SINGAPORE. Travel concierge brand Changi Recommends – the marketing brand of Changi Airport Group subsidiary Changi Travel Services – has launched Changi Mobile, a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) for the Singaporean market. The service is being delivered in partnership with telecommunications provider M1.
Changi Mobile’s plans work on a no-contract basis with monthly prices from S$8 (US$5.91)-S$35 (US$25.87) per month for packages of data, call time and SMS.
Perks of the service include data roll-over, free incoming calls and SMS, free Caller ID, complimentary porting over of existing numbers, free SIM card delivery within two working days, fee waiver for a new SIM card, free SIM card activation and 24/7 customer assistance.
Changi Mobile is also offering all companies and organisations in Singapore a specific service under the name Corporate Individual Scheme (CIS). The service offers exclusive perks and preferential rates for employees.
The CIS (Flexi Best+) plan comes with 40 GB of data, 400 minutes talk time and 400 SMS for S$15 (US$11.09) per month. Enrolment of Changi Mobile’s CIS can be initiated here.
Established in 2012, Changi Recommends is the marketing brand of Changi Travel Services, a subsidiary of Changi Airport Group. Changi Travel Services Head of e-Commerce (Super App) Rayne Gan said: “Finding a suitable mobile plan can prove to be challenging as there is no one-size-fits-all solution. Changi Mobile’s emphasis on flexibility seeks to resolve just that by ensuring that consumers will only pay for what they use with no nasty bill shock.
“We are thrilled to partner a leading telco like M1 for Changi Mobile. M1’s strong network infrastructure and proven track record is integral to providing Changi Mobile the opportunity to serve its subscribers better.”
M1 General Manager Business Development Emad Bakhshy said: “We are very pleased to welcome yet another MVNO partner onboard M1’s network. We are supportive of MVNOs that bring about new and unique value propositions, and look forward to tap on Changi Recommends’ unique customer base to offer an enhanced mobile services experience to a new segment of the market.
“We look forward to working closely with Changi Recommends and more MVNOs to create a dynamic mobile network and technology ecosystem.”
To celebrate the launch of its new service, Changi Mobile is offering new subscribers the chance to win multiple prizes, including lucky draw prizes worth S$15,000 (US$11,090), a complimentary month of mobile service and shopping vouchers.
