I was just about to post this topic also ... is it really 1 sen per sms to EVERY hotlink/maxis number and only 5 sen per sms to other operators? Coz then my Activ10 will be meaningless right?

It really is real! Cool man! Check ur expiry date also, got extended to 2013 right?

Cool, Hotlink finally comes out with something to counter back.
More competitions.

Did you mean 60 seconds block?

By the way, how to determine the campus location?

Sadly, it's 30 secs per block. But still, it's better than the previous rates

I thought it is standardised to be 30 seconds per block. DiGi is using 30 seconds per block too.
The 60 seconds per block is sucking blood like hell.

great news from hotlink!!!
but why it is a sad news about the 30 seconds block? i thought it should be good right?
and who is eligible to this? how to activate?

I dunno, I'm used to the 30 secs per block, only said it's sad coz fruitie mentioned 60 seconds block lol

Hmm maybe students using prepaid?

Yeah, I was wondering too. Should be good news to have 30 seconds/block right?
It is standardised... Unless, you guys want something like U-Mobile, 1 second/block.

I'm not sure if you are aware, Hotlink is still using 60 seconds/block.

it doesnt matter anymore. Last time hotlink zone must be within campus now on or off also special rate

Added on April 1, 2009, 2:23 pmYea sorry 60 sec block

what does the "on campus' and "off campus' means?

means within your college/UNI area u get special rate. When not in college/UNI area normal rate.

NOW anywhere in malaysia also special rate

But the comparison chart only show 1 price woh

Hotlink used to have Hotlink zones whereby students in selected universities can get cheap call rate.
With this new Hotlink Youth Club, it doesn't matter now because both in campus and off campus = everywhere is having one flat rate.

its not one flat rate its at a discounted rate.

sms to digi or other telco used to be 15cents. Now with this youth hotlink club its only 6 cents

This post has been edited by aspire2oo6: Apr 1 2009, 02:29 PM

now this plan easily dwarfing other telcos..hehe.
i read, students need to register to their dealers...in each campus...

if you are already activated the hotlink zone. U will automatic convert to hotlink youth club

really? how did u know...
i went to their site, they just expain briefly, not going into details about this plan..
even no tnc or faq yet...

i know because my validity expires at 2013 when it should be 2009

This post has been edited by aspire2oo6: Apr 1 2009, 02:34 PM

Yeah, saw that.
5 cents actually.

Yeah, the only advantages D' Campus are having is the free unlimited call within campus zone and unlimited data line for RM 30/month.
U.O.X. is not having the cheapest rate already.
Hopefully with Hotlink's latest plan can generate more competitions to other telcos to benefit all the users.

I believe Maxis is aware that most of its teenage users are using Hotlink prepaid and quite a number of them have migrated to other telcos. Finally, they saw that. Good.

So which is true?

if i am graduating tis coming may den can i still enjoy the best rate till 2013?

yes my friend the age of 35 years old also got this haha.

In campus and off campus = everywhere

I believe the answer is yes.

same meaning la = everywhere

wow
den i can take my frens student card register for my family members too?

seems like cheaper that UOX,suitable for all college user?

is the rate lower than UOX rate?

no such thing cannot be 1 student card for everyone. They sure check your student card matches your IC

---

Added on April 1, 2009, 2:43 pmYes cheaper than UOX.


This post has been edited by aspire2oo6: Apr 1 2009, 02:44 PM

Yes. SMS rate too.

im thinking to create this topic this morning, but feel so lazy to copy paste the screenshot, the rates, etc lol.. so just let other user make it haha..

by the way, maxis is truly desperate now.. finally they have no choice but to sacrifice some portion of their huge profit. and we as the consumer dont care about wether they desperate or not, as long as we can get cheaper rates..

so, do u think digi will respon back by introducing the much more lower rates (such as 4sen/sms inter operator?).. this is crazy man, i dont know what to say haha..

Oooo i missed the 2nd line

so how to change to this plan?

With this Hotlink Youth Club, it benefits both its house and off house users. We, as the off house users are expecting fiercer competition.

but the target user for youth club is small.. its only targeted to selected university student (student card is required to register), and its valid for 4 years only (am i rite?), while celcom uox/sox is targeted to 13 to 25 years old teenager.. anyone below 26 can register (only mykad is required)..

pity to those who didnot have a chance to study in university, who just stop studying after spm, or just continue studying at small collegue, etc..

i only know about it when hotlink sms me regarding this. Then i went check www.hotlink.com.my i was shocked eh

SHOULD BE 5 SEN.

haiz too bad i just switch to digi

this is nature law.. sometime we at the top, sometime at the bottom.. if you want to be at top only, u can swicth back lol..

note: im sure digi will revise their campus plan. because currently digi campus plan is not attractive anymore compare with celcom uox and hotlink youth club. if the blue and red duck already leave the yellow duck behind, do u think the yellow duck will simply ignore it? it will swim faster soon, trust me haha..

