Well, three telcos are kinda distributed quite evenly in MMU, of course Maxis and DiGi are leader. Yeah, we are TM university but all lecturers are given Celcom lines... Kind of minority of students using Celcom.

The problem is whenever the Hotlink promoters approach them, they straight show a decline sign.
I think that's the reason these promoters are not motivated to promote HYC.

My housemate said will transfer within 7 days right?

Yes, can.

The problem is like the students are not giving them chances to explain at all. Straight showing a hand gesture declining them.
Just now I saw these promoters sitting by the road side holding brochures, look so demotivated.

The place I mentioned, he is also from MMU.

During D' Campus road show in MMU, DiGi brought Wii and PS3 along.

My another housemate wanted to convert her Hotlink prepaid to HYC but sadly Hotlink only came one day and didn't come today.

On the other hand, DiGi is here at MMU Melaka for D' Campus! Yellow shirts can be seen everywhere.

Even for new numbers? That is pretty long. I can accept if plan changes but not new SIM pack.

Any shop that hangs this banner then you will be allowed to buy the SIM packs or convert your plan there.

The chart has obviously shown that only Extra Plan has the 25 cents/minute call.

HYC has nothing to do with it.

HYC crews are in MMU Melaka now, in campus, in front of Main Hall.

They are giving freebies too for the new sign-ups.

I think it mentions in the website, 30th April is the last day for conversion, not sure about new sign ups though.

No, as long as you have a valid student ID card.

That means every 30-second is considered as a block.
For this HYC case, example you call for only 10 seconds a.k.a. less than 30 seconds, then it is RM 0.12/2 = RM 0.06.
If you call for 40 seconds a.k.a. more than 30 seconds then it is RM 0.12.
If you call for 1 minute and 20 seconds, then it is RM 0.12+RM 0.06 = RM 0.18

Anything less than 30 seconds will be divided by 2, theoretically it is easier to count like this.


For normal Hotlink pack, it is based on 60 seconds/block. That means full 1 minute call rate is charged from the first second itself. That means, once the recipient accepts the call, RM 0.33 is gone.

No problem.

U.O.X. thread: http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=784378
You may join into the discussion to understand more.

I believe HYC wins in term of SMS to other operators, other telcos university plans are charging at RM 0.06/SMS. U.O.X. is RM 0.06 not RM 0.05.
Half cent is for only 8pax (must be U.O.X. users) and not all Celcom users.
If it is Celcom then it is RM 0.01/SMS.

HYC has no age limit but you must possess a valid student ID card (college or university).
I don't think your sister is eligible but if you are eligible then you can help your sister on this, one ID card can do two conversions. Not sure if they have changed the policy, but my housemate did one for her and one for her younger sister.

You can convert you plan anywhere as long as the shop has a banner about HYC, then you can do it there.

I don't think age is the main criteria, as long as you possess a university ID card then you should be fine.
My friend registered for her sister, form 5 this year.
One university ID card can register for two users.
Anyway, she didn't buy new SIM packs, she did this by plan conversion.
I'm not sure if plan conversion and new SIM packs have different policy.

Maybe it is the system in Maxis that rejects all new conversion users?
We might not know.

My housemate has 2 HYC numbers with only one ID card.
MMU Malacca.

Moderate users are always encouraged to opt for prepaid. Postpaid is for heavy users.

That means from first second to 30th second second, you will be charged half. If using HYC to call to Maxis users, then it is RM 0.12/2 = RM 0.06.
If you use more than 30 seconds (30th-60second) then it is RM 0.12.

For e.g., if you call for 1 minute 15 seconds then it is RM 0.12+RM 0.06 = RM 0.18
If you call for 27 seconds then it is RM 0.06.
