“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.”

“When the eSIM was connected with a supported network, it was great.

Unfortunately, the Maya eSIM wasn't smart enough to only choose supported networks. More often than not, it would choose a network that *wasn't* supported, meaning I'd have 5-bars of service but no data.

Maya support was helpful to point out that I could set my iPhone to "manual" and then choose a supported network, but that was a freakin' nightmare. We were choosing new networks multiple times per day.

Bad experience.”

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!!”

Notable local MVNOs include HoT Hofer Telekom and Spusu. However, most travel eSIMs rely on the infrastructure of the primary MNOs rather than MVNOs.

Providers such as GlobaleSIM, Airalo, EtravelSIM, Roamify, Stixrs, RedEx eSIM, and others offer plans that support voice calls and text messages, with some of them providing an Austrian phone number (dialing code +43). Other plans give a foreign number from the United States (+1), the United Kingdom (+44), or France (+33).

The plans cover a wide range of data limits, from 1 GB to over 30 GB, and validity periods from 3 days up to 30 days. Prices start around $4 USD for a 1 GB plan with GlobaleSIM and rise to roughly $25 USD or more for larger data bundles.
