Revolut Launches 5G Mobile Plans
Revolut entered the Irish mobile-phone network market with monthly 5G plans running on the Vodafone network, rte.ie reported. The non-contract offering costs €9.99 per month for the first 25,000 customers who sign up before rising to €12.99.
The service operates via eSIM through the Revolut app. It includes unlimited data in Ireland alongside 20GB of roaming data in the UK and EEA.
Messaging Pass and Data Features
Revolut Mobile includes a ‘Messaging Pass’. This feature gives users 1GB of additional low-speed data in over 120 non-EU countries, according to rte.ie.
Customers can use RevPoints to offset some or all of the cost of their monthly mobile services. RevPoints are awarded based on card spending levels through the bank’s loyalty programme.
Customers on the bank’s Ultra plan, which costs up to €60 per month, would need to spend around €1,800 each month to accumulate enough RevPoints to cover their entire €12.99 monthly bill, rte.ie reported.
Market Expansion and Prior Launches
The rollout follows a similar move from German supermarket chain Lidl last month, rte.ie reported.
Mobile virtual network offerings continue to expand across Ireland as non-traditional brands enter the telecoms sector.
