Which is why I said, the equivalent plan is now RM109.

Regardless, I just checked my phone, my Maxis postpaid 98 plan is still locked to 4G.

The 109, 139, 169 all inclusive of the earlier RM11 5G price...I also wondered if they are going to revert...but doubt that.

I check my Hotlink Postpaid app, no free 5G subscription yet

How about Maxis Postpaid 98?

Ahh Ok.. 
Yes, that one need to pay extra RM10 for 5G. I thought after Fahmi announced, they will put free when activating 5G. 

6 months waive RM10, after RM70 per month.

You are using Hotlink Postpaid as well?

hotlink pospaid 30
got free 5G, never paid that RM10 fee.
5G connection rarely there. most of the time is 4G/4G+.
when connected to 5G, can get 800mbps++.

maxis pandai launch new rate plans and quickly bundle 5g pass in their 109/139/169/199 postpaid plans when 5g just launched last time.

i was forced to get their new postpaid plans as i want a new phone but not 5g.

rindu 98/128/158/188 times. kena gamed.

Last time I got "baited" by Maxis team into upgrading from the old RM98 to RM109 plan (since it's only RM1 more expensive compared to RM98+RM10). Now I don't think I can revert to old plan.

And the 5G isn't stable, what a waste of money.

Sounds good, that's a lot of difference. The only drawback is pay separately instead of 1 bill.

Yes, that monthly difference can actually be used to pay for other subscriptions.

If both Maxis and Hotlink does indeed have the same coverage, it's a much better plan.

So Digi if wan access 5G for low tier such as Digi Postpaid 40 (2021) still need to pay RM10 in order to get 10GB + 5G access?

Am so confuse after reading the statement =.=
"However, if you’re on Xpax or Digi Postpaid 40 or 60 Plan, 5G Boosters are still required to enjoy 5G. "

The subscription name of Digi change from 5G Booster to "10GB (4G 5G) RM10"

Meaning 5G still not free after Fahmi Announcement?

Maxis better many terms as Digi and Maxis user only problem is Maxis still lacking indoor 4G coverage

I am paying RM 40 for 1 Gb and some call and SMS minutes so Hotlink Postpaid 30 sounds like better value.

Is the network coverage the same and can I roam when I am overseas?

Also, if I make the switch, can I keep my number?

I went to the Maxis Centre. International roaming is not available for Hotlink post paid packages below 60 ie. 30 and 45. The service attendant advised me that it means I am unable to purchase a separate roaming pass to add on. Nor can I latch on to a local service provider in the country I visit and pay as I go. I was quite surprised at this. This seems contrary to what I have read here and the Hotlink website does not indicate this. There is a possibility that the service attendant may be misinformed - that isn't surprising given the poor quality of Maxis service staff I have encountered.

Can anyone confirm that is indeed the case or not?

If it is, then that doesn't work for me.

My package as it is allows me to roam internationally so I guess even with the 1 Gb domestic data limitation, it probably is the best available package for my needs.

Thanks so much for that.

It sucks that the Maxis service staff themselves do not know what they are selling.

This is the chart he showed me to justify what he said. I asked again to confirm and he said emphatically that he had processed many of these plans and knew for sure and that if I didn't believe him, I could try when I go overseas and be stranded without being able to roam.



Unfortunately, it looks like I cannot switch as Maxis now tells me the plan is only for new registration, port in or conversion from Hotlink Prepaid plan.

Has anyone gone from Maxis to a lower priced Hotlink Postpaid plan and kept their number before?
