Austria – known for the Alps, its nature & for being the capital of classical music.
The country is an insanely popular travel destination for those who love to ski.
This is understandable, as it apparently has amazing mountains for skiing (I cannot confirm – I hate snow and snow-related sports 🤪).
But besides skiing or snowboarding, Austria has much more to offer.
Many stunning palaces have to be seen, including as Belvedere Palace, chönbrunn Palace & The Hofburg.
Let's not forget about the many churches and cathedrals, like St. Stephen's Cathedral.
And certainly do not miss out on Fortress Hohensalzburg.
And if all these urban attractions sound too urban for you – worry not. There are plenty of hiking trails with stunning nature and landscapes you can enjoy.
What certainly will not be enjoyable is you dealing with an expensive international roaming bill because you forgot to turn data roaming off.
International roaming can be expensive, which is why I always recommend local SIM cards, like an Austrian one, so that you can enjoy local rates.
While SIM cards in Austria are not the cheapest in Europe, mobile data rates in the country do be one of the lowest in Central Europe.
You can get an Austrian SIM card for 9.90-10 EUR (10.60-10.75USD) from A1, Magenta Telekom (formerly T-Mobile) & Drei (3) in their stores and from resellers, like Mediamarkt. SIM cards are also sold at Salzburg Airport (SZG) and Vienna International Airport (VIE).
There are some typical Northern- and Western European SIM card prices, so they are not outrageousl high.
But things can be much cheaper, like in Austria's neighboring countries. Anyway, we will focus on Austria alone for now!
In this guide, I will go over everything you need to know about buying a SIM card in Austria. Let's do this.

Can You Buy a SIM Card in Austria?
Anyone living in or visiting Austria can buy an Austrian SIM card from A1, Magenta Telekom (formerly T-Mobile), Drei (3) & many MVNO with no restrictions.
You do have to comply with the SIM card registration regulations.
- Find out which countries have SIM card registration regulations and what is required from you (lookup tool)

Moreover, you need a phone that supports the frequencies used in the country (preferably all of them to have the most optimal experience while in Austria).
Furthermore, you need to have a SIM-lock-free device.
Where Can You Buy a SIM Card in Austria?
You can get an Austrian SIM card in A1, Magenta Telekom (formerly T-Mobile) & Drei (3) stores. Electronic shops, like Mediamarkt, also sell SIM cards (especially for the MVNOs). They are also sold at Salzburg Airport (SZG) and Vienna International Airport (VIE).
You can expect to pay the following for Austrian SIM cards:
- A1 Austria: 9.90 EUR
- Magenta Telekom (formerly T-Mobile Austria): 10 EUR
- Drei (3) Austria: 9.90 EUR (regular & data-only)
- MVNOs (like Lycamobile Austria): being added later
For up-to-date EUR:your currency (let's say GBP) exchange rates, use the Wise Currency Converter tool.
- Find out how much SIM cards cost in every country, including data-only SIM cards and tourist SIM cards, offered by each mobile operator + information about starter benefits (lookup tool)

Can You Use Your Phone in Austria?
Austria uses GSM technology for mobile communications. CDMA phones will not work in Austria. If your phone has a SIM card slot, then it supports GSMA (99% of the phones do support GSM nowadays).
Traditional European frequencies are used in Austria, which are mostly used in ITU Regions 1 and 3 (Africa, Asia (including the Middle East), Europe & Oceania).
The Americas (North-, Central– & South America + the Caribbean – ITU Region 2) use American frequencies, which differ from the European ones.

