You do not get a new phone number with this eSIM.
Setting up your eSIM? The installation and activation guide walks through it step by step, and the full FAQ covers device compatibility, hotspot, dual SIM and topping up.
One plan covers the whole country, so the same eSIM works in Vienna and Salzburg and up in the Tyrol around Innsbruck and the ski resorts. Install it before you travel, switch off airplane mode on arrival, and you are connected right away.
The eSIM connects automatically when you turn off airplane mode at Vienna (VIE), Salzburg (SZG) or Innsbruck (INN). Your CAT or City Airport Train, ride app and maps are ready before you reach the platform.
Austria's networks - A1, Magenta and Drei - deliver strong 4G/5G across the cities and far into the alpine valleys, including the main ski areas. Coverage is dependable on the scenic rail routes, thinning only on the highest peaks and most remote backcountry, so save offline maps for off-piste days.
The same eSIM keeps you online in the ski resorts of the Tyrol, Salzburgerland and Vorarlberg, on the Salzburg city break, and on the scenic trains through the Arlberg and the Semmering. Austria is in the EU, but a dedicated plan keeps a non-EU visitor’s costs predictable.
Yes. Coverage is excellent for an alpine country - strong in the resort towns and valleys and on the lifts in the main ski areas. The highest peaks and remote backcountry can drop out.
Yes. You stay online on the main scenic rail routes and throughout Salzburg and the other cities, with brief dips only in the longest tunnels.
5G is widely available in Vienna and the other cities, with strong 4G/LTE elsewhere - plenty for maps, streaming and video calls.
