Thereโs a new contender in town for no-contract digital phone plans.

GOMO or Get Out More Often, by Singtel was launched yesterday, 25 March, and looks to be a promising contender against Circles.Life and Zero Mobile.
Digital Telcos
Chances are, youโve heard or seen Circles.Life advertisements unless you live under a rock.
In case you donโt know, Circles.Life is a digital telecommunications operator (or in simple English, a digital telco) which was launched in Singapore in 2016. They are completely digital and donโt have a physical shop for you to visit.
So if you want to write in a complain or enquiry about missing data, youโll have to chat with a CSO through their chat box. (Speaking from personal experience, though, their CSOs are friendly.)
Stated on their website, Circles.Life is โAsiaโs first fully digital telco and consumer companyโ. They mainly offer no-contract mobile plans, which means youโre free to hop on or off the telco anytime you want.
You may or may not know this, but thereโs actually another digital telco in Singapore called Zero Mobile. Theyโre similar to Circles.Life but are a little on the pricey side.
But they have unlimited data, calls and SMS compared to the other two.
Now, with these new digital telcos providing data thatโs as cheap as cai png, you can bet that the traditional players are going to fight back.

And fight back they do.
Singtel GOMO
Now, if the headline isnโt clear enough, hereโs what Singtel GOMOโs providing: for $20, you get 20GB, 200 SMSes, 200 min outgoing calls, free caller ID and incoming SMS.
Circles.Life, on the other hand, offers 20GB for $18/per month (previously $28), with 100 minutes and 25 SMS.
Both telcos offer additional data on top of your contract.
So, if youโre someone who loves talking on the phone for hours with your boyfriend or girlfriend, you may want to consider porting over to GOMO.

Other than that, the way in which they handle enquires are the same. GOMO is also fully operated online, and enquires are made through the 24/7 live chat.
Also, GOMO is has no contract, so itโs really a battle to the death between them.
Attractive Offers
In an article published by The Straits Times, Mr Yuen Kuan Moon, Singtelโs Consumer Singaporeโs Chief executive officer, said: โGomo is for the segment of our customers who want to get things done easily and only want to interact with us digitally.โ
Aka, us millennials who get impatient over everything and anything.
GOMO customers can also enjoy dining discounts at selected restaurants and cafes.

Psst, theyโre all hipster places too.
And if you sign up before 30 April, you can also get a free GOMO travel SIM.
But whatโs GOMO Travel Sim?
The Travel Sim
GOMOโs travel sim is available for use in 8 countries: Australia, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Macau, Malaysia, Philippines, Taiwan and Thailand.
It prices $20 for 3GB that spans across 10 days. Activation is also relatively easy as it can be registered and activated online, then you can start to use it.
The travel sim is also available for purchase in Singtel shops and 7-Elevens, and can be purchased online at Lazada or Qoo10.
