English
An eSIM for Austria is a digital data plan for the phone you already own. There is no physical SIM card, no airport lines, and no passport needed. Your plan is ready on your SIMAREA account before you even leave home.
It works safely alongside your normal SIM. You keep your own number for calls and important text messages. Your data goes through the SIMAREA plan. Just turn off data roaming on your home SIM to avoid high bills.
Every plan here uses more than one partner network. Your phone joins one when you arrive and can switch to another if the signal weakens.
If you stay longer, top up your current plan with more data. You do not need to buy a new one.
What it is not: a local phone number. If you need one for verification codes, see virtual numbers for Austria.
Austria eSIM on 3 and A1.net
5GMobile data for a city break in Vienna or a month in Salzburg, on two Austrian networks. Each plan starts counting days at its first connection in Austria.
The unlimited plan is the day pass we feature for Austria: after its daily full-speed allowance it keeps you connected at a lower speed, and it is billed per day for the days you choose. Fixed plans are one price for the term shown. Nothing on this page is an estimate.

What to know about an eSIM for Austria
The specifics that decide whether a travel eSIM is useful once you're actually there.
More than one network
Every plan here lists more than one partner network. If one gets weak, your phone can switch to another.
Set up before you go
No SIM card store, no passport check. Install it at home, then turn on data roaming for it when you arrive.
Hotspot sharing
Share your internet with a laptop or a friend, if your plan and phone allow it.
Keep your own number
The eSIM is just for internet. Your normal SIM still receives calls and important bank codes. You can use both at once.
Keep using the same eSIM
Staying longer? Top up the same plan with more data from your dashboard. No need for a new QR code.
If it does not work
Not installed or connected yet? Ask for a refund within 30 days of buying it. Installed but not working on any of its networks? Support helps, and refunds you if it cannot be fixed.
Austria eSIM networks and plan sizes
An Austria eSIM from SIMAREA uses two networks on every plan, the day pass included: 3, which Austrians know as Drei, and A1.net. The catalog marks 5G on both, so you get 5G where the network has built it.
Fixed plans run 1 GB for 7 days, 2 or 3 GB for 15 days, 3, 5, 10, or 20 GB for 30 days, and 50 GB for 180 days. The day pass gives 1 GB a day at full speed and 512 Kbps after that until the day resets. Each one tops up with data on the same eSIM, never with extra days.
Don't expect an Austrian IP address, though. Each plan lists its exits as France, the Netherlands, and the UK, and sites see an address in one of those.
The Europe eSIM can mean one network in Austria
Austria is on every row of the Europe eSIM, but the two networks aren't. What you get here depends on the row:
- 34- and 41-country rows: 3 alone, with exits in the UK or Norway. The Europe day pass is one of them, and it drops to 384 Kbps after its daily 1 GB, not 512 Kbps.
- 35-country rows: 3 and A1.net, with the same exits as the Austria plans, though France isn't on their list.
- 33-country rows: 3, A1.net, and bob, with an exit in Belgium.
- 31-day rows: 3, A1.net, and Magenta, with an exit in the Netherlands. Their days start at installation, and they can't be topped up.
Global 130 is also 3 alone in Austria. If most of your days are here, the Austria plans keep both networks. If Austria is one stop of many, weigh a row's networks against its country list.
Vienna to Bratislava, Budapest, or Munich
An Austria plan names Austria alone, and it has eight neighbors: Germany, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Slovenia, Italy, Switzerland, and Liechtenstein. All eight are on every Europe row and on Global 130, so crossing a border here doesn't narrow your choice of row. The networks and the term do.
For a single day next door, keep this eSIM and add a plan for that country, such as Hungary, Germany, or Slovakia. Both can stay on the phone.
Questions about Austria eSIM plans
Is Magenta on the Austria eSIM?
Not on the Austria plans, which list 3 and A1.net. Magenta shows up only on the 31-day Europe rows of 10, 20, or 50 GB.
Is the Austria day pass unlimited?
There's a daily limit on full speed: 1 GB. Past that, the eSIM runs at 512 Kbps until the day resets, and then the 1 GB is back.
Can I get an Austrian phone number with this eSIM?
No. The eSIM is for mobile data, with no number and no SMS; calls and texts stay on your own SIM. An Austrian number is separate: rent an Austria virtual number to receive SMS.
Can I share the connection with a laptop?
Sharing works if your plan and phone allow it. The largest Austria sizes are 20 GB on the 30-day term and 50 GB on the 180-day term.
When should I set it up?
Before your trip is fine, since the term doesn't begin until the eSIM first connects in Austria, and it can sit unused for up to 180 days. Weigh one thing first: a refund on request is possible only while the eSIM hasn't been installed or connected, and within 30 days of purchase.
