AUSTRIA ESIM FAQ
Everything clear before you connect
Which eSIM for Austria is right for me?
AlpenPass, from Telefonía_MX, if you want per-GB plans: it is data only, on the T-Mobile and A1 5G networks, with unlimited hotspot; it is rechargeable and you can install it up to 60 days ahead.
It covers Austria only. If you also go to other countries in Europe, see the regional eSIMs in eSIM for Europe.
Can I use my phone as a hotspot?
Yes. AlpenPass include unlimited hotspot: you can share internet with other devices; usage comes out of the plan data. They are data only: they do not include a local number or regular calls, but WhatsApp still works with your usual number.
Is unlimited or per GB the better fit?
AlpenPass only offers per-GB plans, with no unlimited option.
Choose a per-GB plan based on the days and the data you expect to use on your trip to Austria. If you still have questions, Lia can help you choose.
How much data do I need for my trip to Austria?
For maps and messaging over a few days, a small per-GB plan is usually enough. If you use social apps and some video, pick a larger plan. If you upload photos or video every day or use hotspot, choose more data from the start.
Each product page lists the plans and their validity. If you still have questions, Lia can help you choose.
Which network does it use, and is there 5G?
AlpenPass connects to T-Mobile and A1 with 5G technology. 5G depends on local coverage and on your phone being compatible; if there is no 5G, the network offers 4G where available.
The eSIM covers Austria only, including each network’s coverage in cities such as Innsbruck, Salzburg and Vienna.
Can I recharge if I stay more days?
AlpenPass is rechargeable: when the validity ends you can recharge from the link in the delivery email; you have up to 60 days to do it before the eSIM is deactivated.
When do I install my eSIM and how do I receive it?
You get the QR instantly by email. Install it before you travel over Wi-Fi: up to 60 days ahead with AlpenPass. Installing does not start the validity; the days count from the first connection to a network in Austria.
Your usual SIM can stay in the phone. If there is an issue with the QR, there is a 72-hour guarantee.
Does it work if I go to Innsbruck, Salzburg and Vienna, or to a nearby country?
Yes. Innsbruck, Salzburg and Vienna are in Austria, and the eSIM covers it. They do not cover other countries.
If you also go to Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary, a regional eSIM or an eSIM for that country is a better fit. Start with eSIM for Europe.
