Revolut entered the Irish mobile market on Monday 9 November with a €9.99 monthly eSIM plan. The launch price is open to the first 25,000 customers or until 31 January 2027, whichever comes first. The advertised standard price is €12.99. Before moving your number, check the price and allowances offered to you in the app. Launch details and comments from Revolut and Gigs
Start with the bill you actually pay
If your SIM-only bill is €20 a month, the €9.99 price leaves €10.01 a month in your pocket. At €12.99 the difference is €7.01 a month. Over 12 months at those respective rates, the savings would be €120.12 or €84.12, assuming the same usage, no extra services and no exit charge. Someone already paying €10 would save just one cent a month on the launch price.
An early exit fee can change the decision. If leaving your current provider costs €60 and you save €10.01 a month, it takes six months to recover that fee. At €7.01 a month it takes nine. If your bill includes handset repayments or a discount on home broadband, check how much you would still owe after switching. Use the savings goal calculator if you plan to put the monthly difference aside.
Check your phone, coverage and billing date
The service uses Vodafone’s Irish network. The plan includes domestic calls, texts and data subject to fair use, with 20GB of roaming data in the UK and European Economic Area. A customer who regularly travels outside that area should check the specific destination and allowance before relying on their Irish plan. Launch coverage · Gigs acceptable use policy
Under Revolut’s Irish conditions of sale, Gigs Wireless IE Ltd provides the service and Revolut sells it through the app. An unlocked, eSIM-compatible handset is essential. Read the contract summary shown before purchase and check coverage where you live and work before transferring your existing number.
The contract rolls monthly. The first fee is paid upfront and later fees are collected seven days before renewal. If you cancel after the initial 14-day withdrawal period, cancellation ordinarily takes effect at the end of the billing cycle. For someone paid monthly, that collection date is worth putting beside payday before switching.
