Customers of banking and money management app Revolut, which last year launched a limited eSIM based mobile service for roaming travellers (here), has today revealed that they intend to go further by launching a full domestic mobile service for UK consumers with unlimited calls, texts, and data (mobile broadband) at home.
According to a new post on X today (here), which was spotted by members of ISPreview’s forum (here), the new service will shortly be launching in both Germany and the UK. The initial plan is said to offer no fixed contract (this usually means a monthly 30-day term), “superfast” 5G connectivity, inclusive EU roaming, eSIM support, unlimited calls, texts, and data – all for just £12.50 a month.
The exact launch date is not yet known, although £12.50 per month seems absurdly cheap for a plan with unlimited data (we suspect this may be a limited introductory discount to drive early interest). The cheapest plans in this class often come from Three UK’s virtual operators (MVNO), such as iD Mobile and Smarty, which usually cost c.£16 per month. But Revolut has not yet revealed which operator they’re going to be working with.
The new service will be very much an eSIM-only proposition, and those with an interest can sign-up via their waiting list (you’ll need to be an existing Revolut customer for this).
