[6GB for $45] New telco launch in Singapore: Zero Mobile

Hi,

SINGAPORE - A new virtual mobile telco is setting up shop in Singapore with an unusual proposition to consumers - it charges more for mobile services than its competitor but lets subscribers lower their bill cost if they refer others.

Zero Mobile, which is due to start mobile services this month, charges $45 a month for 6GB of mobile data, and unlimited local calls and SMS - which is about 60 per cent higher than the prevailing rate here.

But customers can get a recurring credit of $9 per month for every person they refer to the service, capped at five. With five active referred customers, a Zero Mobile subscriber effectively gets his mobile services for free.

It also charges new subscribers a "joining fee" of $50, a fee no other telco here currently imposes.

The company, headquartered in Australia, has picked Singapore as the first country to launch in. It is the second virtual mobile telco to enter the Singapore market after Circles.Life. Virtual telcos do not build their own physical mobile networks, but lease them wholesale from one of the existing telcos. Zero Mobile's partner is Singtel, while Circles.Life works with M1.

Circles.Life also has a referral programme but offers more mobile data as a reward rather than bill credit. And it charges $28 a month for a similar plan.
