How a Cinch subscription compares
A telco bundle ties the device to a long-term line contract. With Cinch, the device comes on its own subscription, with no line contract, and every fee is shown before you confirm.

Why we do it
Every device gets more than one life
Almost all of a phone’s environmental cost is paid before you switch it on. Manufacturing accounts for the large majority of a device’s lifetime carbon footprint, which means the most useful thing anyone can do with a working phone is keep it working and keep it in use.
Subscription only works if devices come back. When yours does, we wipe it, repair it and put it back into circulation for the next subscriber. Recycling is the last resort, not the plan.
By the numbers
- 70–90%
- of a phone’s lifetime carbon footprint comes from manufacturing, not from using it.
- 60,000t
- of e-waste is generated in Singapore each year, around 70 mobile phones per person.
- 22.3%
- of the 62 million tonnes of e-waste generated worldwide in 2022 was formally collected and recycled.

Common questions
Choose a device, a term and your plan, pass a quick eligibility check, and we deliver it. Delivery is included. At the end of the term, you upgrade, swap, return or keep it.
A subscription includes the device and the service around it: delivery, a choice of plan for repairs, and a return route. A rental is the hardware alone for a fixed period.
Neither. You subscribe to the device for a fixed term and pay a monthly fee to use it. There’s no loan and no balance to pay off. At the end of your term, you can hand it back, upgrade or keep it. Your buyout price is always shown in your account.
Residents aged 18 and over with a valid ID and a local billing address. A credit check applies.
