Staying connected in Austria

The Eastern Alps cover 62% of landlocked Austria, which borders eight countries, from Germany to Switzerland and Liechtenstein. Install a travel eSIM at home and switch it on when you land. AirOva sells Austria plans from $1.49: fixed GB, unlimited data and a data + calls option, on 3, A1 and Magenta.

Which Austria plan to choose

GB plans suit most city breaks and rail trips, since maps, tickets and messaging take little data. Each plan card shows whether it is listed as 4G or 5G; on a 5G plan, expect 4G, with 5G where available. Unlimited plans give unlimited data with no data cap and no fair-usage limit, priced by the number of days, and the data + calls option adds call minutes. GB and unlimited plans are data only, and no plan includes a local phone number.

A1, Magenta and Drei

Austria has three mobile networks: A1, the former Mobilkom Austria; Magenta Telekom, called T-Mobile Austria until 2019; and Drei, run by Hutchison Drei Austria. Our plans run on 3, A1 and Magenta; a plan card that says A1.net means A1, and one that says 3 means Drei. Only about a third of Austria lies below 500 m, so we cannot promise signal on every slope: download offline maps before hikes and ski days.

EU SIMs and the Swiss border

Austria has been in the EU since 1995, so an EU or EEA SIM uses its domestic allowance here under Roam Like at Home; operators may still apply a fair-use limit to roaming data on cheap or unlimited tariffs. Switzerland is outside the zone, and in Vorarlberg's Rhine valley its network has been reported to reach about 10 km into Austria; see EU roaming rules explained.

Arriving in Vienna, Salzburg or Innsbruck

Vienna Airport (VIE), the country's largest, lies in Schwechat, 18 km southeast of central Vienna. Salzburg Airport (SZG) is about 3 km from the city centre and only 2 km from the German border, and Innsbruck Airport (INN) about 4 km from central Innsbruck. After landing, switch on the eSIM line, choose it for mobile data and enable Data Roaming for that line; the plan is prepaid, so roaming adds no charge.

Tip: before a mountain day, save Austria's Alpine rescue number, 140, and the European emergency number, 112: Austria's government says both are free from any phone in the country. Near a border, if your phone shows a German or Swiss network, choose the network named on your plan card by hand.

Travelling on through Europe? Every Europe eSIM plan covers Austria and 29 more countries on one eSIM, from $1.49.

Austria eSIM FAQ

Do I need an eSIM if my SIM is from the EU?
Maybe not. Austria is in the EU, so EU and EEA SIMs, including those from neighbouring Liechtenstein, roam here under Roam Like at Home and use their domestic allowance, although operators may apply a fair-use limit to roaming data on cheap or unlimited tariffs. An eSIM helps if that allowance is small, if you want unlimited data, or if your SIM is from outside the zone, for example from Switzerland, the UK or the US. Check compatibility →
Which network will my Austria eSIM use?
GB plans run on 3 and A1, unlimited plans on 3, A1 and Magenta and data + calls plans on 3, A1 and Magenta. A plan card that says A1.net means A1, and one that says 3 means Drei, Hutchison's Austrian network. Each plan card shows whether it is listed as 4G or 5G; on a 5G plan, expect 4G, with 5G where available. Install guide → · QR code not working? 9 fixes
Can my phone switch to a Swiss network near the border?
Yes. In Vorarlberg's Rhine valley, the Swiss network has been reported to reach about 10 km into Austria, and Switzerland is outside Roam Like at Home. An Austria plan works in Austria only, so if your phone shows a Swiss network, choose the network named on your plan card by hand in your phone's network settings.
What do the unlimited and data + calls plans include?
Unlimited plans give unlimited data with no data cap and no fair-usage limit; you only choose the number of days. The data + calls option adds call minutes to mobile data. GB and unlimited plans are data only, and no plan includes a local phone number. Austria plans start from $1.49.
Will my phone work with a Austria eSIM?
Most phones from 2018+ support eSIM (iPhone XS+, Pixel 3+, Galaxy S20+) and must be carrier-unlocked. Check our compatibility page before buying.
How do I get my Austria eSIM?
Instantly. After payment a QR code appears on screen and is emailed to you. Scan it in your phone settings — you can install before you fly.
When does the plan start in Austria?
Validity begins when the eSIM first connects to a network in Austria, so you can install it in advance and it won't start counting until you arrive.
Can I keep my phone number?
Yes. Your home SIM stays active for calls and texts; the Austria eSIM is used only for data.
Does it support hotspot / tethering?
It depends on the plan and the local network: many plans allow it, but some local operators limit or block tethering, so we can't guarantee it on every plan. If you need hotspot, message support before you buy and we'll check your destination.
Which mobile networks does the Austria eSIM use?
Plans connect to 3 (5G), A1 (5G), Magenta (5G). Your phone picks an available network automatically; 4G/5G depends on local coverage.
