Consumers who want the freedom of the best, no-contract, mobile line for data without having to cough out the full price of the newest iPhones upfront can now have their cake and eat it too.
Circles.Life will be offering all three models of the latest Apple smartphones for $0 upfront – the iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X – through its partnership program with Singapore banks DBS, POSB and UOB. Circles.Life subscribers can choose to pay for their favorite smartphone in installments of up to 24 months through their Visa or MasterCard credit cards with the partner banks. Users can also split their payments by choosing to pay an upfront amount of their choice and the remainder by installments.
The icing on the cake – that the purchase of the phone is not tied to the mobile subscription. Unlike the regular contract plans, Circles.Life users can customize their monthly plans each month or switch mobile operators* without paying any penalty for early termination. Customers who do so simply continue to pay for the remainder of their credit card installments to their respective banks.
