If you dig further, you will understand that once you pass the free 1GB data or 30mins talktime, you have to pay more to get them &#8211; 1GB for S$8, 2GB for S$12 and additional 30 minutes talktime with free 10 SMS for S$5. That, in my opinion, is the only &#8220;catch&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>But if you already pay nothing, this &#8220;top-up&#8221; is really not deal breaker. Moreover, you can upgrade at any time to their base plan of S$28 for 6GB of data\u00a0or S$48 for 26GB of data.<\/p>\n<p>So, for those who are unsure if they should jump ship to Circles.Life, this is your chance to check them out at zero cost to you.<\/p>\n<p>If you are still hesitating because you think it is a hazard to go to their shops to sign up, they have a solution for you. Circles.Life is working with SingPost to provide more choices for people to sign up. So, on top of signing up online, <span class=\"il\">Circles<\/span>.<span class=\"il\">Life<\/span> is initially rolling out kiosks at the General Post Office, Sengkang, and Woodlands post offices where customers can sign-up and get their SIM card immediately.<\/p>\n<p>My referral code: <strong><em>JOETEH<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Disclaimer: If someone signs up using my referral code, I will get additional 200MB\/month bonus data<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Check out the Press Release for more details.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Press Release<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">With $0\/mo Flexi Plan, Circles.Life Opens Up Smart Nation to Everyone<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Singapore, 22 May 2018<\/strong> &#8211; With the new Circles.Life $0\/month Flexi Plan, now everyone gets access to\u00a0the Internet .
