Coverage & network in Austria
The plans for Austria are regional: one eSIM that covers Austria alongside its neighbours, which is exactly what most trips through this part of the world look like. Every plan shown here works in Austria — the coverage counter on each one tells you where else it reaches.
Most travellers over-buy data. Navigation and messaging for a week is under 2 GB — streaming and video calls are what move the number, at roughly 1 GB an hour.
Where 5G has been rolled out in Austria you’ll get it on 5G-marked plans; everywhere else the eSIM runs on 4G/LTE. Both are far more than maps and messaging need. Tethering is allowed on every Austria plan, so a laptop or a travelling companion can share the connection.
Because these are regional plans, crossing into a neighbouring country usually needs no new eSIM at all — check the coverage list on the plan you pick. The full Europe plan page shows everything the region offers, and Andorra, Belarus and Belgium have their own pages too.
How to install it
- 1
Buy in a minute
Pick a Austria plan and pay. Your QR code arrives by email within minutes — no account, no shipping.
- 2
Install on Wi-Fi
Scan the code before you fly. The profile sits alongside your normal SIM and stays switched off until you need it.
- 3
Land connected
Turn on data roaming for the TravelNet line when you arrive. The plan starts counting down on that first connection, not at checkout.
Will my phone work?
You need an eSIM-capable, carrier-unlocked phone: an iPhone XS or newer, a Pixel 3 or
newer, or a recent Samsung Galaxy S, Z or A-series flagship. Dial *#06# — if
an EID number is listed alongside the IMEI, the phone has an eSIM.

Austria eSIM questions
Which network does the Austria eSIM use?
We don't publish a single operator name for Austria, because the profile can attach to more than one partner network and picks whichever is strongest where you are. In practice that means you get the best available signal rather than being locked to one operator's weak spots.
Will I get 5G in Austria?
On plans marked 5G, yes — where the network has deployed it and your phone supports it. Outside those areas the eSIM falls back to 4G/LTE automatically; you won't need to change any setting.
How much data do I actually need for Austria?
Most travellers over-buy. Maps and messaging for a week is under 2 GB; streaming and video calls are what move the number. Start small and top up if you run short.
When does my Austria plan start counting down?
When the eSIM first connects to a network in Austria, not when you buy it. Install it at home a day or two before you fly — the validity period on the plan you choose runs from arrival, not from checkout.
Why do Austria plans list other countries too?
Because they are regional eSIMs: one profile whose allowance works across every country on its coverage list, Austria included. For a single-country trip nothing changes — install, land, connect. For a multi-country trip it means the same plan keeps working after the border.
Can I use my Austria eSIM as a hotspot?
Yes. Tethering is enabled on every Austria plan, so you can share the connection with a laptop, a tablet or someone travelling with you. Hotspot data comes out of the same allowance.
Can I keep my own phone number while I'm in Austria?
Yes. Nothing is removed from your phone. The Austria profile is added as a second line and set as the one used for data, while your usual number keeps receiving calls, texts and bank verification codes. Switch data roaming off on the home line before you fly.
Do I need to register or show a passport to use a Austria eSIM?
No. The plan roams on partner networks, so there's no local SIM registration, no ID upload and no shop visit. You buy it, scan the QR code, and it works on arrival.
What happens if I run out of data in Austria?
You can buy another Austria plan from the same page and install it the same way. Plans marked as top-up capable can also be extended without a new QR code.
I'm also visiting Andorra and Belarus — do I need separate eSIMs?
Check the coverage list on the plan you pick first — many Austria plans are regional and already include the neighbours, in which case one eSIM covers the whole trip. Otherwise the Europe plan does.
Will my phone work with a Austria eSIM?
If it's an iPhone XS or newer, a Pixel 3 or newer, or a recent Samsung Galaxy S, Z or A-series flagship, almost certainly — and it must be carrier-unlocked. Dial *#06# and look for an EID number: if one is listed, the phone has an eSIM. Our compatibility list has the full set.
