“I bought 14 300GB eSIMs for Europe and they all stopped working when they reached 35GB. I filed a complaint with AirHub and they told me they didn't actually provide 300GB and only offered 35GB. I asked for a refund and they never gave it to me. That company is a scam. Stay away if you don't want to be scammed.

AIRHUB is a SCAM. They are thieves who steal your money and give you eSIMs with less GB than they offer.”

“10gb sim used across Europe. Worked great for 10 days, then suddenly the speed just dropped to 40kbps despite still showing 5G.

Customer service non-existant. No response to live chat or useful info online so had to buy another sim from jetpac.”

Airalo Austria

“Speeds are 32Mb download and 3Mb upload. Impressive even if not stellar fast. Yes I would recommend Airalo. First attempt using an ESIM in Europe. Far more convenient given the limited option available when we arrived in Venice on route to Austria.”

MTX Connect Austria

“Perfect, reliable and flawless experience in all countries with good 4G speeds (15-25mbps)!
I used the „pay as you go“ plan!
Easy to choose and switch via the app.
Refill/prepay is also done via the app! The only minor catch, minimum refill amount is 10€ and it‘s 10€ steps from here (10,20,30...)
Overall really good experience!!”

Austria Travel eSIM FAQ

Everything you need to know about using eSIMs in Austria

How many travel eSIM brands (providers) are available for use in Austria, and how many prepaid data plans are there?

Austria offers around 160 travel eSIM providers and more than 10, 900 prepaid data plans. The extensive selection gives travelers a wide variety of eSIM options to choose from, making it simple to find a plan that fits their needs.

Are there any unlimited data eSIM plans available for Austria?

All eSIM providers listed for Austria offer unlimited data plans that can be activated for anywhere from one to thirty days, depending on the provider. The most affordable options start around $2.22 and the most expensive peak at about $38.00, giving travelers a broad price range to choose from. If speed is an important factor, note that several plans allow tethering but may include throttling or impose a maximum speed of 10 Mbps; other plans guarantee full 5G speeds but still may be subject to some slowdown after a certain data threshold. For travelers who need consistent high‑speed connectivity, checking the specific terms of each plan—such as whether throttling occurs and how it applies—will help ensure the chosen eSIM meets their expectations.

What are the major mobile networks available for a travel eSIM in Austria?

A1 Telekom Austria: The largest mobile operator in Austria, offering extensive 2G, 3G, 4G/LTE, and 5G coverage.
Magenta Telekom: A subsidiary of Deutsche Telekom, providing comprehensive 2G, 3G, 4G, and 5G services.
Drei (Three Austria): Owned by CK Hutchison Holdings, offering 2G, 3G, 4G/LTE, and expanding 5G services.

In addition to these major Mobile Network Operators (MNOs), Austria has several Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) that offer mobile services by leasing access from the major carriers. Notable local MVNOs include HoT Hofer Telekom and Spusu. However, most travel eSIMs rely on the infrastructure of the primary MNOs rather than MVNOs.

Can I get a travel eSIM with a phone number and SMS for Austria?

Travel eSIMs that give you a phone number and SMS support for Austria are available from several providers. GlobaleSIM, Airalo, Orange Travel and Airhub all offer plans that include inbound and outbound voice and inbound or inbound‑and‑outbound SMS, with validity periods ranging from one week up to one month and data allowances from 1GB to 50GB. Airalo, Orange Travel and Airhub provide local Austrian numbers with the dialing code +43, while GlobaleSIM supplies numbers from the United States with the dialing code +1, which are therefore not local Austria numbers. Prices start around $4 USD for a short 1GB, 7‑day data‑only plan and increase proportionally with data size and longer validity.
