Circles.Life also revealed via its social media platforms that they were the mastermind behind this.

The marketing stunt was launched to promote the virtual telco’s unlimited mobile data daily add-on for $3 service, where with a basic plan of $28 a month that comes with 6GB of mobile data, users can subscribe to the $3-a-day add-on on days they need unlimited mobile data.
