“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.”

“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!!”

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?

Nearly 180 travel eSIM providers and more than 13, 000 prepaid data plans are available for Austria, giving travelers a wide variety of options to choose from.

Are there any unlimited data eSIM plans available for Austria?

Yes, Austria offers several unlimited data eSIM plans from a range of providers. These plans typically have validity periods of 1 to 30 days and come with speeds that may be throttled or subject to a specific limit; for example, abesteSIM, MicroEsim, and Earth Esim restrict speeds to 10 Mbps, while Earth Esim also offers a 5 Mbps limit in some variations. The plans support tethering in most cases, with the notable exception of EtravelSIM, where tethering is not listed, and Orange Travel, which requires eKYC. Prices for these unlimited packages vary from as low as $2.40 with abesteSIM to about $36.00 with Earth Esim, giving travelers a broad mid‑tier price range to choose from. If a fast connection without throttling is essential, checking the specific speed caps and speed‑throttling policies of each provider can help ensure the chosen plan meets the traveler's needs.

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 phone number with SMS capability are available for Austria. Providers such as Airalo, Orange Travel, Giga.Tel (Austria‑specific plans) and Airhub offer plans that give a fully‑functional phone number with inbound and outbound voice and SMS. Their dialing codes vary – Airalo, Giga.Tel and Airhub use the Austrian code +43, providing a local number, while Orange Travel uses +48 (Poland) and other GlobaleSIM or Giga.Tel Europe plans use +1 or other foreign codes.

The plans range from 1 GB for about $3.95–$5.50 with 1–7‑day validity to 30 GB for around $18–$19 with 30‑day validity, with the number of days generally matching the data period. All these options support receiving and sending SMS, along with standard voice calls, making them suitable for travelers who need a local or international number to stay connected in Austria.
