Plan size
How much data do you need?
Pick your travel style and trip length — we'll suggest the right Austria plan, no guessing.
Yes. Major ski resorts including Kitzbühel, St. Anton, Zell am See, Ischgl, and Lech have 4G at all lift bases and most summit stations. High-altitude off-piste areas may thin to 3G.
Does the eSIM work in Hallstatt?
Yes. Hallstatt village and the lakeside promenade have excellent 4G. The salt mine above the village has 4G at the entrance; interior mine coverage varies.
Is there 5G in Vienna?
Yes. Vienna has city-wide 5G from A1 and Magenta. All metro (U-Bahn) stations, Ring Road attractions, and Vienna Airport are 5G-covered. Speeds typically 300–900 Mbps.
Does this eSIM work on ÖBB trains between Vienna and Innsbruck?
Yes. The ÖBB Railjet and Westbahn services have 4G throughout the Vienna–Salzburg–Innsbruck corridor. Brief signal dips occur in the Arlberg mountain tunnels.
What plug type does Austria use?
Austria uses Type F (Schuko, 2 round pins with earth clips). All EU plugs (Type C) also fit. US travellers need a Type F adapter.
What is an eSIM?
An eSIM (embedded SIM) is a digital SIM built into your phone. Instead of a physical card, you scan a QR code and your plan installs instantly — no SIM tray needed.
Is my phone eSIM-compatible?
iPhone XS (2018) and newer, most Android flagships from 2020+, and all Samsung Galaxy S21+ devices support eSIM. Check our compatibility page for the full device list.
How do I install the eSIM?
After purchase, we email a QR code. On iPhone: Settings → Cellular → Add eSIM → Scan QR Code. On Android: Settings → Network & Internet → SIMs → Add eSIM. The whole process takes under 60 seconds.
Can I keep my regular SIM while using this eSIM?
Yes. Most phones support dual SIM (physical + eSIM). Keep your home number for calls and SMS — use Flysimio for data abroad. You control which SIM handles what in your phone Settings.
Does the eSIM include a hotspot (tethering)?
Yes, all Flysimio plans include mobile hotspot at no extra charge. Share your data connection with laptops, tablets, or other devices freely.
What happens when my data runs out?
You can top up data from your account dashboard at any time. Top-ups are applied instantly — no need to buy a new eSIM or wait.
Can I get a refund?
Yes. We offer a full refund within 7 days of purchase. Contact contact@flysimio.com with your order number.
How long is the eSIM valid for?
You have 6 months from your purchase date to activate the eSIM. Once activated, the plan validity period (e.g., 7 days, 30 days) begins counting down.
Will the eSIM work at the airport when I land?
Yes — as long as you installed the eSIM before your flight, it activates automatically when your phone connects to a local network on landing. No Wi-Fi required for activation.
What if the QR code doesn't scan?
If the QR code won't scan, you can enter the activation code manually — we include both in the email. You can also contact our 24/7 support team and we'll resend or manually provision your eSIM.
eSIM in Austria
The complete guide.
Best eSIM for travel to Austria
The best Austria eSIM combines strong alpine coverage, clear pricing, and instant setup. Flysimio runs on A1, Magenta, and Drei — with A1 known for installing transmitters high in the ski resorts, covering Vienna, Salzburg, and Innsbruck plus slopes at St. Anton, Kitzbühel, and Zell am See — and 5G in all the major cities. Plans are prepaid with no contract and no roaming bill surprises: choose your data, pay once, done. Your QR code arrives by email seconds after checkout and installs in under a minute, every plan includes free mobile hotspot, and a 7-day money-back guarantee has you covered. Land at Vienna already connected and skip the airport SIM counter entirely.
How to set up an Austria eSIM (step by step)
Getting online in Austria takes about two minutes. First, confirm your phone supports eSIM — iPhone XS (2018) and newer and most Android flagships from 2020 qualify. Choose your Austria plan on Flysimio and pay with card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay; your QR code arrives by email within seconds. On Wi-Fi before you fly, open Settings → Cellular → Add eSIM (iPhone) or Network & Internet → SIMs → Add eSIM (Android) and scan it — a manual code is included too. Keep your home line as default until arrival. When you land at Vienna, Salzburg, or Innsbruck, your Flysimio line connects automatically to an Austrian network — no kiosk, no physical SIM, no queue.
How much data do you need in Austria?
Most travellers over-buy. For maps, messaging, and email, roughly 300 MB a day is plenty, so a 3–5 GB plan covers a week in Vienna comfortably. Add social media, alpine photos, and music and you'll want about 700 MB a day — a 10 GB plan suits a two-week trip taking in the cities and the mountains. Heavy streamers, video callers, and anyone tethering a laptop should plan for 1.5 GB or more per day or choose an unlimited daily plan. Good news for skiers: the major resorts have 4G right at the lifts, so you can share the slopes live — just note high off-piste bowls thin out. Use the calculator above to size it, and top up mid-trip if you run low.
Using an Austria eSIM on iPhone and Android
Flysimio runs as a second line beside your usual SIM, so you keep your home number for calls and texts while your Austrian data flows over the eSIM — standard dual-SIM behaviour on iPhone XS and later and most Android phones from 2018. After installing, set the Flysimio eSIM as your cellular-data line and turn on Data Roaming for that line only; it simply lets the eSIM connect to Austrian networks, with no roaming fees. Keep your home SIM on for messages and calls, or switch it off to avoid your own carrier's charges. If you're unsure about your model, the compatibility page confirms it before you buy.
Hotspot, calls, and texts on an Austria data eSIM
Every Flysimio Austria plan includes mobile hotspot at no extra cost and without throttling, so you can tether a laptop or tablet or share with a travel companion and use your full allowance freely — handy on long ÖBB Railjet rides between Vienna, Salzburg, and Innsbruck. As a data-only eSIM it has no Austrian phone number, but that rarely matters: WhatsApp, FaceTime, Messenger, and Google Meet handle calls and messages over data, and your home number stays reachable on your primary SIM. You keep costs predictable and skip the per-minute charges of traditional roaming.
Short Austria trips vs. long stays
For a weekend in Vienna or a quick ski break, a small 1–5 GB plan on a 7-day validity is the most economical choice. For a two-week trip taking in the cities and the Alps or a full ski week, a 10–20 GB plan or an unlimited daily option lets you navigate, stream, and work without watching a meter. Because Flysimio gives you six months to activate, you can buy before you leave and the validity only starts when your eSIM first connects in Austria. No contract, nothing to cancel — the plan stops when it's done, and you can top up or rebuy for your next trip.
