Port out normally submit before 12pm will be ported out by 8pm same day.

Source - own experience from countless times of MNPs a year criss-crossing all known telcos.

Thanks a lot... it means I must top up to extend the validity for another few more days. I wonder if the shared top up from shopee, those rm1 offers, will also extend my validity?

Those rm1 offers from shopee you need to read the t&c what it says before buy. Based on my own experience port out need several days, both your old & new telco can syok syok delay calling you or sms you the confirmation of your port out requests. Let's say you port out today, tomorrow your current telco will call you to counter offer you a better deal to keep you as a customer, if you decline this offer, you need to wait for the new telco to sms you. Maybe to others is fast within one day complete, but for me took several days.

ty, changed my plan since my monthly plan just expired, changed to hotlink prepaid 1.0 and able to subscribe the rm20 sabah plan.

btw, for hotlink prepaid 1.0, is it had to reload rm30 to get 30 days validity? so that means every month will have rm10 surplus, i got the rm2 off voucher for next month too.

That's the thing about most prepaid plans - active period is separate from internet plan validity (except Digi Next).

So yeah your RM30 will get you 30 days active period. And after you buy the Sabah Pass for RM18 (after RM2 rebate) you will have RM12 balance. Rinse and repeat a few months (assuming the offer lasts), you will have to find a way to burn the credit - easy if you have another Hotlink number to transfer the credit over.

i have another hotlink number, how to transfer the credit? ty

From the credit donor's Hotlink app, It is under 'Top Up' and you will see the 'Share Top Up' option.

ty so much!!! my second line was for my phone to go to kebun and cycling lol so only used hotlink pantas and very few data

yo do know this is not kopitiam and you cannot post off topic here

Only now I found out that Sabah Pass can hotspot using modem router... Using TP-Link 5G modem router now.

Now that's great value for RM18/ month.... while it lasts...

Plenty sellers are selling to non sabahans, which against the tnc. I believe Hotlink will soon stop the pass

iinm just need to register at sabah sarawak abd no need sabah sarawak ic. quota only usable there. if you go to west malaysia only have small quota of 5 or 10GB iinm

That's U Mobile's way... which is good to prevent abuse... Detecting use outside Sabah Sarawak and Labuan.

Only got 60GB for 4G? and 940GB for 5G connection?

I only bought the RM5 (7 days - 10GB) version to try. No hiccups during modem hotspotting use but could not finish 10GB in that 7 days.

Should be safe to assume that if hotspotting through modem is allowed to continue, it will be 60GB 4G/ ♾️ for 5G for RM20 version. Will try soon when my current RM35/40GB ends.

Using factory unlocked and non-"ahem"ed modem, if that matters.

Modified modem you mean? Which brand? Some sellers got warned by Hotlink for registering to non-sabahans. Soon or later for hotlink to restrict the usage based on region. Maxis once implemented long ago for east coast plan

Anyhow, best plan ever so far

you don't really need those modems. You can hotspot all those data on 4G (60GB) and 5G (940GB or 1000GB) directly provided used in sabah

not sure about hotlink prepaid, but hotlink postpaid for sabah plan does have a clause that maxis can cancel your plan if you changed your residence to non sabah.

Not using such modems.. Not a techie and in case it affects online security of my stuffs.

Stated for benefit of others in case they are wondering if the Sabah pass is limited to smartphone use only, like how the orange telco does it.

The modem needs to be locked to band 5G otherwise 60GB 4G data can be drained fast.

I still keep my unifi fibre for long term use. Hotlink may change the tnc anytime they want

yeah, I didn't want to abuse the data too. Last month I used less than 15GB 4G and maybe 10GB 5G since I have unifi 500mbps at home. I like it because free calls and cheap plan at rm18 per month after rm2 rebate
