### 2/5 — Keeps saying not enough credit

*2026-05-29, version 5.44.0*

I topped up no problem. Balance shows the right amount. But doesn’t let me buy a pass, saying I don’t have enough credit.

### 3/5 — Passkey or Email Login

*2026-01-14, version 5.41.0*

Lack of Email and Passkey login.

### 2/5 — Partially without function

*2026-01-10, version 5.41.0*

Top up Process leads sometimes to a redirection page which is not working.

So top up for Internet isn’t going to work….

### 1/5 — Get eSIM menu not working

*2025-12-20, version 5.41.0*

The “Get eSIM” and “Activate my SIM” function does work. I opened the app and chose “Activate or Get New SIM”. In the next page, no matter how many times I tapped on either options, nothing seems to happen. What a weird app.

### 1/5 — Unable to Activate / Get New Sim

*2025-12-20, version 5.41.0*

I am trying to get a new esim, but the button “Get eSIM” is not clickable (clicked and no response)

Version: 5.41.0
Mobile OS: IOS

### 1/5 — App not functioning

*2025-12-19, version 5.41.0*

I want to register an esim. The website and guide said to use the app to register for an esim. Clicking Activate or Get New Sim button, open a page showing get esim and activate my sim but nothing cam be click. Restart the app and still nothing happen. How you find new customer if basic registration not working properly? Then i bought sim card but i still cannot register it. The registration page doea not even show anything. Rubbish

### 1/5 — Cannot activate SIM card

*2025-12-19, version 5.41.0*

I bought a data sim and wasted 10rm as the Hotlink portal shows the option of activate sim which does not have any effect upon clicking because it’s not even a link. I asked the chatbot and even tried to connect to the agent but I cannot get the help I need. Their 123 is even non existence. Is this hotlink a scam in the first place???

### 1/5 — Always log me out

*2025-12-07, version 5.40.0*

I'm very disappointed that this have been happening very frequently. I'm a Hotlink user more than 15 years. Always the app last time never log me out. Now that the app keeps logging me out that causes no notification saying my bill has arrived. As a busy person. There are times we forgot to pay bills and need to be reminded. And now my bill is always overdue cause I only check when I remember, not longer getting reminded. 

Update: now I can't even press continue to log in and pay bill. So how now

### 1/5 — Useless waste of money.

*2025-12-07, version 5.40.0*

### 1/5 — Can not top up

### 1/5 — Esim

### 1/5 — Get new eSIM doesn’t work

*2025-10-30, version 5.38.2*

I tried to get a new eSIM. Took a photo of my passport and then my face 3 times. I got message that all fine and processed button, but after click on it all started again, I tried few times and removed an app. Do that just still passport data?

### 1/5 — Keep logging in

*2025-10-11, version 5.38.1*

The apps keep on asking me to log in with phone numbers everytime I want to log in and pay my bills. It’s so annoying and become a hustle just to pay the bills. Can it just permanently logging in and didn’t need me to log in everytime I open the apps? I change the setting on background apps refresh still no difference at all. If the problem is w my phone, my goodness I’m using the latest iphone since I change from my 13pm. Initially I thought that the 13pm got some issues but it can’t be loggical for ip17 got the same issues?? Fix this please. Got so annoying. Logging in takes agess… the connection is 5G but it takes hours and multiple time of trying to log in to this wretched apps. If I pay my bills late just for a week my line would get barred even when my limit are still in a huge gap.. fix this please!!
