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?

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?

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.

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.

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?

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.  thumbup.gif

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.

Ok. Do access ur need and req before switching then.

Ultimately bagus wm is a legacy plan that have not change term and condition since it was gone.
If it works for u well, u may not need to switch after all.

I did consider my needs before I switch to pantas from bagus wm previously as well.

Yes I’m still assessing between Pantas vs BagusWM.

I haven’t pulled the trigger because it says switching plans will forfeit my current data balance.

Also … BagusWM’s 365 validity has been there since forever. Whereas, I’m afraid the plug for Pantas’ 365 validity might be pulled in near future in typical Maxis fashion like some other Hotlink plans previously.

true. if bagus WM still works for u for ur use case then u can indeed stick to it.

i think the situation for pantas is quite similar to bagus WM which it has become a legacy plan so it is unlikely they will make any changes to the plan. even for new users who activate their hotlink new sim card, it will be on new plan automatically.

I hope so too. I’m inclined to switch to Pantas. Just that I have about 5gb unused data currently which will forfeit after plan switching. Can finish within this week hopefully then Pantas it is.

Seems good but hotlinkmu meaning not always having it rite?

Yeah it changes month to month unfortunately. I’m currently using something on offer that had 60 days validity. That’s why data still not finished/expired yet 😅

I already have hotlink pantas for my main line.

I've been thinking about getting another hotlink sim to put in mifi modem (data usage won't be very high, will just buy from hotlinkMU depending on what great offers they have weekly/monthly).

Question is: How do I manage this 2nd sim? Logging out from sim1 and logging in to sim2 too often sounds so much hassle.
