Revolut has announced it is launching mobile plans in Ireland starting from €9.99 per month.

Created in partnership with mobile virtual network operator Gigs, Revolut Mobile will offer 5G data, calls and texts as well as 20GB of data roaming across the UK and EEA.

The fintech, which was valued at $115bn after its latest fundraising round last week, said the introductory price will be available to the first 25,000 customers or until 31 January, whichever occurs sooner.

Thereafter, the price will rise to €12.99 per month for new customers. The launch comes shortly after Lidl similarly launched a mobile service on the Eir network for an initial €8.99 per month.

Revolut Mobile users will also be able to use points earned through the RevPoints loyalty programme to reduce or clear their bill.

So a customer on Revolut Bank’s Ultra plan who spends €1,400 per month will be able to wipe out their €9.99 Revolut Mobile bill or €1,800 to clear the €12.99 cost.

The company said that more than a third of customers in other markets where Revolut Mobile has been introduced used RevPoints to clear their mobile bill.

Revolut Mobile customers will have the option to keep their existing mobile number, change to a new one of select one from a “VIP range”.

For an extra €2 per month, users can have multiple numbers to separate work and personal life, for instance.

Revolut has said the service does away with long-term contracts, annual mid-term price hikes and hidden activation fees, and that it can be managed end-to-end within the Revolut Bank app.

NordVPN is also included in the plan at no additional cost.

“We are bringing the same challenger mindset to telecommunications that helped us transform digital banking,” said Elyas Sadou, general manager of telecom at Revolut.

“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.”
