What a great video, I completely agree with what you said about esims being the future. I think it is very interesting for Revolut to get the Esims into their app. I think I won't use it for some time because of the higher prices, but it is never a bad thing to have some competition. Have a great weekend.
Hi Ward, thanks a lot, glad you enjoyed it. Absolutely eSim's are great, been living without physical sim for over 2 years and not looking back:) It's a great start of Revolut and I think, they will only improve their offering from here. If Ultra had the option to have unlimited data for a selected country every 30 days that would make it an irresistible offer for sure so hopefully they'll spice their offering up further in the future. Cheers and happy Easter ahead 👋
Always ahead of your competition Kai! Always with great information. Seen it yesterday on a post and i will be using it fairly soon to a trip in Thailand! Keep it up bud! 🎉🎉🎉
I know this question might not be related to this video but if an Airport has various lounges, can you choose the one you want or does dragos pass only allow me to one lounge?
Hi and good question and yes, you can choose from different airport lounges that are available and shown in the app and just pick the one you like the most. Most big airports will offer multiple which is great. Cheers
Hello Kai, thank you for the informative review. Do I switch off roaming on my original sim card before switching to Revolut esim? Will Revolut esim work with disactivated roaming of the original sim card?
Hey, glad you found the review helpful. Yes, it's a good idea to switch off roaming on your original SIM card before activating the Revolut eSIM, especially if you don’t want to incur roaming charges from your original provider. The Revolut eSIM will work independently, so even with roaming deactivated on your main SIM, the eSIM will still handle data. Cheers
Hi there, strange, try updating the app or reach out to their support team, sometimes not all countries are available right away, but will only be added gradually. Hope it works out 🤞 Cheers
Hi mate, really depends on you. For me it would not but I use a lot of data, so I would at least go for 20GB, but I know for others it may be enough. Cheers
Hi and thanks a lot 🙌 I haven't tried it but I am sure it works, worked for any esim I bought on the go so would be surprised if it didn't for Revolut. Cheers
Another great vid Kai! Thanks for the information and super feature from Revolut, but from my side I’m missing an unlimited plan option. Hopefully in the future 😊
Thanks a lot and my pleasure 🙌 100% agreed, unlimited plan would be epic they could let you choose one country of your choice instead of global option, I think global plan is not really relevant for most people, is not like you travel to 10 different countries in one month 😂 And then after 30 days it resets and you could choose another country if you wish. Cheers
ich bin so hin und her gerissen ob ich den Ultraplan nehmen soll. Würde gerne wissen ob die Versicherungen wirklich greifen und die Krankenversicherung Weltweit gilt oder auf die Reise beschränkt ist. Aber Diene Videos sind immer sehr informativ. liebe Grüße Marcus
Hallo und vielen Dank 🙏 Hab Ultra nun seit einem Jahr uns sehr happy damit. Hatte noch keine Versicherungsfall toi toi toi, aber laut dem Kleinprint sollte das schon passen aber kann dazu momentan nicht wirklich viel sagen. Davon abgesehen ist es das Geld in meinen Augen wert 👌 LG
Never tried but what I found online it seems that yes, you can obtain a receipt for your Revolut eSIM activation to facilitate company reimbursement for business travel expenses. To receive an invoice for your eSIM purchase, contact Revolut Support via the in-app chat. Cheers

Hi and as I mentioned in the video it does not come with a phone number. Other providers do offer that as well but for now Revolut only offer data, but if you have dual sim phone just keep your home sim active but disable data and only use this data, that way you have the best of both worlds. Cheers
@@SmartMoneywithKaiSorry, I missed that part. You mentioned other providers? Do you know their names offhand? I looked at Airalo and there is no phone number there either.
@@cuachristine Nomad offers SMS plans where you'll get a virtual SMS so you can get 2FA etc though not for calling sadly anymore, they seemed to have removed that.

