Where your free eSIM works in Austria

Strong 4G/5G across the cities and neighbourhoods most travellers actually visit.

  • Vienna

    U-Bahn lines U1–U4 are fitted with in-tunnel antennas; U6 is mostly above ground.

    • Innere Stadt
    • Neubau
    • Leopoldstadt
    • Mariahilf

  • Salzburg

    Compact UNESCO core walkable in 90 min — Festung Hohensalzburg funicular keeps signal to the top.

    • Altstadt
    • Mülln
    • Nonntal

  • Innsbruck

    Nordkette cable car: 5G at the Hungerburg base, weak at Hafelekar (2,256 m) — usual alpine pattern.

    • Altstadt
    • Wilten
    • Saggen

  • Hallstatt

    Reliable 4G around the village despite the steep lakeshore — Wachau valley cruises stay online via riverbank masts.

    • Marktplatz
    • Salzbergwerk
    • Beinhaus

What to install before you land in Austria

The eSIM gets you online — these are the local apps it unlocks the moment you arrive.

  • ÖBB

    Railjet, Nightjet and regional tickets in one app — real-time platform changes and Sparschiene saver fares.

  • Wiener Linien

    Vienna U-Bahn + tram + bus tickets; the 72-hour pass is the cheapest way to do the Ringstrasse loop.

  • Bolt / Free Now

    Both run in Vienna + Graz + Salzburg; Bolt usually undercuts Free Now on weekdays.

  • Komoot

    Better than Google Maps for the Salzkammergut hut-to-hut routes — pre-cache regions before losing signal above 2,500 m.

Free eSIM for Austria FAQs by co:sim

Everything you need to know about the free new-user eSIM offer.

Does the free eSIM work on the Vienna U-Bahn?
Yes — Wiener Linien fitted U1–U4 with in-tunnel antennas; 4G stays alive between stations. U6 runs mostly above ground and is naturally covered.
Will it work on the Railjet to Salzburg or Innsbruck?
Yes. ÖBB + A1 finished trackside coverage on the Westbahn corridor in 2022. Expect stable 4G at 230 km/h with brief drops in the Wienerwald and Arlberg tunnels.
How is coverage in alpine ski resorts?
A1 5G covers major Ski Amadé, Kitzbühel and Arlberg areas. Smaller resorts like Hochzillertal offer 4G at base stations but spotty service on higher lifts — pre-cache offline maps.
What about long alpine tunnels and the Grossglockner road?
Long road tunnels (Arlberg, Felbertauern, Tauern) are mostly signal-dead. On the Grossglockner High Alpine Road the eSIM reconnects within seconds at each overlook between tunnel sections.
Who's eligible for the free eSIM?
New users who have not previously claimed a free eSIM. Eligibility is verified at checkout.
Will I be charged anything?
$0 is charged for the free eSIM. A valid card is collected at checkout for verification only — this prevents the same person claiming multiple free eSIMs. You only pay if you choose to top up later.
How long is the free eSIM valid?
Install and activate the eSIM within 30 days after purchase. Once activated, the free plan is valid for 7 days from your first connection. After that, top up anytime to extend the validity — the same eSIM keeps working.
Can I top up or buy more data after?
Yes. Top up the same eSIM with any paid plan at any time — your data and validity extend instantly, no reinstall required. You can also buy plans for any of our 190+ other destinations.
Can I claim the free eSIM again?
No. This free eSIM is a new-user offer, so it can only be claimed once.
How does the free plan compare to paid plans?
Same high-quality network coverage. Paid plans offer more data and longer validity — and you can top up onto your free eSIM at any time.
