My sister ask for the top-up while I was in the office working. That's the dreaded part as I do not share-a-top-up that often. I would need to find the PIN number that I wrote which now could be somewhere. Then I need to remember the steps needed to share-a-top-up, which was easily solved as I could have an online access to hotlink website.

Lucky for me as Hotlink has do away for the need to key in the PIN number. I just need to reply YES to confirm. The confirmation also did not take long.

I was happy. So at night I went to share-a-top up with my other sister. This time also it went smoothly, but I did not receive the confirmation that Hotlink has completed the process. The excitement gone.

Later I discovered that my sis phone was not ON and I was able to top-up-her account.

A small relieved.... I thought Maxis has eaten my money.
