Affordable Internet plans for delivery riders in Malaysia

For delivery riders in Malaysia, staying connected is a crucial part of the job — whether you're a rider for Grab, foodpanda, Shopee delivery, Lalamove, or any other e-hailing or p-hailing service.

Whether it’s navigating the city streets or communicating with customers, a reliable data connection can make all the difference.  Delivery riders require a data plan that supports their dynamic lifestyle.

Data plan checklist for delivery riders

When shopping for a new data plan for your smartphone, look out for the following:‍

1. Generous data

• Ensure you have enough data to manage orders and navigate routes without interruptions
• Aim for at least 10GB to 15GB to stay connected all day

2. Affordable pricing‍

• Maximize your earnings by picking a cost-effective plan.
• Skip unnecessary add-ons like games and music.
• Look for plans with the most high-speed data at the lowest cost.

3. Wide coverage

• Delivery routes can cover vast areas, sometimes hundreds of kilometers.
• Choose a provider with nationwide coverage to stay connected everywhere.

4. Flexibility

• Avoid plans that limit data usage to weekends or specific times.
• Find plans that fit your varying work hours and data needs.

5. Free devices/device bundles

• Look for plans offering free or discounted devices.
• Carry two devices: one for work (deliveries and navigation) and one for personal use.
• This way, your personal use won’t drain your work device’s battery, and vice versa.
