How to cancel Hotlink

Cancel a Hotlink Postpaid plan

• Call Hotlink/Maxis customer care at 1-800-182-1123 (or dial 123 from your Maxis/Hotlink mobile).
• Visit a Maxis Centre in person to request account termination.

Cancel an online store order (physical items)

• See the online store cancellation rules here: Online store terms.

What happens when you cancel

Service access

After postpaid termination, your service access will be ended according to Maxis/Hotlink account processing. Any active allowances tied to the account typically stop once the account is closed.

Auto-renewals and passes

Recurring passes or subscriptions should stop after cancellation of the plan. Confirm with customer care to ensure auto-renewals are disabled on your account.

Will I get a refund?

Refunds for account balances and deposits

Hotlink plans and pricing

Where to check prices

This guide does not list prices. For the latest plan rates and promotions, refer to Hotlink’s official product pages and terms.

Your consumer rights in Singapore

General guidance for Singapore residents

If you are in Singapore using a Hotlink product, note that Hotlink is a Malaysian service provider and its terms are set by Maxis/Hotlink.

Local consumer protection and remedies in Singapore may differ from Hotlink’s published policies; consider seeking local advice if you need legal clarification.

Practical steps and limitations

Refunds and cancellations are governed by Hotlink’s terms (see online store and refund pages). There is no general automatic 14‑day cooling-off right in Hotlink’s Malaysian terms.

If you paid by card in Singapore, you can also contact your card issuer about disputes or chargebacks as an additional option.

Customer experiences

Positive feedback

Some customers highlight brand recognition, regular updates and flexible plan options as useful aspects of Hotlink’s service.

Common complaints

Many reports mention intermittent network access, coverage issues, roaming pass activation problems and frustration with refund and billing dispute handling.

Customer service responsiveness and resolution rates are reported as variable in user reviews.

Documentation checklist

Required documents for cancellations

• Account holder’s full name and registered mobile number.
• Account number or customer reference (if available).
• Proof of identity (NRIC/passport) or the registered email used on the account.

Required documents for refunds

• Bank account details matching the account owner (for local refunds).
• Transaction receipts or order confirmation for online store purchases.
• Completed Refund Request form for balance/deposit refunds (see official FAQ).

Common mistakes

Assuming a universal cooling-off period

Many customers expect a 14-day cooling-off window for telecom services. Hotlink’s terms do not provide a blanket cooling-off right for digital services or plans.

Waiting until after shipment

Attempting to cancel online store orders after the item is packed or shipped will usually fail. Always cancel before packing to secure a refund.
