Hotlink (Maxis) Prepaid Unlimited plan details (speed/FUP/etc.)

Made using Canva

Pricing:

  • RM3 for Daily Unlimited
  • RM12 for Weekly Unlimited
  • RM35, RM45 & RM60 for Monthly Unlimited

Speed:

  • RM3, RM12 & RM35 plans are capped up to 3Mbps
  • RM45 plan are capped up to 6Mbps
  • RM55 plan are capped up to 18Mbps

FUP/quota:

  • Daily passes has 5GB FUP, 64kbps thereafter
  • Weekly passes has 15GB FUP, 64kbps thereafter
  • Monthly passes has 50GB FUP, 64kbps thereafter

Your speeds may be capped to 512Kbps during peak times (8pm to 12am), even if you haven’t reached the FUP said above. This is because of Movement Control Order (MCO), according to one Maxis rep. Seems like this policy will persist until CMCO/RMCO is done nationwide. Even if you purchased any high-speed addon, you are still adhering to the FUP above.

Some said their speeds are capped to 1.5Mbps instead of 512Kbps.

Hotspot:

No, but you can add extra RM5 for Unlimited Hotspot which also follows FUP above.

Calls:

  • Unlimited to all networks in Malaysia

Addons:

  • RM1 for 1 hour high-speed unlimited data
  • RM3 for 3GB high-speed data for 24 hours
  • RM10 for 5GB high-speed data for 7 days

Extra perks

  • 10% cashback of app purchases in Google Play Store & Apple App Store using Hotlink credit
  • Free Viu Premium (monthly passes only)

Can you use this plan with LTE CPE/modems?

  • Yes, but…
  • If you purchased the unlimited hotspot addon, you don’t need modified modem
  • If you didn’t purchase the unlimited hotspot addon, you need a modem with support for modifying TTL.

Unifi Mobile uni5G Prepaid “Unlimited” Data plan details (speed/FUP/etc.)

  • RM1 for 2 hours unlimited
  • RM3 for Daily Unlimited (24 hours)
  • RM12 for Weekly Unlimited (7 days)

All plans are capped up to 5Mbps on 4G LTE.

5G NR speeds are uncapped (best effort basis).

Quota/FUP/Hotspot:

PlanFUPHotspot

5G NR: 40GB
10GB

After FUP cap is reached, speeds are restricted to 512Kbps until end of the pass validity.

Can I use this plan inside LTE/5G modem/CPEs?

Yes. You need a modem with TTL fix (hotspot bypass) and support for LTE band 5, 38 & 40. For 5G, you need 4G LTE band 28 and/or 5G n78.

However, because of paltry amount of quota FUP limit, you might want to consider unifi Air (RM79/month, no contract if you pick SIM only) or just get home fibre subscription when possible. Among cheap home fiber plans is Celcom’s 30Mbps @ RM80 or unifi’s 30Mbps @ RM89, which both came with 2 year contract.

Calls:

Unlimited calls to all local networks for monthly plan only.

Otherwise you can add voice addons like below:

RM20200 (value: 10 sen/minute)
Call Minutes are valid to all local networks & doesn’t have expiry (use until you ran out of minutes). Call minutes are deducted exactly on how many seconds after the person on the other end answers your call.

If you didn’t subscribe to any of the voice addons above, calls made will be charged at 20 sen/minute (60 sec per block) to all local networks.

SMS:

Pay per use at 10sen per SMS to all local networks.
