Singtel has launched a new digital inclusion initiative, to Pay-It-Forward and Pass-It-On, with Singtel’s Donate Your Data Programme to Seniors in need. This is to bridge the digital gap for seniors and provide them with free data to access the internet and stay connected with family members and friends. They are starting with its all-digital mobile brand, GOMO, Singtel customers can now donate their data to seniors conveniently via the GOMO mobile app. This Donate Your Data programme, which will eventually be extended to other Singtel mobile customers, complements Singtel’s Digital Silvers workshops to empower the elderly to go digital.<\/p>\n
For this pilot launch, Singtel is partnering with NTUC Health. Singtel will consolidate the donated data into prepaid hi! SIM cards to be distributed to vulnerable seniors across their 13 Senior Activity Centres. Singtel is going to expand the reach of this initiative, they aim to scale up the programme to reach 10,000 seniors and needy beneficiaries across more social service agencies.<\/p>\n
