As part of the memorandum of understanding the two companies inked, Go-Jek driver partners who subscribe to a Singtel Combo plan would be able to use their Go-Jek apps data-free. Drivers would also get a 20% discount on Singtel Combo plans, as well as complimentary caller-ID services.
The new benefits are part of Go-Jek’s plans to lower operating costs for its driver partners. They are also part of GoalBetter, the startup’s benefits program, which also features insurance, medical teleconsultation, and fuel rebates.
In exchange, new and existing customers of Singtel’s latest all-digital mobile plan GOMO (Get Out More Often) will also be able to avail of Go-Jek ride-hailing credits.
The two entities said more information on the partnership would be announced at a later date.
Go-Jek officially launched its ride-hailing app in Singapore, the home turf of rival Grab, back in November of last year. It then pushed further into the market by announcing a partnership with local consumer-to-consumer marketplace Carousell earlier this year.
