Coverage and networks

Austria has three major networks: A1 Telekom, Magenta Telekom and Drei. A1 has the broadest coverage, especially in the countryside and the Alps, with around 98 percent 4G coverage. In cities like Vienna, Salzburg and Innsbruck, coverage and 5G are excellent. In high-altitude ski areas and deep mountain valleys the signal can vary, although the operators invest heavily in alpine routes. Networks: A1 Telekom, Magenta Telekom, Drei.

For a city trip, 3 to 5 GB is enough. For a ski or hiking holiday with a lot of maps and photos, it is better to choose 10 GB or more.

Austria is part of the EU, so your home plan works there under the roam-like-at-home rules without a surcharge.
