- Circles.Life
Circles.Life is a Singapore-based mobile operator using a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) model, which requires no physical infrastructure apart from a software platform provided by Circles.Life’s technology vendor. The company has been reportedly valued at S$25 million in the seed round of financing, and it has applied for a full operating license in Singapore.
Since its launch, Circles.Life has been compared to MVNOs such as FreedomPop and Lyca Mobile because it offers zero-rated data access to certain apps and websites during the user’s daily commute. Like other MVNOs, Circles.Life suggests its own mobile plans for users to choose from.
Circles.Life uses mobile number portability (MNP) in Singapore to allow customers of other full-service mobile carriers in the country to switch over to their platform.
