Revolut launches Irish mobile plans with €9.99 offer

Revolut launched monthly mobile phone plans in Ireland on 9 November, entering a market where the fintech company already has around 3.4 million users, according to RTÉ and TheJournal.ie. RTÉ reported the launch; the service offers a temporary lower monthly price and runs on Vodafone’s network.

• The first 25,000 customers can pay €9.99 a month; the standard price is €12.99.
• The service is provided through an eSIM in the Revolut app, with unlimited data in Ireland and 20GB of UK and EEA roaming data.
• TheJournal.ie says the introductory price ends when 25,000 customers sign up or on 31 January 2027, whichever comes first.

How Revolut Mobile works in Ireland

RTÉ reported that Revolut Mobile uses Vodafone’s network and is delivered through an eSIM managed in the Revolut app. TheJournal.ie describes an eSIM as a digital SIM that removes the need for a physical card. Its report says the plan includes unlimited 5G data subject to fair use, as well as unlimited calls and texts; RTÉ describes unlimited data in Ireland. The reports list 20GB of roaming data in the UK and European Economic Area.

RTÉ says the service also includes a Messaging Pass with 1GB of additional low-speed data in more than 120 countries outside the EU. Revolut says customers can use RevPoints earned through card spending to offset some or all of their mobile bill. RTÉ calculated that a customer on Revolut’s Ultra plan, which costs up to €60 a month, would need to spend around €1,800 monthly to earn enough points to cover a €12.99 bill.

What Revolut says the launch means

TheJournal.ie reports that Revolut Mobile was already available in the UK, Poland, Germany and the Netherlands. The company runs the service in partnership with Gigs, a mobile services operating system, the outlet said. Its report puts Revolut’s Irish user base at around 3.4 million.

A Revolut spokesperson told TheJournal.ie that the plan would avoid long-term contracts, annual mid-term price rises and hidden activation fees, which the company described as outdated industry practices. Revolut telecom general manager Elyas Sadou told the outlet the company was bringing its “challenger mindset” from digital banking to telecommunications.

For customers, the launch adds an app-managed mobile option with a limited introductory rate and roaming allowance. The introductory price is capped by the first 25,000 sign-ups or the stated January deadline, whichever comes earlier.