If you bought your phone in Africa, Asia, Europe, or Oceania (ITU Regions 1 and 3), you should not experience any issues with using your phone in Austria.
If you purchased your phone in the Americas (ITU Region 2) and have a low/medium-end device (without Tri-Band or Quad-Band) support, then there is a possibility you cannot use your phone when in Austria or can only use slower networks (3G or 2G).
If you have a medium/high-end device with Tri-Band or Quad-Band support, you can use your phone in Austria (to some extent) – also on 4G/LTE and 5G NR.
Mobile Operators, Networks & Frequencies in Austria

Austria has three mobile operators and various Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs – being added later) offering prepaid services easily accessible to travelers:
- A1 Austria
- Magenta Telekom (formerly T-Mobile Austria)
- Drei (3) Austria
The following frequencies are used in Austria:
- 2G: 900 MHz & 1800 MHz
- 3G: 900 MHz & 2100 MHz
- 4G/LTE: 800 MHz (Band 20), 900 MHz (Band 8), 1800 MHz (Band 3), 2100 MHz (Band 1) & 2600 MHz (Band 7)
- 5G NR: 3500 MHz (n78)
You can learn more about frequencies in the video below.
To check whether your phone will work in Austria, check out this page by Kimovil or this one by Will My Phone Work (outdated, unfortunately, but extremely user-friendly – useful for phones launched in or before 2019. It does not check for 5G NR compatibility).
Again, make sure your phone is unlocked. Otherwise, you will not be able to use any SIM card except the one from your home operator (meaning you have to roam internationally or buy another unlocked phone that does support the frequencies listed above).
If you want to learn how international roaming works, this guide explains it in-depth. If you wonder why it is often so expensive to roam, this article explains the hidden reason they do not want you to know.
VoLTE & VoWiFi in Austria
Both VoLTE (Voice over LTE (4G) – also known as HD Voice) and VoWiFi (Voice over WiFi – also known as WiFi calling) are available in Austria. All Austrian mobile operators offer both services.
5G NR in Austria

Commercial 5G NR has been available in Austria since March 2019. It is available on the A1, Magenta Telekom (formerly T-Mobile) & Drei (3) networks. None of the mobile operators offer 5G NR to prepaid customers (yet).
Best SIM Card in Austria
Austrian SIM Card Reviews
When I recently revisited Austria, I tried out four Austrian SIM cards (again): A1 Austria, Magenta Telekom (T-Mobile) & Drei Austria.
While I give my opinions and recommendations in this guide, I share my personal experiences in my reviews (else… they would not be reviews 🤪).
I recommend reading the reviews after deciding which Austrian SIM card will be the best for you, after reading more about the SIM card you are interested in, or after your personal comparison.
At the end of each SIM card section, I will remind you and link to the review of the said SIM card so that you can flow easily to the next part of your assessment.

Best eSIM in Austria
Drei (3) Austria offers eSIMs to prepaid customers.
However, you first need to buy a regular SIM card (9.90 EUR) and then exchange it for an eSIM for 20 EUR, making the total 29.90 EUR – just for an eSIM.
That is just too expensive.
A1 Austria and Magenta Telekom (formerly T-Mobile) do not offer eSIMs to prepaid customers.
Note that the Austrian mobile operators require your identification (ID for EU/EEA travelers and passport for anyone else) for eSIMs and physical SIM cards (will be discussed later).
However, you can get travel eSIMs from Airalo, Holafly & Nomad.
Airalo has the Viennetz Mobil eSIMs:

You have these five options:
- Austria/Viennetz Mobil 1 GB eSIM for 7 days – very popular with Phone Travel Wiz readers
- Austria/Viennetz Mobil 3 GB eSIM for 30 days – most popular with Phone Travel Wiz readers
- Austria/Viennetz Mobil 5 GB eSIM for 30 days – very popular with Phone Travel Wiz readers
- Austria/Viennetz Mobil 10 GB eSIM for 30 days
- Austria/Viennetz Mobil 20 GB eSIM for 30 days
Note: Phone Travel Wiz reader popularity ranking was updated in October based on data up to the 11th of October (2023 data only).
While I did not use the Viennetz Mobil eSIM when I was in Austria recently, I did use the Airalo Eurolink eSIM in Austria (and ten other countries) instead.
- Check out my Airalo Eurolink eSIM in Austria review (tested in Vienna)

