Revolut takes a new step forward in the world of financial technology and telecommunications by launching eSIMs and global data plans for its over 3 million customers in Italy.
This innovation allows users to stay connected anywhere in the world, eliminating the dreaded roaming costs and ensuring a stable and affordable connection in over 100 countries.
The service, available from July 31, 2025, marks a turning point for those who travel frequently and wish to manage their mobile connectivity in a simple and transparent way.
Revolut eSIM: the smart solution for data abroad
The new eSIM Revolut can be easily installed on any compatible device, both Apple and Android, without the need to download additional applications or replace the physical SIM. Once activated, the eSIM can be used alongside the traditional SIM, allowing users to switch from one operator to another with a simple touch and without interruptions. This means that customers can top up their data plan at any time and from anywhere in the world, without worrying about losing connection.
Custom data plans and competitive prices
Revolut offers a range of flexible data plans, with prices starting from 1.50 euros for 1 GB, available for over 100 global destinations. Users can choose from packages ranging from 1 GB up to 20 GB, thus adapting to the needs of every type of traveler. Additionally, both regional and global plans are available, to cover multiple countries with a single solution. All Revolut customers with compatible devices can access the service, regardless of the subscribed tariff plan.
An exclusive advantage for Ultra clients
For those who choose the Ultra plan of Revolut, an exclusive advantage is provided: 3 GB of mobile data per month to use in over 100 countries, with automatic monthly updates. An opportunity designed for those who travel frequently and want to avoid surprises on their bill, especially considering that mobile data costs abroad have increased in recent years, particularly outside of Europe.
Traveling Connected: the Response to the New Habits of Italians
According to the Global Travel Spending Report by Revolut, Italians are expanding their travel horizons. In addition to traditional European destinations, destinations such as United States, United Arab Emirates, Argentina, Sri Lanka, Japan, Southeast Asia, and some areas of Latin America are growing. This trend makes it even more important to rely on a reliable and affordable data connection, without having to face the prohibitive costs of international roaming.
A complete ecosystem for the modern traveler
The launch of eSIM fits into an ecosystem of services that Revolut offers to its customers while traveling. From booking accommodation through the Stays feature, to accessing lounges in over 1,000 airports, to emergency medical and dental coverage for Premium, Metal, and Ultra plans (according to specific terms and conditions). Users can also enjoy tourist experiences, tours, and attractions, and benefit from currency exchange at competitive rates in over 30 currencies. Now, with the eSIM, the peace of mind of traveling without hidden costs is complete.
The strategy of Revolut: Expansion in the telecommunications sector
The launch of eSIMs represents the latest step in Revolut’s expansion into the telecommunications sector. After revolutionizing the banking world with transparent and flexible digital services, the global fintech now aims to bring the same innovation to mobile connectivity. Recently, Revolut also announced the launch of mobile plans in Europe, with the goal of offering greater transparency, flexibility, and an improved customer experience.
A product designed to simplify life
Elyas Sadou, Product Owner eSIM at Revolut, emphasizes how technology serves simplicity:
“Our eSIM offers seamless access to mobile data, eliminating the inconvenience of high prices or the need to purchase and organize a physical SIM card. Whether they are in the United States, Australia, or Egypt, our customers can easily obtain a data plan with a few taps on their phone and instantly share breathtaking photos of their journey with friends and family. It’s a bull for those who love to travel.”
How it works: technical details and conditions
The Revolut eSIMs are compatible with most of the latest generation Apple and Android smartphones (4G/5G) and can be installed directly from the Revolut app (version 10.14 or higher). No additional hardware or replacement of the physical SIM is necessary: everything happens in a few steps, making access to mobile data immediate and hassle-free.
Conditions and availability
The service is available for all adult customers with the latest version of the Revolut app. The data plan prices vary depending on the destination and the volume of traffic chosen, with the possibility to cover individual countries or entire regions. The mobile connectivity services (eSIM and tariff plans) are offered by Revolut Ltd, while the banking services are provided by Revolut Bank UAB, an authorized and regulated European bank.
