一、Circles.Life计划在印尼和香港推出MVNO业务
Circles.Life继5月在新加坡推出了4G服务，完成其区域扩展后，计划于今年下半年与印度尼西亚和香港的运营商合作推出MVNO业务。Circles.Life的联合创始人&高管Rameez Ansar讲到，计划推出MVNO业务是基于了解到多个区域的电信运营商均有使用新加坡infrastructure-light模型来扩大其市场的需求。2016年5月，区域性虚商Liberty Wireless曾以Circles.Life的品牌，使用新加坡第三大运营商M1的无线基础设施推出4G服务。
针对此次国际性的扩张和运营计划，Circles.Life公司任命Donald Chan（MVNO Summit 2016年演讲嘉宾）为国际部门高管。Chan是克利福德资本的首席运营官，克利福德资本是在新加坡政府的支持下建立的结构化融资解决方案的专业供应商。同时他还为Temasek Holdings和新加坡金融管理局工作。
Ansar还说到，该公司有望在几年内实现占有新加坡国内高比例的市场份额。
流量加油包服务
该运营商面向新加坡用户推出了——流量加油包服务，只需每月多交20新加坡元（即14.20美元）就能获取20GB额外数据流量，被更名为50新加坡元以下最大的非合同数据流量计划。
新用户可以开通20GB的数据加油包并保留其非合约计划的28新加坡元/月的基础套餐，同时套餐内的移动数据流量可升级至6GB。运营商说目前客户可通过circlescare应用软件购买20GB的额外流量。48新加坡币/月的套餐的客户只需二者选一就可将流量可升级至26GB。
Ansar说该运营商还推出免费来电显示和WhatsApp无限次访问。
Circles.Life targets MVNO launches in Indonesia and Hong Kong
Circles.Life which launched 4G service in Singapore in May, finalised its regional expansion plans and will partner with operators in Indonesia and Hong Kong to introduce MVNO services later this year.
Rameez Ansar, Circles.Life co-founder and director, said the MVNO is having discussions with multiple parties after receiving requests from several regional telco players to expand in their markets using its Singapore infrastructure-light model.
Liberty Wireless, a regional MVNO, launched 4G service in May 2016 in the city state under the Circles.Life brand using Singapore’s third largest operator M1’s wireless infrastructure.
To head its international expansion and operations, Circles.Life hired Donald Chan as director of international. Chan was COO for Clifford Capital, a specialist provider of structured finance solutions established with support of the government of Singapore. He also worked for Temasek Holdings and the Monetary Authority of Singapore.
Ansar said the company is on track to achieve a high single-digit market share in Singapore within a few years.
Expanded data offer
The operator also introduced an expanded data offer giving customers in Singapore 20GB of extra data for SGD20 ($14.20) a month, which it claims is the largest non-contract data plan available for under SGD50.
New subscribers can sign up for the 20GB Data Plus option along with its base non-contract plan of SGD28/month with up to 6GB of mobile data, while current customers on the base plan can add on the 20GB Data Plus option via the CirclesCare app, the operator said. Both options give customers up to 26GB for SGD48/month.
Ansar said it also introduced free caller ID and unlimited WhatsApp access.
