Love and telco, you can have it all

As creators of both mobile plans and other lifestyle products that are designed to delight customers, we always start with people first. Understanding how Aussies are using their phones, and what they value, is the key to designing products that they love and recommend. We recently undertook some research and uncovered some remarkable things.

What did Circles find?

We really love our phones and we’re pretty dependent on them for just about everything. More than ½ of Aussies say they couldn’t go without their phone for a single day, increasingly relying on them as mobile functionality replaces things (like your wallet and keys) with mobile integrations.

In true Aussie spirit, we got a lot of honesty with 61% of Australians admitted to taking a call or selfie on the toilet; 41% have accidentally screenshotted a conversation and sent it back to the same person; 37% have called or texted an ex while intoxicated and 26% have texted or sent a risqué picture to the wrong person.

Some of the more interesting data found some differences along gender lines with Women more likely to sacrifice sex for a week rather than their phone for a day (37% compared to 27% men). Men, on the other hand, were more willing to forgo personal hygiene than be without their phone; for example brushing their teeth (15% compared to 8% women) or showering (12% compared to 7% women).

Sadly though, Aussies are feeling the pinch when it comes to the cost of telco. Australians pay an average of $63 a month for their mobile phone/data plan, and when asked about phone bills, more than a third feel their phone bill is too high. Half (50%) of those surveyed have considered switching carriers because of cost of living pressures, and 68% are tired of phone plans getting more expensive each year.

So what is Circles doing about it?

As we fast approach Valentine’s Day, our data suggests that love around the nation could be in trouble with the cost of living potentially forcing people to choose between having a shower, or brushing their teeth and their mobile plans - not with Circles Life. Because of our unbelievable savings, you can have your mobile plan with heaps of data and maintain your personal hygiene. We’re calling it, Love and Telco and we’re inviting consumers to fall in love with a Circles Life mobile plan.
