as far as i'm going through this thread & from my own experienced, these are the conclussion:
1) if u encounter lazy maxis customer service, whether over the phone or at maxis centre, you 'll be told, "you need to buy a new simcard"...haha this method goes without saying laa....anybody can buy it what...
2)the exact rules for me are clearly stated in their website....
i)existing hotlink customer: need to buy new simpack
ii)new customer: need to buy new simpack
iii)customer from other telco: can port in to HYC
3)loophole of MNP can be used. Can port out & port in to HYC back since not mention in their T&C u cant do so....
4)some backdoor if u can find a forummer that can convert your existing normal hotlink to HYC for free without need to port out & port in back...
so i hope thats all clear our head...
Yeah... Can you be more specific who is the forumer? FYI, i found one only over here.
