Revolut Enters Irish Mobile Market with €9.99 5G Offer, Intensifying Telecom Competition

Dublin: Leading fintech company Revolut is preparing to enter Ireland’s mobile telecommunications market, adding further competition to an already competitive sector. The move follows the recent launch of mobile services in Ireland by German supermarket chain Lidl, signalling growing interest from non-traditional players in the country’s telecom industry.

Revolut is introducing a contract-free 5G mobile service, with an introductory monthly rate of €9.99 for the first 25,000 customers. After the promotional offer ends, the monthly subscription will cost €12.99. The service will operate using Vodafone’s mobile network.

eSIM connectivity and unlimited data

Customers will be able to activate the service through an eSIM directly via the Revolut app, eliminating the need for a physical SIM card.

The package includes unlimited mobile data in Ireland, along with 20GB of roaming data for use in the United Kingdom and European Economic Area (EEA) countries.

It will also include a feature called the ‘Messaging Pass’, offering an additional 1GB of data at reduced speeds in more than 120 countries outside the European Union.

Customers can use RevPoints to pay mobile bills

Revolut has also announced that customers will be able to use its loyalty programme, RevPoints, to cover part or all of their monthly mobile bills.

Customers accumulate reward points through eligible spending on their Revolut cards. However, using points to pay the entire €12.99 monthly subscription could require substantial spending.

According to the company’s reward calculations, customers on the Ultra plan would need to spend approximately €1,800 per month using their Revolut card to earn enough points to cover the full mobile bill. The Ultra subscription itself costs up to €60 per month.
