Bought Hotlink Prepaid eSIM from the app, not QR?

raijinshou — Fri, 03 Jan 2025 01:59:18 +0800

I just bought Hotlink Prepaid eSIM from the Hotlink app, the final is Download Link, not QR.
I am using eSIM Adapter for my phone, the app for eSIM Adapter can only scan QR, I can use Digi eSIM just fine coz Digi gave me QR that I can scan using the esim.me App.
But Hotlink eSIM one is Download Link (can be opened in iPhone, but I am using Android Phone + eSIM Adapter = esim.me), not QR.

Just wanna know, if buy at Maxis Center, can request QR one?
or only give Download Link one?

Thanks

topup Hotlink from oversea for foreigner?

raijinshou — Tue, 22 Aug 2023 20:34:46 +0800

Hi, I am Indonesian, frequent traveller to Malaysia due to medical reason (like 1-3 months once). So I keep my number active so that I dont keep buying new number.

Hotlink has grace period of 50 days, so if my next visit is more than the termination date, I usually topup RM5 using SeaGM to keep my number active.
But today, SeaGM did not provide anymore topup for Hotlink.

Do you have any idea what other service such as website or app that allow me to topup my hotlink and the payment is via credit card like SeaGM?

thanks for the information.

Food Delivery app for Tourist in Penang?

raijinshou — Mon, 11 Feb 2019 12:39:30 +0800

Due to Deliver Eat and Food Panda apps not available for me as my Google Play Account is not Malaysian, these 2 popular apps do not work for me.

Anyone can recommend one that is working?

I am visiting Penang quite often so would like to have a working food delivery app.

Best Mobile Internet in Georgetown Penang?

raijinshou — Sun, 18 Mar 2018 19:58:25 +0800

Hi, I am a foreigner and travel frequently to Georgetown Penang.

I mostly only purchase the 1 day package coz only stay few days.

what is the fastest and stable between:
- Maxis Hotlink
- Digi
- Celcom Xpax
?

Usage is around 1 GB/day.

Have tried U Mobile, never get 4G, so it's not in the list.
Have tried friend's Digi and Hotlink, seems Hotlink is faster and more stable.
Never try Celcom.

Anyone can fill in please?
thanks

---------------------------------------------

UPDATE 27 Mar 2018:
Thanks to the feedbacks from Everyone, here what I've gather through OWN testing

* For SPEED & STABLE: Maxis Hotlink
4G+ / LTE-A 90% / nearly everywhere I go in Georgetown
50+ Mbps
RM 3 = 2 GB/day

* For CHEAP & STABLE: Digi
4G / LTE 90% / nearly everywhere I go in Georgetown
20+ Mbps
RM 1 = 300 MB/day
RM 3 = 2 GB/day

* uMobile is not recommended
no 4G anywhere, only 3G/H/H+
Speed is bad, goes as low as 100 Kbps
Latency is bad, lost connection is common

* Celcom / Tunetalk have not been tested (will update if I have tried)

---------------------------------------------

UPDATE 18 Aug 2018:
Will never stay at Burmahtel again, both Maxis and Digi are NOT USABLE INSIDE THE ROOM. Digi manage to have 4G, Maxis only 3G, tested with Speedtest, both cannot even reach 1 Mbps, with 500 ms Latency, and crazy Jitter. THIS IS A WARNING TO ALL TRAVELLERS!!!
