started today my phone validity is already 2013

No wonder whole morning I can't receive call or sms.
I just checked.. validity period really to 2013.
Anyone also can apply for this? This is awesome.
Prepaid user no need trouble to top up upon validity time expire.

bro aspire, so u now already enjoying that rates?

From the chart is shows you still need to top up a minimum of RM 10/year to enjoy the validity.

let me get it clear..
so the only downside about this plan is the 60 seconds block, right?

not all hotlink . Only those that was or activated Hotlink Zone previously. New user need to apply with their student ID card

i dont think so, UOX is already cheap.. if they want to lower their rate, they have to go below 5sen/sms for off-net sms which is impossible. 6sen/sms is almost 0sen profit, and maxis offer 5sen mean they help user to pay (subsidised) 0.xx sen to the receipient operator for every off-net (inter-operator) sms, and they can do so because the gain huge profit from high volume of the on-net sms..

compare to celcom/digi which has lower volume of on-net sms because their customer is not much as maxis.

and also if Celcom just reduce the price by 1 sen, is not practical and wont giving much benefit for them as well as to the user too.. they also need to re-print all the browser, the starterpack, re-advertising, etc..

but for other charge such as on-net call it still can be revise.. maybe celcom can offer 10sen call to all celcom number, and 5sen call with 8pax.

sorry just double confirm they change it back to 30 sec block already.

that means this plan almost flawless!!!!
bro, plz change it in the 1st post also...
and are u now being charged with that new rates ?

hopefully this isn't an April's fool prank

lets hope not. This is the first time hotlink give us a near flawless plan. Could be a prank hotlink or maxis is never that nice usually got hidden intention.

Maybe they lost too much prepaid subscriber so they need find a way to get back their users

the only downside as follows

- only open to student from selected university (celcom uox/sox open to all below 26, no matter if you're only finished studying primary school only hehe)

- only can enjoy this rates for 4 years (celcom uox/sox can enjoy as long as you're still below 26 years old

- no free call/sms (digi dcampus offer free after hit certain usage everyday)

- no special data plan (digi dcampus offer unlimited data at rm30 per month, while celcom uox/sox offer weekly unlimited rm20 and daily unlimited rm6)

- bad network service quality (too subjective to be discussed, but i heard a lot of complains recently)

- careline is not free (celcom and digi offer free careline)

- no special plan if upgrade to postpaid after this (digi dcampus offer special graduate postpaid plan)


but, whatever the downside is, the cheap call and sms rates still will be the main attractive point for Hotlink Youth Club hehe..

Added on April 1, 2009, 3:59 pmrm10/year is okay.. but if you reload less than rm10 per year .. erm maybe you should not use handphone at all..

The only flaw I believe is the minimum RM 10/year to continue enjoying the free 4 years validity. Still, RM 10 is cheap.
I think they use the sucked money from normal Hotlink prepaid package to cover these expenses.

it didnt stated u can only enjoy for 4 years. It only give u 4 years credit validity.

all in all, now they give the best rates in town! slightly better than uox, and much, much better than dcampus.


owh, one more downside of this plan (at least for me..)

that is why im looking for their term and conditions, but did not manage to find it everywhere ..

or maybe they have access to the university database to know which student are still studying or not..

I'm sure it doesn't matter if you are a university student or not, if you have previously registered for Hotlink Campus Zone then it will be automatically converted to this plan. As easy as that.

Is this why I couldn't make any calls or send messages with my Hotlink account last night. It almost cost me an important appointment, damn them.

lucky i have all 3 telco in hand. So doesnt matter who give best offer i still get it keke

and how to check whether we are campus zone user or not?
can we use *100# ?