Haha. But DiGi's D' Campus has the advantage on thee free calls and data line.

finally hotlink is scared for the loss of customers due to MNP.

I switched from hotlink to UOX. 3 months already
now hotlink is changing...

when is this plan commences?
can MNP go back to hotlink?
if can, i am thinking of switching back to hotlink

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

This post has been edited by aspire2oo6: Apr 1 2009, 03:54 PM

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..

This post has been edited by epool86: Apr 1 2009, 03:59 PM

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# ?

Thank you for the detail pros/cons of this plan. Damn, I am too old for this plan why no plan for senior citizen one??

too late now u wanna check no more edi.

Last time is when u in campus zone u wanna call out there will be a long beep

why dont u try registering this plan using ur frens/siblings university card, in case they are not using this..

No wonder I used to get long beep before I made a call using Hotlink prepaid. Yeah, I was wondering too why I didn't get the beep back in my hometown.
Now I know, it is the indicator actually.

i already finished my studying.. i still keep my student card, can i use it now?

Time to register it.
Just about to switch to postpaid but this plan comes out

hello ppl are not that stupid. The university card and IC doesnt match means not valid. It need match the IC same name with UNI card
Thats what happen to Celcom UOX last time. Now they already protect themselves to check IC and Student card together

This post has been edited by aspire2oo6: Apr 1 2009, 05:06 PM

my sim card register under my partner name, so i own my personal id card, not sure whether can register on it anot?
need to go maxis centre change the detail then only can register on it?
might try luck to register the youth club 1st.

i doubt tis....
because i am campus zone user for almost 3 years but i didn;t hear any beeps =.=

you in campus zone is 1 story. U activated hotlink zone and in the campus zone is another story 3rd If no beep means u are charge at normal rate.

Wow, finally, i complained in hotlink thread yesterday that my credit didnt extend after top up, so i called and blast the CS kau kau. Then when i wake up, i saw it was till 2013 and i thought maxis was playing april fool joke on me. Now i am not so sure about that

how come there are users who get validity until 2013 while others get 2014?

Now I am not in the Hotlink zone area, but last time I applied for it about 1 year+ ago. They didn't even check my IC, my line is registered under my uncle's IC and he is 40+ now. Strange.

thats the loop hole.

i'm current maxis prepaid user.

so if i want to join this hotlink youth club.

i just bring my student id n show it to them?

i am a register campus zone user.....
but i think my campus zone ada masalah.....
cos when i in 3g always charge normal rate...... in gsm campus zone rate

aiseh..i juz register to maxis postpaid..already use bout 4 month now..
can i revert to diz plan?

I think you need at least 6 months to change back to prepaid.

really? but during register last time dat ppl in maxis center said i can change back to prepaid for free..
duno they cheat me or what hehe..but really want diz hotlink plan
so cheap than maxis postpaid..

Yes, you can because I was a Maxis and Hotlink user.
Maxis to Hotlink to Maxis and lastly back to Hotlink.
But I need to use 6 months of postpaid before changing back to prepaid. Yes, it is free of charge and can get RM 10.00 credit too.

wah.. That why I cannot send and make call yesterday..
hehe they wanna suprise me today.. Hehe really nice plan
coz almost 95% of my credit goes to smsing people..
now can be double or triple.. bravo

im gettin damn pissed wit maxis.. seems like the postpaid subscribers haf no priority from dis cmpany. they keep givin good offers to hotlink subscribers while ignorin postpaid plans. as it is d postpaid plans are expensive.

I think Maxis postpaid is having acceptable rate. The normal Hotlink prepaid users are still striving with expensive call rate. RM 0.33/minute but with 60 seconds/block.
This plan is only for existing campus zone users and newly registered users but must be university students.

Seems like it's a rebranding its old freature - Campuszone and Hotlink Zone.

in a way its useless because its cheaper than activ10. But for those do not have this they still need activ10

Why the expiry date varies? Mine is until 30-3-2013.

I believe it follows the date you applied for Campus Zone rate?

Good work from Hotlink. For months, people are complaining about Hotlink. Now a little peace atm. Haha

Its a simple logic why they more focus for prepaid users....

For postpaid, we use their services first and then pay one month later ( more or less)

But for the prepaid, we must fork our own money first before using their services.

Thats also the reason nowaday they got the "offer" like "buy RM10 credit time only for RM5".....

that is kinda incorrect. Sorry ya. They add 4 years on top of your current expiry of your validity.

Example i subscribe to hotlink 365 it expires in august 2009. So they added 4 years from that expiry. So for who that expires in 2014 because their validity should originally expire next year.

Added on April 1, 2009, 11:35 pmso am i right your validity suppose expire on 30-3-2009 ?

This post has been edited by aspire2oo6: Apr 1 2009, 11:35 PM

Yup. So that is the reason for it. I thought it was 4 years from 1st april, so everyone will exp on 30th march. Appearently not
