Smartphone Subscriptions in Singapore
Get the latest iPhone, Samsung, and Google phones on a flexible monthly subscription — brand new or refurbished. Every plan includes free delivery, free Damage Cover, and the freedom to upgrade, swap, or return at the end of your term.
How Phone Subscriptions Work
Instead of paying full price upfront or signing a 24-month telco contract, a Circular phone subscription gives you the device on its own — no SIM, no carrier lock-in — for a fixed monthly fee. Choose your term (from 3 months up to 24+ months), your condition (Brand New, Like New, or Lightly Used), and your storage and colour, and see your exact monthly price before you order. There's no hidden cost at checkout: the price you're quoted is the price you pay each month for the length of your term.
Why Subscribe with Circular
- Flexible terms — from short-term (3+ months) to long-term (24+ months), so you're not locked into a plan longer than you need
- Free Damage Cover on every device, covering up to 90% of repair costs for screen damage, water damage, and general wear and tear
- Zero e-waste commitment — every returned device is refurbished and re-circulated rather than landfilled, cutting into Singapore's ~60,000 tonnes of annual e-waste
- No long-term ownership commitment — upgrade to the newest model, swap to a different device, or return at the end of your term
Phone Subscription vs. Buying Outright vs. a Telco Contract
A phone subscription sits between two familiar options, and solves what each one gets wrong. Buying a phone outright means a large upfront cost and a device that loses value the moment you unbox it. A telco contract locks you into a SIM plan for 24 months just to get a discounted handset, whether or not you actually want to switch carriers. A Circular subscription unbundles the device from the SIM entirely — keep your existing mobile plan, choose your own term length, and walk away or upgrade at the end without early termination fees eating into what you'd get back on a trade-in.
New or Refurbished — What's the Difference?
Every device on Circular falls into one of three conditions, so you know exactly what you're getting before you subscribe:
- Brand New — Straight out-of-the-box devices. Completely new and the highest quality option for those looking to subscribe, rather than buy, brand new.
- Like New — The second-highest quality condition in the Circular inventory. Near-mint condition, almost indistinguishable from brand new, with no noticeable scratches, dents, or other imperfections. Screens are free of dead pixels or touch issues, despite having been used before.
- Lightly Used — Fully functional devices, carefully inspected, cleaned, repaired, and tested to meet Circular's quality standards. May have minor cosmetic imperfections such as light scratches or small dents, but nothing that affects performance. Screens may show minor blemishes, but no dead pixels or touch issues.
Refurbished conditions (Like New and Lightly Used) typically cost less per month than the same model Brand New, with the same free Damage Cover included across every condition.

Free Delivery and Damage Cover, Included
Every Circular phone subscription includes free delivery across Singapore, with an estimated delivery window shown before you check out. Every device also comes with free Damage Cover, covering up to 90% of the cost of repairing technical defects, display breaks, water damage, and general wear and tear — so you can use your phone like it's yours, because for the length of your subscription, it is.
Who Can Subscribe?
Singapore Citizens, Permanent Residents, and EP/S Pass holders aged 18+ can apply. Approval is based on your Spending Power, confirmed after you create an account.
What Happens at the End of Your Subscription?
When your term ends, you're not locked into anything. Upgrade to the newest model, renew your existing device for another term, swap to a different phone entirely, or return it — either way, your device gets refurbished and re-circulated rather than sitting in a drawer or a landfill.
Why Subscribe Instead of Buy?
A phone subscription keeps your upfront cost low and your device current without the waste of the traditional buy-and-discard cycle. When your subscription ends, your device is refurbished and re-circulated rather than landfilled — Singapore generates around 60,000 tonnes of e-waste a year, and every device kept in circulation is one that doesn't add to that.
