do not need data at all, and u just need to keep the line active, bagus WM is good enough.

pantas 365 validity is only rm30. and every top up can keep the line active for 30 days. and after 30 days active period it has 30 days grace period before it is terminated. so far so good.

u said u can see pantas as a option to switch to, what about other plans? do u see the new hotlink prepaid plan option to switch? mind to share the screenshot?

in addition, Bagus calls more expensive and no cheap/long life internet like pantas. u may enjoy the same 365 validy by paying extra rm3 comparing to pantas. but u have no option to buy data and use forever like pantas with no wastage for as long as 1GB for rm2/2GB for rm4/5GB for rm10 if u are super light user.

12.5GB/mo - if heavy user, i dun think it is sufficient for anyone, likely u need to pay beyond rm18 for one month of usage which will be similar to what u can buy for pantas plan monthly.
now they have promo that u can claim extra data pass of 20gb (free) if u buy 30GB monthly pass at rm35 with unlimited calls (which i believe bagus WM does not have for data pass).

u said u can see pantas as a option to switch to, what about other plans? do u see the new hotlink prepaid plan option to switch? mind to share the screenshot?

besides, i think bagus WM has pay per use charge if not wrong, meaning if u buy 12.5GB pass and u used up the data, ur account credit will be used for pay per use data charge which is super expensive which i hate this alot. if u go overseas like lion city, u may be charged for unknown data usage if u are on 4G network (overseas - roaming), it is kind of 'handshake' between ur phone and the telco which this incur random charges (maybe just small amount each time), but it will eventually cause all ur available balance to be zero. only way to avoid this is to set ur phone to connect to 3G only while in overseas like lion city and this is super super troublesome, which u need to do it manually before u arrive overeas.

pantas plan is good becos without data pass, u cannot use data at all, which totally no worry of extra charge, even for roaming data charge as well while in overseas. becos without any relevant pass, u just could not use data.

In my screenshot there’s also All-New Hotlink Prepaid Plan can be chosen. Maybe you missed it? Have a look again. Other two are streaming plan and WFH plan which I’m not familar what they are.

I’m not a heavy user so paying RM18/mo for “some data” is better than paying RM37/mo. Even if cost per GB is better with the latter.

Do you have a screenshot of your HotlinkMU and Passes for Pantas plan? Just want to do further comparison.

Oh ya. Missed it out. Now I saw it. Seems like no matter what current plan u are at, they only allow u to switch to one of the 3 other plans. If u compare to mine. U have one plan missing out Becos u have pantas and latest hotlink plan in.

Last time they used to have rm30 for 20gb data for 365 days which is super good for super light user which they combine with 365 validity only pay rm60 per year.

They have hotlinkMU plan of 20GB for rm20 not bad deal which is similar to what yoodo is offering.

What kind of passes u have on bagus wm now?

RM30/20GB/365 sounds fantastic. But already discontinued yeah?

RM20/20GB is indeed similar to Yoodo's offering. I don't mind paying this every month.

How does no wastage data plan work? Can't see it in the screenshot.

Here are Bagus WM offerings currently. Not super great but I usually just buy the first one under HotlinkMU unless it's too expensive or I foresee not using X amount of data that month.

yes, they removed it which is something that is good for super light user, e.g. ppl who work and stay in lion city but probably come back to jb for once a week that kind.



no wastage refers to longer internet validity plans (in my screenshot). rm2 per GB across all plan. i think it means as long as ur line is active, the data will forever be there until u finish it. so technically i should rephrase about the rm30 for 20GB u can use the data forever instead of 365 days. the saying of 365 days is to combine with the 365 validity that most will buy, but technically they never expire as long as ur line is not lapse for active period.

yeah rm20 for 20GB is exactly same as yoodo. but it is hotlinkMU pass and not a long term pass so it may appear every time.

correct, bagus WM passes are not so attractive in general, i was on this plan for quite long time, sometimes hotlinkMU may have good and attractive passes but not always. most rm30+ and rm40+ passes come with little data plus no free calls. this makes the pantas plan attractive.

Orait then. So as of now, Pantas long validity is only under the zero wastage plan yeah? I'll think about it then before jumping in.

HotlinkMU's offerings indeed are quite hit and miss. So cannot always assume can get XYZ plan every month.

yes, up to rm10 for 5GB (rm2 per GB).

basically this table minus off the 8GB and 20GB options that were removed few months back.

Last question since you are very helpful. How to purchase 365 validity? Via *100# like BagusWM also ah?

no. it is under one of the pass inside the app (in my previous screenshot), just use the app to click the pass to purchase. very seamless.

bagus WM if not wrong cannot do it under app directly but must via the *100#. and they hide the menu option to buy the 365 validity super deep inside that one can never remember the steps before they reach the exact menu to purchase it.

Orait thanks. Quite convinced with Pantas now hehe.

Yeah, every 6-12 months I purchase validity RM18 or RM33 via *100# under BagusWM.
