Austria travel data eSIM
What is an Austria eSIM?
An Austria eSIM gives travelers a ready‑to‑go data connection the moment they step onto Austrian soil. After installing the eSIM at home, you arrive in Vienna, Salzburg or Innsbruck with your phone already set to access local networks, letting you navigate, book tickets and stay in touch without swapping physical SIMs.
In Austria the eSIM routes your data through the 3 5G and A1.net 5G operator networks. Your chosen data allowance is deducted as you use it, whether you’re checking maps in the Alps or ordering a coffee in a city café. The plan works for the full 30‑day or 7‑day periods you select.
Local networks
Which networks you connect to in Austria
When you connect in Austria, your device links to the 3 5G and A1.net 5G networks. These operators maintain their own infrastructure, so the extent of service you experience depends on the specific network present in each location you visit.
5 plans are available for Austria, from $3.90 up to $19.90. Every plan is data only, delivered by QR code, and starts counting when you connect on arrival.

Questions people actually ask
If yours is not here, write to us — we answer within 24 hours.
Which operator(s) does the Austria eSIM use and what does that mean for a traveller?
The eSIM connects to the 3 5G and A1.net 5G networks. This gives you access to the same mobile services that local residents use, such as data‑driven apps and internet browsing.
Does the eSIM also work in a neighbouring country of Austria, for example Germany?
No, this is a single‑country plan valid only within Austria. Separate regional plans are available for travelers who need connectivity across multiple bordering nations.
Which plan size suits a trip to Vienna and Innsbruck?
As a rough guide, a 5 GB or 10 GB 30‑day plan often covers two major cities like Vienna and Innsbruck, depending on your typical data usage for maps, apps and streaming.
Will I lose my own phone number?
No. Your physical SIM stays in the phone and keeps your number for calls and WhatsApp. The eSIM only carries data, so both work side by side.
When does my plan start counting down?
When the eSIM first connects to a network at your destination — not when you buy it. So you can install it days before you fly without losing any time.
Is my phone compatible?
Most phones from 2018 onwards are: iPhone XS and later, Google Pixel 3 and later, Samsung Galaxy S20 and later. Your phone also has to be carrier-unlocked. Dial *#06# — if an EID appears, you have eSIM. Full list on our Device Compatibility page.
How fast will I get my QR code?
Usually within a couple of minutes of payment, by email. If it has not arrived, check spam first, then write to us and we will resend it immediately.
Can I use hotspot or tethering?
Yes, on every plan we sell. Share the connection with a laptop, a tablet or the rest of your group.
What if I change my mind?
If you have not installed the eSIM, you get a full refund within 180 days. Once a profile is activated and data has been used it cannot be refunded — the allowance is consumed from the network. Full detail in our Refund Policy.
Do you sell plans for groups?
Yes. For Umrah and Hajj groups, student trips and tour operators we deliver the QR codes as a single batch before departure, at group rates. Email us with your group size and destination.
