“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 more than 150 travel eSIM providers and more than 9 600 prepaid data plans, giving travelers a wide range of options to choose from so they can find an eSIM that suits their needs.

Are there any unlimited data eSIM plans available for Austria?

Unlimited data eSIM options for Austria are offered by several providers. Providers such as Billion Connect, abesteSIM, Roamify, MicroEsim, Roambit, Yesim, Truely, Orange Travel and FairPlay all list unlimited data plans with validity periods ranging from 1 to 30 days. Most of these plans allow tethering and are accessed over 5G networks, but the speed may be throttled after a certain point, and in the case of abesteSIM the speed is capped at approximately 5 Mbps. Across the available offers the price range falls roughly between $2.20 and $34.20 USD, with Orange Travel’s single 5‑day unlimited plan priced at $20.99 and FairPlay’s 3‑ to 30‑day plan at $29.11. Travelers can therefore choose a provider that fits their budget while ensuring adequate data usage during their stay.

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 include a telephone number and SMS support for Austria are offered by several providers. Airalo, Airhub, GlobaleSIM and Roamify all offer such plans. Some of their packages use Austria’s local dialing code +43, giving users a true Austrian number, while others use the foreign code +1, providing a US/Canada number that still works for calls and texts wherever a GSM network is available. All the plans listed enable both inbound and outbound voice and SMS, allowing full two‑way communication while you are visiting Austria.

Prices for these services typically start at about $4.00 for a small data allowance and can rise to roughly $30.00–$35.00 for larger data bundles, with validity periods ranging from 3 days up to 30 days. This gives travelers flexibility to choose a plan that matches the length of their stay and their data needs.
