Revolut has launched a new mobile service in the UK market, promising significant savings for consumers looking to switch providers. The service, named Revolut Mobile, offers unlimited 5G data, calls, and texts for just £12.50 per month, making it a highly competitive option compared to existing plans from major networks like EE and Vodafone, which charge £25 monthly for similar packages.
One standout feature of the Revolut deal is the inclusion of 20GB of roaming data across the EU and the United States at no extra cost, a benefit that appeals especially to frequent travelers. This means users can enjoy seamless connectivity in cities such as Paris, Berlin, New York, and Los Angeles without incurring additional charges, unlike many other UK networks that still impose roaming fees, especially for US travel.
Revolut Mobile also provides global messaging through its Messaging Pass, offering low-bandwidth data for messaging in over 80 countries using platforms like WhatsApp. Additionally, users can link up to three phone numbers to a single plan, simplifying the management of work, personal, and travel lines. As an added bonus, every subscription includes a complimentary NordVPN membership for secure and private browsing.
The service is currently being rolled out to customers on the waitlist, with full public availability anticipated by January 2026. While Revolut’s foray into the mobile market is ambitious, industry experts caution that success is not guaranteed. Paolo Pescatore, an analyst, emphasizes the importance of strong execution in combining banking services with mobile connectivity and warns against assuming easy customer switching in the highly competitive MVNO market.
Despite the challenges ahead, Revolut is confident in its ability to compete with established networks like EE, Vodafone, and O2. Hadi Nasrallah, General Manager of Telco at Revolut, expressed the company’s commitment to offering a distinct alternative in the market, stating that Revolut Mobile aims to disrupt the industry by providing innovative features, transparent pricing, and a superior user experience.