Or you can get Austria eSIMs from Nomad.
The 5 GB Nomad Austria eSIM for 30 days is the most popular with Phone Travel Wiz readers.
Use code ADU123 for the best deals available when getting Nomad eSIMs (on the site or their apps) and get 3 USD/2.70 EUR/2.40 GBP/4.05 CAD off (even on top of (some) ongoing promotions)!
But during certain promotions where you are required to enter a code for a discount (let's say Tuesdays (web sales only) or public holidays), the discount you get for these special promotions will be more than the 3 USD off with codes ADU123. I suggest using those codes instead for extra savings – I will not blame you for it 😏.
While I did not use the Nomad Austria eSIM when I was in Austria recently, I did use the Nomad Europe eSIM in Austria (and seven other countries) instead.
So you may want to consider the Nomad Europe eSIM if you plan on visiting Austria and at least one other European country.
- Check out my Nomad Europe eSIM in Austria review (tested in Vienna)

Finally, you can get Austria eSIMs from Holafly if you prefer unlimited data plans and do not mind paying a bit more for this advantage:
- Austria unlimited data eSIM for 5 days – most popular with Phone Travel Wiz readers
- Austria unlimited data eSIM for 7 days – very popular with Phone Travel Wiz readers
- Austria unlimited data eSIM for 10 days
- Austria unlimited data eSIM for 15 days – very popular with Phone Travel Wiz readers
- Austria unlimited data eSIM for 20 days
- Austria unlimited data eSIM for 30 days
- Austria unlimited data eSIM for 60 days
- Austria unlimited data eSIM for 90 days
Note: Phone Travel Wiz reader popularity ranking was updated in October based on data up to the 11th of October (2023 data only).

Use code PHONETRAVELWIZ for exclusive deals when getting Holafly eSIMs, AND get an additional 5% off!
For an in-depth analysis of the Holafly Austria eSIMs (covering pros and cons as well), check out my Austria eSIMs Compared guide.
- Check out my Holafly reviews
With these eSIMs, you can skip Austria's SIM card registration scheme entirely and use it immediately upon arriving in Austria!

TIP: check out my Best Austria eSIMs Compared guide for an in-depth comparison of several eSIMs for Austria, including ones not mentioned above.
If you plan on visiting other neighboring European nations, consider the Eurolink eSIM (six variants: 1 GB/7 days, 3 GB/30 days – very popular with PTW readers, 5 GB/30 days – most popular with PTW readers, 10 GB/30 days – very popular with PTW readers, 50 GB/90 days & 100 GB/180 days) in Austria and these other countries:
Note: Phone Travel Wiz reader popularity ranking was updated in September based on data up to the 7th of September (2023 data only).

1 on 3G only
2 (limited) 5G NR availability at no additional cost! (list updated in December 2022)

With the Eurolink eSIM, you can save a lot of money by skipping the initial SIM card costs per country you visit – averaging 10.78 USD/country in Europe (and get 5G NR access at no additional cost)!
- Check out my Airalo Eurolink eSIM in Austria review (tested in Vienna)

Holafly and Nomad also have eSIMs covering all of the European Union (and more).
But honestly, the Eurolink eSIM is superior (but you can consider the Holafly Europe eSIM if you want unlimited data in 30+ countries – just do not forget about code PHONETRAVELWIZ if you go with Holafly).
Or if costs are of significant concern, get the Nomad Europe eSIM, which is the cheapest for up to 10 GB of data.
Remember to use code ADU123 for 3 USD/2.70 EUR/2.40 GBP/4.05 CAD off!

SIM Card Registration in Austria
SIM card registration with your passport information is required in Austria. It will be done at the point of sale (if purchased from the Big Three).

