On a recent overnight trip to Batam, I was wondering what I should do for Internet access. I thought of my MCard (M1 prepaid card), and out of the blue decided to explore those MY prepaid cards.
Lo and behold, finally settled on Hotlink Data Roam Pass. Saved me having to hunt and spend time (which I couldn't spare) to get an IN prepaid card as well.
I believe some of you with Hotlink cards would have received quite a few SMSes from them lately, about this 1GB RM10/day roaming. What I like about it, is that it's automatic - just turn on Data Roam on the phone and that's it. (Some of my friends using their Digi cards had to go through the subscription steps. )
8 Countries covered:
Singapore
Indonesia
Thailand
Myanmar
Brunei
Philippines
Cambodia
Laos
Too much credit in your Hotlink card, and still waiting for the iPhone to come up with dual-SIM slots? I'm now considering the option to switch the SIM cards at home and turning on data roam on the day of departure (when I'll also be expecting Whatsapp messages and calls), so I won't have to bother about having to deal with the SIM slot removing PIN and SIM cards later.
Good sharing...
Too bad as I don't own a Hotlink card, it is tedious to maintain so many cards. ..
