News & Reviews:   maxis announce

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. 

Today, Maxis has announced a new partnership with Lazada Malaysia and even made an official online store! A collaboration for the 11.11 sale tomorrow, both Maxis and Hotlink users will be the only telco customers in Malaysia who can grab some Lazada deals directly from their Maxis, Hotlink prepaid and Hotlink postpaid apps. Here's how it works. 

As Malaysians stream more videos online during this year thanks to the pandemic, Maxis just announced that all Maxis Postpaid, Hotlink Prepaid and Hotlink Postpaid users will be able to enjoy one-month free iQIYI VIP access with additional 10GB data.

According to their press release, over 86 public and private hospitals across the nation are granted with free access for Hotlink Postpaid 60 plan for three months. Each activated SIM card comes with 10GB data, plus free 10GB for YouTube, and unlimited calls and SMS to all networks.

This week, there was a rumour going around online about a possible unlimited Hotlink package plan. Today, Maxis have just confirmed with us today that this is indeed true and it's called the Hotlink Prepaid Unlimited plan. As the name suggests, it offers unlimited Internet as well as unlimited network calls from as low as just RM3 per day.

Before we hit the weekend, Maxis just dropped a silent short announcement on their Maxis app that they will be offering free data to all their customers (postpaid and prepaid). However, there is a catch to this - the free data is mainly for us to stay updated with current COVID-19 news on selected websites.

Today, we were invited to check out a new 'tech spin' by Maxis. Called as RE:Collection, it is a data-driven personalised reminiscence app designed to aid elderly Malaysians with dementia that can be downloaded on the Apple and Google Play Store.

Besides that, customers will be able to also order the iPad and Apple TV 4K through Maxis Zerolution with the usual monthly instalments, zero interest rate, zero upfront payment and zero credit card.
