bobian, currently only paying $3.30 [limited time promo], after increase, will be $3.70, still lower than simba senior line

heng this circles line is 3rd line, more for convenience rather than anything else, may be will cancel if i don't carry so many devices in future

does the platform fee hit the 3 months free plan?

Their past practice suggests that they will charge first talk later.

Eight Mobiles Double Eight Plan during 88days free and 1-for-1 promo takes up is definitely a better option. At least its forever is truly forever unlike CL forever excluding platform fee. That is why now they are increasing the platform fee...

this is absurd

That means an extra $0.70 will be charged to the customer's monthly mobile plan fee?

Yes, previously was 30 cents.

and you can't opt out either, the only way is to port out (and never port in).

Circles is the only operator that charges platform fee.

 

[Otokiru]

Complain to imda about unethical practice

i did it before when they going to charge it the first time...
IMDA says since im not in contract, i can port out to other telco anytime...
behkan IMDA... since circle life doing this shitty move 2nd time, i already porting over to other telco liao...

Their's is so called "built in house" circles version of chatgpt 5.0 model. They marketed it as Chatgpt, but it's actually their own, not the chatgpt version.

I tried it last year, not fantastic. But they want you to use their circles app. Now the app is super heavy and clustered, not only with chatgpt, but with the cashback feature.

This CL like some Ponzi scheme lol...

 

[shawniiex]

You all know you not happy with this, can just port out right?
There's literally no barrier to do so. Everyone not on contract right?

 

[rest1ess]

Even so, complained first. We have learnt that only complaints move things.

complain got what use, grab foodpanda every time increase, people still use.

Circles chatGPT is actually a "fake" version. It doesn't match up to the official chatGPT.
tried and tested, results are rubbish.

all we asked for is a simple telco plan. don't need fancy integrated chatgpt or cashback or virtual debit card.
the management probably doesn't know SG market well enough... we don't subscribe to such nonsense.

IMDA actually condone it by reasoning that since customers are not in contract, they cannot be bothered?

They probably are using 3rd parties like openrouter and customizing the style / response of their "chat".
