ok after my trip, i might have gotten scam by the DIGI sales person.

She said RM20 for 2gb 2weeks + 10RM credit. <--- seems like a good deal since im only here for 3days, and the other plans were inflated and i don't require that much data...

So on DIGI's website (http://new.digi.com.my/prepaid/live), if u get this you will only pay RM8.00(incl. GST) comes with:
• Preloaded RM5
• 300MB (7 days) HIGH SPEED INTERNET<--- after 300MB, u will have internet but low speed!
• Pack validity: 5 days

The RM5 credit can be used to subscribe for the Internet One Time Pass(RM1 for 24hours unlimited use on social media// RM1 for 24hours unlimited use on Media streaming sites)

SO THIS IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR MY SINGAPOREAN DWELLERS!(IF AND ONLY IF you are here for 1-3days!) just have to pay RM8!!!


(WHICH IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED IF YOU ARE ONLY THERE FOR 1-3DAYS!)

PRO: value for money
CON: hard to find this prepaid card too cause normally shops will wan you to buy their upgraded version(EG:RM20 for more credit--->they know you wont use those credits also so they earn Etc)


LOOK AT THE LINK I FOUND: http://new.digi.com.my/prepaid-plans

That time those phone people scam us sayingg RM30 for simcard and data... I was like wtf. it was not that ex a month ago.

What phone is your friend using? Has she been experiencing "very slow" network all these 2 years?

My advice is to contact Maxis/Hotlink customer service.

Those dealers are trying to earn some extras to pay towards their overheads like rental and salaries. If you guys feel that's unfair, just head for other places like news stands and telco centers to buy your SIM packs.

If you feel heading elsewhere is waste of time and/or money, just get from those dealers.

Do your own maths and figure out how much credit balance and data you need, then decide where is best for yourselves.

You got it.

"Maybe too old and slow..." "She can't remember..."

Check the network with proper devices and at proper places, then head for customer service if nothing works. As another member has mentioned earlier, hers might not even be a 4G-capable SIM card too.

is she using the sim card directly on her phone or on a mifi?

after hotlink rolled out unlimited facebook and instagram, access to these sites is blocked when tethered.

Even better reason to keep the hotlink fast card alive as long as possible. If not for the free weekend , would have jump to Digi or Celcom.
