Revolut, the global financial leader with over 3.4 million customers in Ireland and more than 80 million users worldwide has announced the launch of Revolut Mobile – with plans starting from just €9.99. For Irish consumers, Revolut Mobile redefines what users can expect from mobile connectivity. This comes off the back of LIDL Connect just launching recently
The first 25,000 customers to sign-up to Revolut Mobile can secure an introductory price of €9.99, or €12.99 per month for those thereafter.
This feature-packed mobile plan combines unlimited 5G-ready data, calls, and texts, as well as 20GB of data roaming across the UK and EEA.
Uniquely, Revolut Mobile also includes a Messaging Pass at no extra cost. This 1GB of additional low-speed data covers more than 120 non-EU countries worldwide and is designed for general-use and text messaging wherever users are, never leaving them without a connection.
In addition, Revolut Mobile customers can also redeem their RevPoints, earned through everyday spending via their Revolut Bank debit or credit card, for discounts. Customers can therefore shrink their bill by up to 100% – effectively removing one of their monthly expenses.
To provide a representative example, a customer on Revolut Bank’s Ultra plan, being billed the introductory €9.99 price, would need to spend approximately €1,400 a month to accrue sufficient RevPoints to cover their bill entirely, or roughly €1,800 at the €12.99 price point. In the other markets where Revolut Mobile is present, over a third of customers paid with RevPoints in September.
Furthermore, Revolut Mobile customers can either hold onto their existing number, change to a new one, or shop from a VIP range for that extra personal touch. Designed for separating work and personal life, there is also the option to hold multiple numbers across one plan – with up to three separate numbers available, costing from just an extra €2 per month.
Ultimately, Revolut Mobile challenges outdated industry trends by doing away with long-term contracts, annual mid-term price hikes, and hidden activation fees. The service can be managed end-to-end within the Revolut Bank app, giving customers total transparency and month-to-month flexibility – with no paperwork and the ability to cancel at any time.
Built in partnership with embedded connectivity leader Gigs, the service is activated in seconds from within the app, and provides fast, reliable coverage across Ireland and abroad.
As an additional perk, secure browsing with NordVPN is also included with plans at no extra cost – enabling Revolut Mobile customers to block ads, guard against malware, and get online with peace of mind.
Elyas Sadou, General Manager – Telecom at Revolut, said: “We are bringing the same challenger mindset to telecommunications that helped us transform digital banking. Mobile contracts in Ireland have – for too long – been burdened by lofty pricing, hidden fees, and rigid long-term commitments. Revolut Mobile changes that by delivering flexible, premium connectivity managed entirely within the Revolut Bank app — allowing customers to utilise the RevPoints they earn on everyday spending towards their mobile plan.”
Hermann Frank, Co-Founder & CEO at Gigs, added: “Over 80% of adults in Ireland already bank with Revolut. From today, the same app keeps them connected too. Combining money and mobile creates value neither could deliver alone. RevPoints earned on card payments cover the phone bill. Worldwide, fee-free spending and messaging are now the same product. Europe’s most powerful mobile experience is now at the fingertips of millions of Irish consumers.”