EU Roaming in Austria

Austria is part of the European Union (EU).
Since June 2017, those with EU/EEA (European Economic Area) SIM cards can roam for free in other EU/EEA nations, including Germany.
This means that, in the majority of cases, you do not need to purchase an Austrian SIM card if you already have an EU/EEA SIM card because you can roam without additional costs.
However, conditions do apply. Mobile operators in some countries may impose a roaming Fair Use Policy (FUP).
In countries where local mobile data rates are extremely low (such as in the Baltics and Nordics), mobile operators may still charge you for roaming in the EU/EEA.
Be sure to head over to the international roaming page to learn whether your mobile operator offers free roaming while in Austria or if restrictions apply.
Roaming in the EU with Austrian SIM Cards
Austria and the Austrian mobile operators have largely adopted the roam like at home regulations principles early on.
However, some plans have an EU/EEA roaming cap – some plans do not allow for roaming at all.
Moreover, the standard Fair Use Policy applies where you should not be roaming over 50% of the time over a four-month period.
If you do so, EU roaming rates will apply. You are then better off buying local prepaid SIM cards in other EU nations.
Austria Mobile Speeds, Mobile Internet Prices & Insights

Currency in Austria
Austria uses the Euro with the symbol EUR (which will be used throughout this guide).
However, prices are often listed as just €. For example, 25 EUR = €25.
For reference, below are some exchange rates between EUR and USD (US Dollars):
- 1 EUR = 1.05 USD
- 10 EUR = 10.70 USD
- 100 EUR = 106.85 USD
For up-to-date EUR:your currency (let's say GBP – (British) Pound (Sterling)) exchange rates, use the Wise Currency Converter tool.
If your credit/debit card charges you foreign exchange fees, get yourself a Wise Borderless Account and Debit Card.
Their fees are MUCH lower than banks and credit card companies charge you (and Wise is transparent about their fees, unlike banks).
I have saved literal THOUSANDS of Australian Dollars and Euros, my main currencies, when using Wise abroad when traveling compared to my debit and credit cards.
Austrian Prepaid SIM Cards
Below, I will guide you through A1 Austria, Magenta Telekom (formerly T-Mobile), Drei (3) Austria & many MVNOs that will be added later, and go through:
- Background information
- Mobile coverage
- SIM card types, prices & availability
- Recharge/top-up information
- Combo plans, data plans & special packs (such as social media packs)
With that being said, let’s see what Austria has to offer to us.
A1 Austria

A1 Austria, just A1, is the largest mobile operator in Austria.
However, Magenta Telekom (formerly T-Mobile Austria) takes the #1 position every now and then due to subscriber numbers being so close to each other.
A1 has the best overall network performance.

A1, as a company from Austria, is also active in Belarus, Bulgaria, Croatia, North Macedonia, Serbia & Slovenia.
A1 uses the following frequencies:
- 2G: 900 MHz & 1800 MHz
- 3G: 2100 MHz
- 4G/LTE: 800 MHz (Band 20), 1800 MHz (Band 3) & 2600 MHz (Band 7)
- 5G NR: 3500 MHz (n78) – not for prepaid customers (yet)
- VoLTE: Yes
- VoWiFi: Yes
This is what you will learn about A1:
* Coverage
* How to Get an A1 SIM Card & SIM Card Price
* Topping Up Options & Methods + Balance Check
* Plans & Packages
* APN/Internet Settings
Coverage – A1 Austria
A1 has the best coverage in Austria.
This was also confirmed by Opensignal.
Below is A1's coverage map produced by Speedtest:
However, click here to see A1's official coverage map.
SIM Card Price – A1 Austria
You can get an A1 SIM card, called B.free Wertkarte, for 9.90 EUR with 5000 units (regular SIM card) for 28 days, or the B.free Internet Wertkarte with 5000 MB for 28 days (data-only SIM card), in A1 stores and electronic shops, like Mediamarkt. A1 SIM cards are not sold at Vienna International Airport (VIE).
It is recommended to purchase your A1 SIM card in A1 or Mediamarkt stores for quick and instant registration.
Mediamarkt will always register SIM cards sold in its own stores (for free – also for A1).
Other retailers will want to charge you too (like Hartlauer – 6.25 EUR registration fee or post offices – up to 10 EUR), so I do not recommend getting your SIM card anywhere else besides A1 stores or Mediamarkt.
Otherwise, you can register your A1 SIM card online (for free) by video identification.
If you are from the EU/EEA, you can use your national ID too. Everyone else has to use their passport (but those from the EU/EEA can also use their passport, of course).
- Find out how much SIM cards cost in every country, including data-only SIM cards and tourist SIM cards, offered by each mobile operator + information about starter benefits (lookup tool)

