Ok, for nearly an hour after I topup the SIM card, it finally got connected! It appear that the either 500GB internet package or the less than RM10 credit was to blame. I don't think it was the low credit cause I had lower credit before and still able to connect to SG telco and receive SMS, also if the low credit is preventing me from 4G/5G connection, why connecting to MY cell towers at north part of SG worked? Somehow Hotlink is banning me from connecting to SG cell tower when the 500GB 30 days period is active. I would probably never buy any hotlink internet package since SG MVNO offer hundreds of GB data to use for both SG and MY--they are both treated as local data usage now. If I can get the bank app to use the phone as digital token, I would ditch this hotlink right away.

[Ignored}After going back to Singapore, the Hotlink SIM could no longer connect to SG telco. I tested it on 2 seperate phones and SIM slots, when at Woodlands or Kranji where MY signal can transmit to SG, I can connect to Hotlink cell tower. This never happen before, I had this for nearly 10 years. could it be Hotlink purposely ban me after I bought the 500GB data package for 30 days? I even waited for the 30 days to expire and the active validity runs out, then topup to see anything change. NO! still unable to connect to any Singapore telco.

Can Hotlink CSO tell me what's going on? This is unacceptable, I need the phone number for CC transaction SMS, otherwise I would have ditch this SIM to the bin. [/ignore]
