Singtel launches data-free streaming with Apple Music

It will be available to postpaid customers for a fee of $9.98 a month.

Singtel will start offering data-free streaming with Apple Music for its postpaid customers at a subscription fee of $9.98 per month.

According to an announcement, new and re-contracting customers who sign up for the service will have six months subscription absolutely free with no minimum contract.

Apple Music offers subscribers an incredible catalogue of more than 45 million songs, combined with their entire iTunes library, which consumers can stream or download for offline listening all completely ad-free.

Singtel’s data-free Apple Music is available on iOS and Android devices, including Apple Watch Series 3.

Singtel and other telcos in Singapore are finding ways to regain market share that they are currently losing to mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs) like Circles .Life, which has started to offer $0 plans. It expects “unexciting” earnings growth ahead as consolidated revenue could grow by low single digit.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
