What it does

What can you do with your Austria eSIM?

A travel eSIM is built for mobile data. You browse and stream like at home, but regular calls and texts work differently than with a normal SIM card.

  • Use mobile data

    Yes

    Your Austria eSIM handles all internet on your phone.

  • Use WhatsApp

    Yes

    Your existing WhatsApp account and number keep working.

  • Call via WhatsApp or FaceTime

    Yes

    These calls run over mobile data, so your Austria eSIM is enough.

  • Keep your own phone number

    Yes

    Your regular SIM card stays active alongside the eSIM.

  • Standard calls and SMS

    Via your own SIM

    Most travel eSIMs are data-only. Regular calls and texts run on your normal SIM.

  • Use as personal hotspot

    Depends on bundle

    Hotspot support varies per bundle and provider. Check the details of the bundle you choose.

Want to stay reachable on your own number? Keep your regular SIM active and use the Austria eSIM only for mobile data.

Why an eSIM is useful in Austria

Coverage in Austria

  • 4G/5G in resorts and towns.
