New Hotlink FAST plan is a CHEAT!

LATEST UPDATE:

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

i am a hotlink user for decades (changed few plans and upgraded to 4g simcard along the way) and settled down happily on #hotlink plan.
i always buy monthly fb passes at rm15/month and hotlink knows my data passes purchasing records.

and then my nightmare came...

in march 2016, i received many sms from hotlink asking to convert my existing #hotlink plan to the new hotlink fast plan.
in the sms only mentions about the increase speed and how a smartphone is not complete without this new plan.
they keep on pushing for the conversion and finally i decided to give a try to this new hotlink fast plan (since my simcard is 4g capable) when my fb pass expires.
besides, the other reason was because sometimes the fb pass is slow, which i thought might be due to my non-4g plan.

after my fb pass expired and on 26/3, i converted to the new hotlink fast plan and being charged rm1 for the conversion. after the conversion, i purchased the 30 days fb pass at rm15 as usual. i continue to use it happily.
on 1/4, when i check my red app, there is no longer fb passes available to purchase under this new hotlink fast plan! this means that after this existing fb pass expires, i will be forced to purchase their fast internet passes at much higher price!
on 6/4, i can no longer use my fb pass although i just newly purchased it on 26/3! hotlink changed all the t&c suddenly without informing me and even to the extend of not honouring what i have already purchased?!

i contacted hotlink immediately via pm here and asked my first question:
1) why they suddenly changed the t&c and stopped all future purchase of fb passes under this new fast plan and i was not being informed about this changes earlier. they asked me to refer to the faq of this new plan, claiming that all is well stated there, and fb pass was not part of the available internet pass under this new plan. and then asked me to switch back to #hotlink plan for rm5.

fine, my second question and my third question:
2) if this was all already stated and fb pass was not a part of this new plan, then why i still able to purchase after my conversion? are you telling me that the fb pass i purchased was not supposed to be able to sold to me after my conversion? what kind of nonsense is this??

3) and what is the excuse you are going to give me for terminating my fb pass suddenly without informing me and just kept quiet without refunding anything to me??

IS THIS THE WAY HOW MAXIS/HOTLINK IS CHEATING MONEY FROM YOUR LOYAL CUSTOMERS??
JUST SIMPLY SEND OUT SMS TO PERSUADE USERS TO CONVERT FOR FASTER SPEED AT RM1, THEN TAKE AWAY THEIR RM15 FOR SELLING A MISTAKE FB PASS, THEN ASK ME TO SWITCH BACK TO THE #HOTLINK AT RM5??
JUST LIKE THIS YOU ARE EARNING RM21 FOR GIVING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING OTHER THAN A BAD EXPERIENCE TO YOUR LOYAL CUSTOMERS??

YOU BETTER GIVE ME A GOOD EXPLANATION ON THIS!!
IT'S REALLY BOTHERING ME AND I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH HOTLINK NOW!!

YOU SHOULD REFUND ME BACK THE RM21 FOR THIS CASE!!
I WRITE TO COMPLAIN NOT JUST TO GET BACK THIS SMALL AMOUNT, BUT I DO NOT WANT OTHERS TO BE CHEATED THE SAME WAY!!
IF ONE USER IS GIVING YOU RM21 FOR NOTHING, YOU CAN SIMPLY EARN THOUSANDS FROM YOUR USERS BY CHEATING IN THIS WAY!!

WAKE UP, MAXIS/HOTLINK!! USERS NOWADAYS ARE NOT STUPID AS YOU THINK!!

New Hotlink FAST plan is a CHEAT!

i was charged unreasonably by Gameloft_Club@20160 since few months back i think. i did not subscribe for it & i seldom use my phone so didn't check the balance until recently. i have been charged rm2 each time. there are at least 6 times with rm12 deducted from my balance for the past 30 days. i believe there are more earlier than this. kindly cancel it and refund it to me. thanks.

Samsung S5

Anyone awaiting or has any information for the upcoming new release of Samsung S5 smartphone?

I prefer samsung android phones over iphone due to its convenience.

I like iphones too, but its inconvenient when comes to bluetooth and transfer of files.
