Hi guys, am new to this thread. I have asked a few friends but they don't know so I think I'll just ask the gurus here.

I have a 2006 Hotlink SIM card with a very nice number 012-2626XXX. Been using the number since 2000. For some reason I switched numbers and never reload the hotlink simcard.

Can I reactivate the hotlink sim since it is still with me and the number have not been recycled yet, I tried calling the number but not in used. BTW I did register the number to my mykad when the government made it mandatory.

Sorry its gone. When its gone its gone. It doesnt matter u register or not after expire the number is ready to recycle

Wow... I didn't know that. I am still on the SMS plan

Correct. I am going to port to DiGi pretty soon

I just called Maxis about 2 hours ago to report on the late delivery message which I have been going through every month and today it seems to be worse... I wonder if they would do anything about it.

can anyone tell me the 60sen perblock call thingy?

and what is the most valuable plan for user like me : moderate on sms+call. how do i check on which plan i am?
i topup like rm100 and after a week only left like rm50. wtf hotlink.

It's actually 60 second call block. It means that if you make calls which cost you 49 cents, they will still charge you 49 cents even if you called for only a few seconds. Something like that le

when you talk make sure you talk until almost 60 secs lo haa

That is so true. That's why nowadays when I call I make sure I talk at least a minute

and make sure u end the call before it reach 1 minute and 1 sec (01:01:00) haha, otherwise u'll be charge for two minutes already

boycott hotlink laa. is there any other telco com uses 60sec block?

Sometimes cannot help but to exceed the 1 minute a little you know why le

Nope. Only hotlink

why?cant u see the call duration?

no super saver for today?

what so special about today?

Hotlink reload Rm30 get 3X reward point promotion end today,not sure they will still keep that stupid 60sec block thing or not tomorrow. Hopefully by tomorrow they revert back to 30sec

But i think money sucker will keep the 60 sec block one la

And the worst part is when you need to contact a person urgently but he switched off his phone with voice mail activated. In this scenario, the call goes straight to voice mail and if you failed 3 times, thats RM1.50 damage to your financial resources.

Usually this type of situation,i will send 1 sms with delivery report. When the delivery report rang delivered i will straight away call that guy.

You wouldn't believe that a lot of people who are on Maxis Hotlink do not know this. I successfully converted my mum to DiGi from Hotlink so she can save more. The fact that DiGi throws in free one year validity suits her good too as she doesn't make much calls.

March hotlink plan rate: Rm0.35/min (60sec block) offnet number,
Rm0.33/min(60sec block) onnet number.

he he,looks like another round of prepaid war with digi gonna start.

this thinng i thought ended on 31st march? i receive a sms back then

With 60 second block, I don't think that's enticing enough.
