BT Explores Low-Cost Mobile Brand Amid Revolut and Monzo's Ambitions

In a move that could shake up the UK's telecommunications landscape, BT Group is reportedly considering launching a low-cost mobile brand, with the aim of competing with fintech giants like Revolut and Monzo.

As the telecoms giant seeks to stay competitive in a market increasingly dominated by virtual network operators (VNOS), which have seen their share of the mobile market grow from 16.5% last year to an expected 20% or more in the coming years, BT is thought to be weighing its options for entering this lucrative space.

Revolut and Monzo, both known for their innovative fintech offerings, recently announced plans to launch mobile services that will not only provide a new revenue stream but also put pressure on traditional incumbent operators like EE. The fintech firms' entry into the market signals a shift in consumer behavior, with younger generations increasingly expecting seamless connectivity across different devices and platforms.

Meanwhile, BT is reportedly considering expanding its use of the BT brand for broadband services to attract older customers who may be less familiar with its newer EE and Plusnet offerings. However, this strategy could also be a way for the company to tap into a new market segment without significantly altering its core mobile business.

The plan to launch a low-cost mobile brand is said to have the backing of BT Group's chief executive, Allison Kirkby, and Indian billionaire Sunil Bharti Mittal, who recently became the largest shareholder in the company. However, a spokesperson for BT has dismissed reports of such plans, stating that there are currently no intentions to change its mobile offering.

With the UK's mobile market continuing to evolve, BT's consideration of launching a low-cost brand raises questions about its strategic priorities and how it will navigate the increasingly competitive landscape.
 
btu i think bt is stuck in the past with ee and plusnet, they need to think outside the box and create something new and innovative like revolut and monzo, who are totally disrupting the fintech game 🤑📈 their low-cost mobile brand could be a great way to attract more customers, especially younger ones who are all about affordable options and seamless connectivity 💻💸
 
I gotta say, I'm kinda intrigued by this move from BT 🤔. I mean, if they're serious about entering the low-cost mobile game, that's gotta be a pretty big shake-up for Revolut and Monzo. Those fintech guys have already changed the game with their innovative services... now it's gonna be interesting to see how they stack up against these telecom giants 💥. But at the same time, I'm also a bit concerned about the potential disruption it could cause in our phone bills 📊. Maybe BT just wants to stay ahead of the curve and adapt to changing consumer habits? Either way, I think we're gonna have some fun watching this play out 😂📱
 
I'm low-key thinking BT should just go for it 🤔! They've got the resources and expertise to create something amazing 💥, especially with their big-name backing from Sunil Bharti Mittal 🙌. Revolut and Monzo are making waves in the fintech space, but I think a budget-friendly mobile brand could be a game-changer for BT 📈. It'd be awesome if they could tap into that 'value-for-money' vibe and attract some new customers 👍. Plus, with more people getting on board with the whole 'seamless connectivity across devices' thing 💻, it's about time traditional operators got in on the action 🔊! Let's see what happens 🤗 #BT #LowCostMobile #Revolut #Monzo #Fintech
 
idk why bt would wanna get into this rn... dont they already have ee and plusnet? 🤔 but i guess if they wanna compete with revolut and monzo, they gotta try something new lol 🤑 maybe launching a low-cost brand is a good idea if it means they can bring in more customers who are looking for cheaper options 👍 but on the other hand, dont wanna confuse their customers with multiple brands tho 🤦‍♂️ think they should focus on improving their existing services first instead of jumping into a new market that's super competitive 💸
 
🤔 So I'm wondering if BT is trying to play catch-up with Revolut and Monzo? Like, I get it, they're fintech giants and all that jazz, but can't our telecoms giant just chill and be its awesome self? 😅 On the other hand, a low-cost mobile brand could be super beneficial for older folks who aren't exactly tech-savvy. Maybe BT's onto something here... 📈 I mean, who doesn't love a good bargain, right? 💸
 
The more things change, the more they stay the same 🤔. Like, seriously though, another big player trying to get into the game with a low-cost mobile brand... it's like déjà vu all over again. I mean, Revolut and Monzo are already making waves in this space, so now BT wants a piece of the pie? It's not surprising, considering how much more affordable these new entrants are compared to the likes of EE 🤑.