While A1 does have eSIMs, they are (currently) not offered to prepaid customers.
You can consider getting a travel eSIM for Austria, which can, in specific scenarios, be cheaper than getting a SIM card from A1.
Especially if you get a Europe-wide eSIM (for when you visit at least two or more supported European countries) or a global eSIM (for frequent travelers visiting multiple continents).
In my Austria eSIM buying guide, I analyze various eSIM options of eSIM providers I have tested extensively worldwide.
But I will introduce them here quickly:
- Airalo: Viennetz Mobil (Austria only), Eurolink (39 countries in Europe) & Discover+ (130 countries worldwide + up to 200 worldwide minutes & 200 worldwide SMS) – use code DEC15 (15% off – first-time users only) or DEC10 (10% off)
- Alosim: Austria & Europe (32 countries) – use code PTW (5% off – no limits)
- Holafly: Austria & Europe (32 countries) – all variants in both options include unlimited data + up to 120 Europe-wide calls – use code PHONETRAVELWIZ (5% off – no limits)
- Nomad: Austria, Europe (30 or 35 countries, depending on the variant) & Global (109 or 139 countries, depending on the variant) – use code ADU123 (3 USD off – first-time users only)
Once again, check out my Austria eSIM buying guide to learn more about these eSIM options.

For now, I will continue with A1.
Note that A1 offers VoLTE (Voice over LTE (4G)) if your phone supports it and you have enabled it in the settings.
Oh, you can also use VoWiFi (Voice over WiFi).

My Review – A1 Austria
I had the chance to try out A1 again in March 2022.
While I did not have the best speeds because you have to pay top dollar if you want fast speeds, I did hit maximum speed most of the time.
Moreover, A1's coverage is excellent.

Magenta Telekom (formerly T-Mobile Austria)

Magenta Telekom, often referred to as just Magenta and formerly T-Mobile Austria, is the second-largest mobile operator in Austria.
However, Magenta Telekom and A1 Austria often switch positions because of how close the subscriber numbers are.
(Magenta) Telekom, by Deutsche Telekom (from Germany), is active in Europe (as Telekom and T-Mobile) and the United States (as T-Mobile).
Magenta Telekom uses the following frequencies:
- 2G: 900 MHz & 1800 MHz
- 3G: 900 MHz & 2100 MHz
- 4G/LTE: 800 MHz (Band 20), 1800 MHz (Band 3), 2100 MHz (Band 1) & 2600 MHz (Band 7)
- 5G NR: 700 MHz (n28), 2100 MHz (n1) & 3500 MHz (n78) – not for prepaid customers (yet)

Coverage – Magenta Telekom (formerly T-Mobile Austria)
Magenta Telekom has the best 4G/LTE availability.
This was also confirmed by Opensignal.
Below is Magenta Telekom's coverage map produced by Speedtest:
SIM Card Price – Magenta Telekom (formerly T-Mobile Austria)
You can get a Magenta Telekom SIM card, called Klax, for 10 EUR with 10 EUR credit and the Klax M plan (15 GB of data, 10 GB in the EU/EEA & 1500 local/EU minutes/SMS for 28 days) in Magenta Telekom stores and electronic shops, like Mediamarkt. Data-only SIM cards (Internet Klax) are sold for 10 EUR, 25 EUR, or 35 EUR. Magenta Telekom SIM cards are not sold at Vienna International Airport (VIE).

