Austria eSIM questions
How much does the Austria eSIM cost?
Data plans start at $3.95 for 1GB over 7 days, and 10GB for 30 days is $12.95. Prices are in AUD, with no roaming charges on top.
How much data do I need in Austria?
Most travellers use about 1GB a day with maps, messaging and some social media, so 10GB ($12.95) covers a week. Just maps and messages? 3GB ($6.95) is enough for a week. See how much data each app uses.
Which networks does the Austria eSIM use?
It uses Drei and A1, and joins whichever has the best signal where you are. You get 5G where the network has it, if your phone supports 5G, and 4G everywhere else.
Does it work at the ski resorts?
Yes in St Anton, Kitzbuhel, Ischgl and the other big resorts, and on most lifts and runs. Off-piste and in the high valleys signal drops.
Will I have signal on the trains?
Mostly. The Railjet has signal on most of the line, with gaps in the long Alpine tunnels. Download your tickets to the OBB app before you board.
Does it work on a day trip to Berchtesgaden or Munich?
No, those are in Germany, and this eSIM is Austria only. The Europe eSIM covers Austria, Germany and 37 more countries, so it keeps working across the border.
Can I use it in Switzerland or Italy on the same trip?
No, it's Austria only. Switzerland has its own eSIM, and the Europe eSIM covers Austria, Switzerland, Italy and 36 more countries.
When does my Austria plan start?
When the eSIM first connects to a network in Austria. Install it on Wi-Fi a day or two before you fly: the days don't start counting until you land.
Can I use the Austria eSIM as a hotspot?
Yes. Every Austria plan can share its data with a laptop, a tablet or a travel partner's phone. Anything you share comes off the same plan.
Does the Austria eSIM include calls and texts?
No, it's data only, with no local number. Call and text over WhatsApp, iMessage or FaceTime. Your Australian number stays on your phone, so texts like bank codes still arrive.