I think what's interesting is that BT is trying to appeal to an older demographic with its broadband services. That's some clever thinking right there! But at the same time, it's also a bit of a risk - if they can't compete on price and features, will people even care? 💸

It'll be fascinating to see how this all plays out. Will BT succeed in carving out its own niche, or will it just end up getting squeezed out by these fintech giants? Only time will tell 🕰️
 
I'm like "what's next for BT?" 🤔 They need to think outside the box on this one. Low-cost mobile could be a game changer, especially if they can get it right. I mean, Revolut and Monzo are killing it in the fintech space already, so why not bring some of that innovation to their mobile offerings? But at the same time, you gotta wonder if it's all just a publicity stunt 📣. I'm low-key hoping they'll make this happen tho 👀.
 
I just got back from the most random trip to the zoo and saw this adorable little penguin playing with some seaweed 🐧🌿. Got me thinking, have you guys ever noticed how penguins always seem so chill? I mean, they're basically swimming around in freezing temperatures all day, but they still manage to look like they're having the time of their lives 😂. Anyway, back to mobile plans... I don't know if BT should bother trying to compete with those fintech firms or not. It's all about who can offer the best value for money, right? Maybe they could focus on expanding their broadband services instead? Or maybe I'm just overthinking this whole thing 🤔
 
I'm like "really" surprised if they actually go through with this plan 🤔... I mean, Revolut and Monzo are killing it in the fintech space already 💸 and adding mobile services on top of that is a big move. But at the same time, BT has a huge customer base and its brand is still super recognizable, so if they can make their low-cost option competitive, it could be a game changer for them 📈. I'd love to see how they balance staying true to their customers with trying to keep up with the fintech giants 👀...
 
The emergence of BT's potential entry into the low-cost mobile space is an intriguing development that highlights the evolving dynamics of the UK telecoms industry 📈💰. As Revolut and Monzo continue to disrupt the market with their innovative fintech offerings, it will be interesting to see how BT navigates this new landscape without compromising its core business. The strategic move to tap into a new market segment using the BT brand for broadband services could prove to be a double-edged sword – it may help attract older customers while also altering the company's fundamental mobile strategy 📊👥.
 
🤔 I think this is a super interesting move by BT, you know? Like, they're recognizing that the traditional way of doing things isn't working anymore and they need to adapt. The whole low-cost mobile thing could be a game-changer for them, especially if they can get it right.

I mean, Revolut and Monzo are like total disruptors in the fintech space, and they've already shown that people are willing to switch to these newer, more innovative players. So, if BT can create something that's actually better than what EE is offering (which let's be real, isn't exactly setting the world on fire), then they might just find a way to attract some of those customers.

But, at the same time, I think this could also be a bit of a risk for them. Like, if they launch this new brand and it doesn't take off, that could hurt their reputation and make it harder for them to compete in the long run. So, they need to get it just right and make sure it's something that's actually going to work.

And I'm curious to see how they're going to position this new brand - are they going to try to target a specific demographic or something? Will it be like a super-low-cost option for people who really can't afford the regular prices, or will it be more of a mid-range offering that tries to find a sweet spot in between?

It's all just speculation at this point, but one thing's for sure - BT needs to innovate if they want to stay relevant in this rapidly changing market! 📈
 
🤔 I'm so done with these big corporations trying to disrupt each other! First Revolut, now Monzo, and next BT is gonna throw their hat into the ring... what's wrong with them?! 🤑 They're all just trying to make a buck off our hard-earned cash. And for what? So they can say they offer cheaper plans and call it a day? 😒 Give me a break! I'm not buying (pun intended) what these guys are selling. Can't they just focus on giving us good service instead of trying to outdo each other? 🤦‍♂️
 
🤑 think they're gonna try to steal revolut's thunder with some cheap mobile plans 📱 but tbh i'm not sure if bt can pull it off... their customer service is still pretty meh 😒 and i don't see them being able to compete on price without sacrificing quality. plus, monzo and revolut have been building such strong brands over the years, it's hard for new entrants like bt to just swoop in and take market share 💸 might be worth keeping an eye on though...
 