You have to make a call or send an SMS to activate your Magenta Telekom SIM card.
The following three Magenta Telekom data-only SIM cards (Internet Klax) are available:
Price | SIM Card | Data | Speed | Validity |
---|---|---|---|---|
10 EUR | Mobile Internet Klax Basic | N/A | N/A | 12 months |
25 EUR | Internet Klax 30 Startpaket | “Unlimited”, 5 TB | 30 Mbps/6 Mbps | 28 days |
35 EUR | Internet Klax 70 Startpaket | “Unlimited”, 5 TB | 70 Mbps/14 Mbps | 28 days |

It is recommended to purchase your Magenta Telekom SIM card in Magenta Telekom or Mediamarkt stores for quick and instant registration.
Mediamarkt will always register SIM cards sold in its own stores (for free – also for Magenta Telekom).
Other retailers will want to charge you too (like Hartlauer – 6.25 EUR registration fee or post offices – up to 10 EUR), so I do not recommend getting your SIM card anywhere else besides Magenta Telekom stores or Mediamarkt.
Otherwise, you can register your Magenta Telekom SIM card online (for free) by video identification.

If you are from the EU/EEA, you can use your national ID too. Everyone else has to use their passport (but those from the EU/EEA can also use their passport, of course).

While Magenta Telekom does have eSIMs, they are (currently) not offered to prepaid customers.
You may want to get a travel eSIM for Austria, which can be cheaper than getting a SIM card from Magenta Telekom (in some cases).
Especially when getting a Europe-wide eSIM if you do not stay in just Austria or a global eSIM valid for up to a year if you want one eSIM to work practically worldwide.
My Austria eSIM buying guide analyzes various eSIM options of eSIM providers I have tested extensively worldwide.
Here is a quick introduction to them:
- Airalo: Viennetz Mobil (Austria only), Eurolink (39 countries in Europe) & Discover+ (130 countries worldwide + call and text feature) – use code DEC15 (15% off – first-time users only) or DEC10 (10% off)
- Alosim: Austria & Europe (32 countries) – use code PTW (5% off – no limits)
- Holafly: Austria & Europe (32 countries) – these eSIMs have unlimited data + calling feature – use code PHONETRAVELWIZ (5% off – no limits)
- Nomad: Austria, Europe (up to 35 countries) & Global (up to 139 countries) – use code ADU123 (3 USD off – first-time users only)
For more information, such as the prices and data allowances, check out my Austria eSIM buying guide.

But let's continue with Magenta Telekom for now.
Note that Magenta Telekom offers VoLTE (Voice over LTE (4G)) if your phone supports it and you have enabled it in the settings.
Oh, you can also use VoWiFi (Voice over WiFi).

My Review – Magenta Telekom (formerly T-Mobile Austria)
I had the chance to try out Magenta Telekom again in March 2022.
While I did not have the best speeds because you have to pay top dollar if you want fast speeds, I did hit maximum speed most of the time.
Moreover, Magenta Telekom's coverage is excellent.

