News & Reviews:   Hotlink

This week's TechNave Business Bytes for Week 4 of March 2024 news highlights Malaysia's thriving tech scene and various initiatives aimed at propelling the country towards a digital future. From attracting international partnerships to empowering local businesses, Malaysia is making significant strides in the tech and innovation landscape.

At Maxis' corner, its Pakej P-Hailing Rahmah plans are found in the Maxis Business FAQ section. Exclusively for all p-hailing drivers and riders as advertised, here's what Maxis is offering to them.

Previously, we mentioned Hotlink’s new prepaid plans with upgraded unlimited internet passes and calls. Today, Maxis launched a free 5G internet pass for all users, including Hotlink. This offer runs until 15 September 2023. That said, what should you know about this internet pass?

Today, Hotlink just introduced an all-new plan with upgraded internet passes. Both the new Hotlink Unlimited RM50 and RM40 internet passes have increased internet speed to 12Mbps and 6Mbps respectively. Meanwhile, the Hotlink Pantas RM35 and RM25 passes now come with additional data. 

The Ministry of Communications and Digital (KKD) today officially launched the PAKEJ PERPADUAN prepaid mobile internet plan. First announced in December last year, the package is available from now until 31 December 2023 and offers 30GB of data at 3Mbps speed, with a validity period of 180 days for just RM30.

Hotlink Postpaid 30 has been around for some time but it's not the one getting the upgrades. Instead, Maxis is throwing in an extra 10GB of mobile data for both Hotlink Postpaid 60 and Hotlink Postpaid 40. 

Today, Maxis has launched an all-new Hotlink app and to celebrate this occasion, both Hotlink prepaid and postpaid users will have some sweet free Raya deals. The promotion will end on 7 May with prizes worth up to RM100,000. 

In the upcoming Merdeka, Hotlink by Maxis will be offering some attractive vouchers, prizes and smartphone redemption to the customers. Under the campaign “Bikin Selalu, Hotlink App Dulu”, Hotlink subscribers will just need to reload their credit or purchase e-vouchers on the Hotlink app to participate.

Besides the general inconvenience, the global pandemic-induced movement control order (MCO) has had severe economical effects. That's why some companies are looking for ways to "balance the books", so to say. One of them would be Maxis, which has been throttling the Internet speed for some of its Hotlink users.

In conjunction with the upcoming Chinese New Year, Maxis is throwing a social media activity for all Malaysians. Besides that, there are other CNY promotions as well but before we get to that, here's some information about the social media contest with a chance to win 15x Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 5G phones in total.
