Circles.Life launches in Australia – Press Release

Singapore-based telco company Circles.Life today announced its expansion into Australia through a strategic partnership with local telco giant Optus. The expansion followed its entry into Taiwan recently.

“We have made history in the telco space with our rapid launch in Taiwan and now, Australia. In Australia, similar to other countries we found that customers are unhappy with their telcos so we’re stepping up the game by offering a premium customer experience. We are proud to partner with Optus and we aim to set a new benchmark for customer satisfaction in the country,” said Circles.Life Co-Founder Rameez Ansar.

In a press statement, the company credited its ability to enter new markets rapidly due to its Circles-X technology stack. Unlike a traditional telco or MVNO, Circles.Life has eliminated all proprietary hardware and appliances and moved the entire architecture to a software-based cloud environment.

In Singapore, Circles.Life has already expanded beyond telco by creating digital lifestyle and insurance products, with more to come.
