Through this collaboration, Evernote and StarHub will offer a complimentary one-year Evernote Premium subscription (valued at S$58) to all re-contracting and new StarHub Mobile post-paid customers.

Eligible customers who are Evernote Premium users can make use of this offer to extend their subscription by an additional year.

Of Evernote's existing 66 million users worldwide, over 400,000 are based in Singapore, making Singapore one of Evernote's most successful markets in terms of market penetration. In Singapore, StarHub has a mobile customer base of 2.249 million in total.

StarHub is one of most innovative telcos in the region, and we are thrilled to enter this partnership with them, said Mr Ken Gullicksen, Chief Operating Officer, Evernote. By giving subscribers the ability to ubiquitously capture, access, and discover everything that's important to them, this partnership will chart the course for evolving mobile experiences for a new generation of consumers in Singapore. Southeast Asia is highly important for us, especially with the explosive growth in the online population here that has overtaken the rest of the world.

Recognising that tech-savvy consumers rely heavily on digital services to stay organised on-the-go, we are pleased to partner Evernote, offering our customers a powerful platform to easily maintain round-the-clock access to their memories.
