Ish Circles.Life trying to unalive itself? Got email from dem saying they are introducing a monthly "platform fee" from Mayday. In exchange ish simi "premium AI tools", simi "refreshed Circles of Joy Rewards program". Charging subscribers more money to hit their own KPI. Going to jump ship liao. What ish good sim-only no contract MVNO to jump ship to for LTE (4G)? I dun mind paying more, but the coverage must be good. Using it for work and need access to internet data everywhere I go (no real fixed working place - travelling to whereever the client wants everyday).

how much are you paying a month and for what?
I think ish about $40-$50. Got some talk time dat I neber use. Got some SMS dat I neber use other than 2FA SMS. Only use it for data. I think the plan's data was like 5GB or 10GB (since I set warning in my hp for 5GB data used) but it rolls over so unsued data goes into a pool. Also have Caller-ID. Dats it.

I nid to use it to access internet on my hp and sometimes tether to laptop/Chromebook. Mainly to do document work like Google Docs, Google Sheets, accessing Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Photos, Whatsapp.

Signed up wif them in like 2016-ish and since the network was stable and at dat point the app was beri good - easy to add/remove add-ons instantly thru it. Olso could see amount of data/calls minutes/SMS used versus what I had in my plan - all which can no longer be found in the current bloated app dat dun let you add/remove add-ons and have no idea what's in my plan anymore.

Okay, I opened up the bill in the email. It's $29 for 3GB, 100 mins, 25 sms. In the bill olso includes "Additional Talktime + 200 mins at $0.00" and also "Bonus Data 99.5GB FREE" and "Caller ID FREE"

According to the bill, I used 13.6GB in March.

The platform fee ish 30 cents/month. But common sense will tell u not to karcheow paying customers. As long as they're paying u dun wan them to suddenly wonder if there's a better deal elsewhere. Plus nobody likes to be nickle and dimed.

Description of it ish really no value to me, but good for their staff to hit KPI:

"At Circles.Life, we are committed to continuously enhancing your experience through innovation, transparency, and a relentless focus on customer value. As the only telecom operator in Singapore running a fully self-developed, locally built digital platform, we are uniquely positioned to introduce meaningful improvements that serve you better.

"We are pleased to announce a series of upcoming enhancements:

  • Complimentary access to premium AI tools that support productivity, creativity, and everyday problem-solving.
  • A refreshed Circles of Joy Rewards program, with expanded benefits and recognition tailored to your usage and loyalty.
  • Exclusive lifestyle offers from leading brands, seamlessly integrated into your Circles.Life experience.
"To ensure we can continue to develop and deliver these enhancements sustainably, a platform fee of $0.30 per month will be introduced, effective 1st May 2025. This fee will appear on your monthly bill and directly supports ongoing investments in our platform and services.

"We understand the importance of clear communication and responsible pricing. This fee allows us to provide even greater value while maintaining the digital-first, customer-driven approach that defines Circles.Life."

circle life is using m1 network...

anyway just switch to gomo or giga and get an 8 or 10 dollar plan

your consumption is so little theres no need to pay 4x the amount
