Revolut launches eSIM, global data plans in Singapore

Singapore – Fintech company Revolut launches eSIMS and global data plans in Singapore to provide its customer with seamless connection when travelling. Revolut has collaborated with telecommunications company 1GLOBAL to launch the eSIM.

Offering coverage in over 100 countries, Revolut’s eSIM launch allows customers to stay connected cost-effectively, eliminating roaming charges.

Revolut customers can access the eSIM on compatible devices regardless of the plan they are on, enabling them to buy and activate it on the app. Since it is fully digital, the eSIM can be used along with other existing physical SIMs.

Additionally, it allows customers to use the Revolut app without mobile data, which means that they can top up data upon landing in a different country.

Data plans will range from 1GB to 100GB, with prices varying for each location. Customers can also choose among regional or global data plans, depending on their travel needs.

Revolut is also launching eSIMs in Australia, New Zealand, and Japan. 

Raymond Ng, chief executive officer at Revolut Singapore, commented, “At Revolut, we aim to simplify our customers’ lives and make things as easy and convenient for them as possible. This is exactly what our latest product, eSIMs, accomplishes. It offers seamless and cost-efficient access to mobile data, saving customers money and the hassle involved in organising and managing multiple physical SIM cards.”

“Whether you are in the US, Australia or Egypt, you can effortlessly secure a data plan with just a few taps on your phone, and then instantly share those breathtaking photos of your trip with friends and family. It’s a game-changer for people who love to travel internationally and it is built for the global citizen of today,” Ng added.

“By joining forces, Revolut can leverage 1GLOBAL’s worldwide mobile network and market leading eSIM platform to enhance their own international technological infrastructure. 1GLOBAL provides quick and secure mobile network connectivity in over 160 countries worldwide. Our eSIM technology integrates seamlessly into the existing Revolut app and can be installed on any eSIM-compatible mobile device in less than a minute,” Hakan Koç, founder and chief executive officer of 1GLOBAL, said.