Drei (3) Austria

Drei, sometimes written as just 3 (from Hutchison 3G Enterprises), is the smallest mobile operator in Austria.
It currently has the fastest 5G NR speeds, which are (sadly) not available to prepaid customers (yet).
It also won the Austria Fastest 5G (NR) Mobile Network Speedtest Award of 2021.
Three, as a company, is active in Austria, Denmark, Hong Kong, Ireland, Indonesia (as Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison), Italy (as Wind Tre), Macau, Sweden & the United Kingdom.
Drei uses the following frequencies:
- 2G: 900 MHz & 1800 MHz
- 3G: 2100 MHz
- 4G/LTE: 900 MHz (Band 8), 1800 MHz (Band 3), 2100 MHz (Band 1) & 2600 MHz (Band 7)
- 5G NR: 3500 MHz (n78) – not for prepaid customers (yet)
- VoLTE: Yes
- VoWiFi: Yes
This is what you will learn about Drei:
* Coverage
* How to Get a Drei SIM Card & SIM Card Price
* Topping Up Options & Methods + Balance Check
* Plans & Packages
* APN/Internet Settings
Coverage – Drei (3) Austria
Drei (3) has the worst coverage in Austria. However, it is on par with its 5G NR coverage.
Drei is betting big time on 5G NR.
It has always been behind with other generations of cellular networks, resulting in Drei having the smallest market share.
For now, you will not be able to experience Drei's 5G NR network yet because it is not available to prepaid customers.
While Drei has the worst network, (4G/LTE) reception is available almost anywhere.
Below is Drei's coverage map produced by Speedtest:
However, click here to see Drei's official coverage map.
SIM Card Price – Drei (3) Austria
You can get a Drei (3) SIM card for 9.90 EUR with 4 GB of data, 1000 local minutes, 1000 local SMS for 30 days, or 10 GB for 30 days in Drei stores and electronic shops, like Mediamarkt. Drei SIM cards are not sold at Vienna International Airport (VIE).
Price | Data | Local Minutes | Local SMS | Validity |
---|---|---|---|---|
9.90 EUR | 4 GB | 1000 minutes | 1000 SMS | 30 days |
9.90 EUR | 10 GB | N/A | N/A | 30 days |

It is recommended to purchase your Drei SIM card in Drei or Mediamarkt stores for quick and instant registration.
Mediamarkt will always register SIM cards sold in its own stores (for free – also for Drei).
Other retailers will want to charge you too (like Hartlauer – 6.25 EUR registration fee or post offices – up to 10 EUR), so I do not recommend getting your SIM card anywhere else besides Drei stores or Mediamarkt.

Otherwise, you can register your Drei SIM card online (for free) by video identification.
If you are from the EU/EEA, you can use your national ID too. Everyone else has to use their passport (but those from the EU/EEA can also use their passport, of course).
- Find out how much SIM cards cost in every country, including data-only SIM cards and tourist SIM cards, offered by each mobile operator + information about starter benefits (lookup tool)

Moving on – it is also possible to get a Drei eSIM for an exchange fee of 20 EUR (meaning that you need to purchase a physical Drei SIM card first before swapping it for an eSIM).
You should consider getting a travel eSIM for Austria because they can sometimes be cheaper than getting a SIM card from Drei.
Especially if you get a Europe-wide eSIM or a global eSIM.
I discuss various eSIM options of eSIM providers for Austria in my Austria eSIM buying guide, which are:
- Airalo: Viennetz Mobil (Austria only), Eurolink (39 countries in Europe) & Discover+ (130 countries worldwide + minutes and SMS) – use code DEC15 (15% off – first-time users only) or DEC10 (10% off)
- Alosim: Austria & Europe (32 countries) – use code PTW (5% off – no limits)
- Holafly: Austria & Europe (32 countries) – unlimited data eSIMs which allow for (limited) calls – use code PHONETRAVELWIZ (5% off – no limits)
- Nomad: Austria, Europe (up to 35 countries) & Global (up to 139 countries) – use code ADU123 (3 USD off – first-time users only)
As I said, check out my Austria eSIM buying guide for more information, as I have to continue with Drei for now.

Note that Drei offers VoLTE (Voice over LTE (4G)) if your phone supports it and you have enabled it in the settings.
Oh, you can also use VoWiFi (Voice over WiFi).

My Review – Magenta Telekom (formerly T-Mobile Austria)
I had the chance to try out Drei again in March 2022.
For some reason, I managed to get faster speeds than theoretically allowed (because… you know… Austrian mobile operators throttle prepaid speeds).
So that was interesting 🤔.
Even though Drei has the worst coverage in the country, you should have reception basically everywhere.
You can read my Drei Austria review here.
