If Hotlink customers were feeling a little left out from all that ‘gee-bees’ that Maxis was dishing out to its postpaid customers, it’s time to wipe away those tears and put away those tissue boxes. Maxis has now announced an enhanced Hotlink FAST prepaid plan that provides up to 8 GB/month of 4G Internet on the weekends. This offer is valid for life and subscribers will only need to ensure that their account remains active to enjoy the freebies. The Hotlink FAST prepaid starter pack is now priced at RM 10 for a limited time before it goes back to its original price of RM 15. It comes with preloaded credit of RM 5 (with 5 day validity) as well as 300 MB of high speed internet (2-day validity) upon activation.
The FREE 2GB Weekend 4G for LIFE offer is available to all enhanced Hotlink FAST prepaid plan users including current Hotlink FAST subscribers, who will also be automatically upgraded. Those who are not on Hotlink FAST prepaid will be able to upgrade too in just a few steps. Unfortunately, this option will not be available to Hotlink Broadband/Tablet plan, Super IDD, and special edition plans (i.e. Sabah, Sarawak, Kelantan, Terengganu edition) from #Hotlink & Hotlink 2.0. Furthermore, the current Mobile Internet options that include Mobile Internet, ReloadPlus, and Hot Tickets are also not available to this plan.
For weekday internet, subscribers will be able to purchase data passes that come from as low as RM 3 for 1 GB (daily pass), along with other data options too: RM 10 for 600 MB or RM 7 for 200 MB (weekly passes), as well as RM 30, RM 38, and RM 48 for 2, 3, and 5 GB of data (monthly passes) respectively. Going further than that will require an add-on and Hotlink has three of those. RM 3 for 150 MB, RM 8 for 500 MB, and RM 12 for 1 GB. Just need to keep in mind that these internet boosters require an active subscription to any one of those internet passes and their validity is tied those passes’ expiry dates. Subscribers who don’t purchase any of those or have run out of data will still be able to continue using the internet for communications via the FREE Social Chat feature. It will be available to all chat apps including WhatsApp, LINE, WeChat, and FB Messenger.
The internet allocations for all of the above are deducted in the following order:
- Daily passes
- FREE 2GB Weekend 4G for LIFE pass
- Weekly/Monthly passes
It is also important to note that the 2 GB weekend allocation is broken up into a GB for each day (1 GB for Saturday and another for Sunday), and it requires that subscribers are using a 4G LTE enabled device, have a 4G LTE enabled SIM (can be upgraded for free at the nearest Maxis Centre), turn on 4G or LTE on their mobile device, and that they’re within the 4G LTE coverage area. In other words, the FREE 2GB Weekend 4G for LIFE pass only works when users are connected to a 4G network.
