Pros and cons
Pros
- Core SIM Pur brings the entry price of €11.90 a month with no commitment, the only tier in the range that does not tie you in.
- Billing covers contract and rolling plans, so a reader who expects to move can stay rolling instead of serving a fixed term.
- Support runs on email, phone and help centre, which includes phone and email alongside a help centre rather than a single channel.
- The Unlimited plan at €39.90 a month ranks at 144 of 173 on price, so the top tier holds up even though entry pricing does not.
- eSIM is supported and every plan is sim only, so activation does not wait on a card arriving.
Cons
- Entry pricing is the weak point: €11.90 a month places Red Bull MOBILE at 184 of 258 on price from, well down the field.
- Only Core SIM Pur avoids a commitment; Core and Unlimited run on terms of 1 and 24 months, so the rest of the range is a longer tie in.
- EU roaming runs on fair use terms rather than being included, so frequent travellers get less than a flat monthly price suggests.
- It is an MVNO (mvno) sold only in Austria (AT), while GETESA (network) and yesss! (network) sell as networks, so the host network does the work.
Who it suits
- Readers who want a sim only plan with room to leave, since Core SIM Pur carries the entry price of €11.90 a month and no commitment.
- People who want unlimited data on a named host network, since Unlimited pairs €39.90 a month with the A1 network.
- Travellers setting up a connection in Austria, the only market in Austria, who prefer eSIM to waiting for a card.
Who should look elsewhere
- Buyers who would rather hold the network itself: GETESA (network) and yesss! (network) sell as networks, where Red Bull MOBILE is an MVNO (mvno).
- Readers shopping purely on the lowest entry number, because €11.90 a month sits above the sim only median of €6.99.
- Heavy EU travellers, since roaming here runs on fair use terms rather than being included.
Pricing
Pricing starts at €11.90 a month on Core SIM Pur, the plan that carries the entry data allowance and no commitment. Above it sit Core and Unlimited: Core raises the allowance and drops the flexibility, while Unlimited removes the cap altogether at €39.90 a month. Terms across the range run 1 and 24 months, so Core SIM Pur is the only tier you can leave early and the other two are priced on the assumption that you stay. Read it that way and the choice is clear: the entry plan is a trial, Unlimited is the fixed monthly figure for readers who will not move, and the gap between them is the price of that certainty. Keep the plan name beside the number you budget, since the headline price alone does not tell you which tier locks you in.
Where it sits among rivals
Ranked on entry price, Red Bull MOBILE sits at 184 of 258 brands, so the start price lands well down the field rather than among the cheaper listings. Unlimited pricing reads differently: 144 of 173 puts the top tier nearer the front. That split tells you which part of the range to argue with. The capped entry plan is what holds the ranking back, so compare it against the cheapest plans in the sim only and cheap plan categories and expect to find cheaper options there. The unlimited plan sits in the better part of the field, so a reader who only needs heavy data can treat it as competitive and stop searching. Neither position is remarkable enough to carry a decision on its own, which is why the tier you pick matters more than the ranking.
What it does well
Every plan is sold sim only, so what you pay for is the tariff rather than a handset, and the data allowance is the main thing that separates one tier from the next. eSIM is supported, so a plan can be activated without waiting for a card to arrive, which helps with a short stay or a phone that has no SIM tray. Access to the newest mobile generation is confirmed for the plans on offer. Put together, that makes Red Bull MOBILE a straightforward fit for readers who already own a compatible handset and want the decision narrowed to data volume and term length, and for anyone setting up a connection while travelling rather than settling in permanently.
Who runs it
Red Bull MOBILE is run by Red Bull Media House GmbH, a media business rather than a telecom operator, with its registered home in Austria. The plans are sold into that same market, so the prices and terms here are local ones and a reader elsewhere cannot simply copy them. Support runs on email, phone and help centre, which mixes self service with phone and email. For a brand of this kind that is a workable set of channels: routine questions about activation, billing or roaming go through the help centre, and anything tied to a contract term can go to a person by phone or email. The part worth holding on to is that the contract is with a media company rather than a network, so the terms of service and the help centre both belong to Red Bull MOBILE.

Frequently asked questions
What is the cheapest plan and what does it include?+
Core SIM Pur is the entry plan at €11.90 a month and the only tier with no commitment. Core and Unlimited both run on a term of 1 and 24 months, so if you take either of those, work out the total for the whole term rather than a single month.
How much does unlimited data cost?+
The Unlimited plan costs €39.90 a month and carries unlimited data. Ranked on that price, the brand sits at 144 of 173 listed brands, which is a stronger position than the entry price earns, so the top tier is the stronger part of this range.
Are these contract plans or can I pay month to month?+
Both billing styles are listed under contract and rolling. The contract plans are the ones with a minimum term of 1 and 24 months, so the rolling option is the pick if you may move home, change provider or lose interest before the minimum period ends.
Whose network do the plans run on?+
Plans run on the A1 host network, and the brand sells as an MVNO (mvno), so coverage follows that host rather than a network the brand operates itself. Sim only and eSIM are both available, so the choice narrows to data allowance and term.
Can I get an eSIM instead of a plastic card?+
Yes, eSIM is supported, and every plan is sim only, so activation does not wait on a card arriving. That suits a short visit or a phone with no SIM tray, and billing runs on contract and rolling terms, so you can hold a plan month to month if that is what you need.
What happens when I travel outside Austria?+
Plans are sold in a single market, Austria, and EU roaming runs on fair use terms rather than being included outright, so heavy data use while travelling can stop once the fair use limit is reached. If you need the exact allowance, support runs on email, phone and help centre.
How do I reach support if something goes wrong?+
Support runs on email, phone and help centre. A help centre covers the routine questions such as activation and billing, and phone and email handle anything that needs a person, including a query about a contract term on contract and rolling plans.
Who is actually behind Red Bull MOBILE?+
The brand is run by Red Bull Media House GmbH, based in Austria. It is a media company selling mobile plans on the A1 host network, which means your contract is with that company and questions about terms, bills or roaming go to Red Bull MOBILE rather than to a network counter.
Do prices change when the plan renews?+
The entry plan is the tier with no commitment, and both the Core and Unlimited plans run on a term of 1 and 24 months, so those monthly figures are what you pay for the length of the term. The entry tier at €11.90 a month is the one to watch if you want room to leave.
