But Monzo, not unlike Revolut, benefits from being able to promote this service to an already well-established customer base (14 million of them) \u2013 alongside some unique incentives.<\/p>\n<p>At present the <a href=\"https:\/\/monzo.com\/mobile\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Monzo Mobile<\/a> page is still only showing a Wait-list option for joining, albeit alongside a summary of three mobile plans: \u00a38 a month for 10GB (GigaBytes) of data, \u00a312 for 30GB and \u00a320 for unlimited data. Each plan also includes unlimited calls and texts, Hotspot support, Wi-Fi Calling and the ability to switch plans or cancel anytime.<\/p>\n<p>The \u00a312 tier also adds 10GB of EU roaming (plus in 11 other countries) and 60 international minutes (monthly), with the 10GB of EU roaming being ramped up to 25GB on their \u00a320 plan. But in terms of that claim to &#8220;<em>reward<\/em>&#8221; loyalty, the service promises to reduce the price that customers pay for their monthly rental by &#8220;<em>5% off each year with up to 30% off over time.