Ugh, I'm so tired of these big companies trying to one-up each other 🤯! Like, can't they just focus on making good services for us instead of competing with everyone else? 🤑 I mean, Revolut and Monzo are already doing some pretty cool stuff with their mobile apps and whatnot... but do we really need another low-cost brand to add to the mix? 📱

And what's up with BT trying to appeal to older customers by expanding its broadband services? Like, isn't that just a way of saying "we're not sure how to compete" 🤦‍♂️? I mean, if you want to reach an older audience, can't you just make your existing services more user-friendly instead of launching a whole new brand? 🤔

But, at the same time... I guess it's kinda cool that they're thinking outside the box and trying to innovate 🌟. Maybe this low-cost mobile brand thing will actually work out and bring some much-needed competition to the UK's telecoms landscape 📈. We'll just have to wait and see how it all plays out! 🤔
 
OMG, this is so crazy! 🤯 I mean, can you imagine having to pay even less for your phone bill? £5-£10 a month sounds like a dream come true, right? 😂 But seriously, if BT does go ahead with launching a low-cost mobile brand, it could be a game-changer. I'd love to see them offering some sick deals, especially for older folks who are always getting ripped off by the big players. Plus, it's about time someone gave Revolut and Monzo a run for their money! 💸 The fintech firms might have innovative services, but at the end of the day, people just want cheap phone bills and decent coverage, you know? 😎
 
🤔 I gotta say, this is like something out of a movie where you got these giants trying to one-up each other 😂. Like, Revolut and Monzo are already shaking things up with their fintech games, and now BT wants in on the action? 🤑 It's gonna be interesting to see how they play it cool while trying to stay ahead of the curve.

I mean, can you imagine having a low-cost mobile brand from BT? It's like having a "TARDIS" - on the outside, it looks like a regular phone bill, but inside, it's all fancy and innovative 📱. But for real though, how are they planning to compete with these fintech firms that are already making waves in the industry? 💸

It's also a bit of a mystery why they're considering this move - is it just about staying competitive, or is there something else going on? 🤐 Whatever it is, one thing's for sure: BT's gotta bring its A-game if they wanna shake off those fintech giants and stay relevant in the market 💪.
 
I gotta say, I'm kinda excited about this news 🤔. As someone who's had their fair share of issues with roaming charges in the past, I think it'd be awesome to have a low-cost mobile brand from a big player like BT. It could make things a lot more affordable for people like me who just want to stay connected without breaking the bank 💸. And with Revolut and Monzo already making waves in the fintech space, I'm curious to see how BT's entry into the market will shake things up 🔄. Maybe it'll even put some pressure on those guys to come up with more innovative solutions? 😏 Either way, it's definitely worth keeping an eye on – we might just see a game-changer in the UK mobile landscape! 👀
 
🤔 I'm kinda surprised they're not jumping on this sooner! With Revolut and Monzo already making waves in the fintech space, it'd be a huge missed opportunity for BT to launch a low-cost mobile brand. 📈 I mean, think about it - you've got two major players in the fintech space already disrupting traditional telecoms, and now we're hearing rumors that BT wants to jump on the bandwagon too? 🔄 It's like they're trying to stay relevant, but are they going to be able to compete with these newer entrants? 🤔 I guess only time will tell! 👀
 
just heard this news about bt considering a low cost mobile brand 🤑💸 and i gotta say, i'm super excited! think it'll be awesome if they can make affordable internet for everyone 💻👍 especially with revolut and monzo already trying to disrupt the market 🔄.btw, cant wait to see what kind of features they'll include in their new mobile plans 📈💸