This was really helpful - thank you! Can’t wait to try this out on my trip to the States next week!
Hi Sean, that's awesome to hear and my pleasure and yea, will come in handy for sure 👌 Safe travels 👋
Hi,this was the most informative and helpful video how to activate my esim !you the best,Kai !
Hi Justė, super happy to hear that, thanks a lot 🙏
What a helpful video - roaming charges are no more!
Thanks a lot and yes, that’s a great perk indeed 👌
Always ahead of your competition Kai! Always with great information. Seen it yesterday on a post and i will be using it fairly soon to a trip in Thailand! Keep it up bud! 🎉🎉🎉
Really appreciate that buddy and Thailand sounds fun and yes, that is definitely gonna come in handy 👌 Cheers and happy Easter 🐣😉👋
@@SmartMoneywithKai ah yes catholic easter! Enjoy my friend! I wait for orthodox easter in a month! Have a blessed holiday!

So happy to hear that, thank you 🙌
At 5.56 I don't have that button that says connect and my e Sim is downloaded but not working ... heeelp
Hi there, strange, try updating the app or reach out to their support team, sometimes not all countries are available right away, but will only be added gradually. Hope it works out 🤞 Cheers
Do we need to switch on for data roaming when finished buying eSIM for Europe?
Hi and yes, that's correct 👌
I’m going to New York next week from Ireland. Would the America €9.50 3gb be the one i chose and would it be enough?
Hi mate, really depends on you. For me it would not but I use a lot of data, so I would at least go for 20GB, but I know for others it may be enough. Cheers
Thank you Kai! And what about international calls? Do they need to be switched off as well?
My pleasure. Esim does not work for calls so I would switch it off and instead use whatsapp for calls or something like that to only use data 👌
Hello! I have a question. When I buy this e-sim I can sharing the hotspot for my friend ?
Hi and yes, you can do that 👌
@@SmartMoneywithKaiHello, I have a question because We don’t sharing hotspot IPhone to IPhone. It is possible?
You should be able to share hotspot 👌
What’s the pricing like in comparison to airlo I can get 20gb for America for 35 dollars
20GB for US €39 so I think better go with Airlo or Nomad 👌
Nice video, so Revolut Data can be use to talk with WhatsApp or any other app?
Hi, thanks a lot and yes, absolutely 👌
Hello. Really nice video. Thanks. How about using phone as a modem device? Is Revolute allowing this option?
Hi and thanks a lot 🙌 I haven't tried it but I am sure it works, worked for any esim I bought on the go so would be surprised if it didn't for Revolut. Cheers
@@SmartMoneywithKai thanks, i will try on this Friday in Phuket. I hope my little daughter will be happy 🤣🤣🤣
Nice, but be careful, only 3GB on Ultra plan, your daughter might burn through this data with TikTok or RUclips in no time 😂😂 Enjoy your trip 👋
@@SmartMoneywithKai i start from 50 gb 🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂👌
Do you need to turn roaming off for your Etisalat sim?
Hi and yes, I would recommend to do so to not incur extra charges aboard 👌
@@SmartMoneywithKai Thank you!

Awww. Thank you 🙏
Are you able to extract payment from this eSIM activation? In case of business trip and company refund request.
Never tried but what I found online it seems that yes, you can obtain a receipt for your Revolut eSIM activation to facilitate company reimbursement for business travel expenses. To receive an invoice for your eSIM purchase, contact Revolut Support via the in-app chat. Cheers

Love your revolut videos ❤ honestly best and most attractive online bank in all of Europe
Thanks a lot, really appreciate that 🙏
Is it available for Europeans? Or will be soon?
Hi Dylan and yes, it is already👌
Thank you so much 🙏
Most welcome and my pleasure 🙌
Do you get a phone number with it? To receive text messages
Hi and no, unfortunately only data. Cheers
Does the eSIM come with a phone number? Because if you need to 2FA, it will never work.

Sigh as always all the good features don't seem to be available for Irish accounts. No interest accounts , no esims , no proper borrowing lmfao.
Ah:( that's a shame, hope they'll get up to speed with that soon 🤞 Thanks for watching. Cheers
I just think a sim card is easy u pop it in and that's that.
That works, though personally I prefer esim's and most new phones will not have sims anymore in the future as it takes up unnecessary space. Cheers
Thank you very much. Aber du kannst besser deutsch sprechen. 😅
Thanks a lot, sure I speak German, but prefer English to reach a global audience 😉 LG 👋
Too long
Well noted, I'll turn it into a 15 second reel next time 😉
@@SmartMoneywithKai people have some crazy brain rot today, can't focus for 15mins 🤦♂
