After leaving its mark on the banking sector, Revolut is now tackling the telecommunications market with a promising mobile offer. In collaboration with Gigs, a virtual operator, Revolut offers mobile plans in the UK and Poland. But will the company be able to establish itself as easily in France, where competition is already fierce?
The 3 key points not to miss
- Revolut launched its first mobile plans in the UK and Poland, in partnership with Gigs.
- The plans include calls, SMS, data, and roaming, and are offered at a competitive rate.
- In France, competition could limit the impact of Revolut’s offer on the market.
A new telephony offer
Since December 2025, Revolut has been offering its first mobile phone plans in the UK and Poland. Unlike travel eSIMs, the offer includes a phone number, calls, SMS, as well as access to data and roaming. This initiative is part of a partnership with Gigs, a virtual operator that uses the network of other operators.
An attractive price for the UK market
In the UK, Revolut offers its plan at 14.99 pounds per month, with a promotion at 12.50 pounds for the first subscribers. In euros, this is equivalent to approximately 17 and 14 euros respectively, making it a very affordable option for consumers. Additionally, subscribers can pay for their plan with RevPoints, points accumulated through purchases with the Revolut card.
A challenge in France
In France, the context is different. Since the arrival of Free Mobile in 2012, plan prices have dropped significantly. Today, it is common to find offers under 10 euros per month from operators like Red by SFR, B&You, Sosh, or Free. Unlimited 5G is still rare, but plans including 5G data are widely accessible.
Potential repercussions in Europe
In many European countries, where plan prices are high, Revolut’s offer could disrupt the market. By targeting countries with plans costing between 30 and 60 euros per month, Revolut hopes to encourage other operators to lower their prices to remain competitive. However, the company will face fierce competition and some technological limitations.
