Can I use my regular phone number with an Austria eSIM?

Yes, you can. An eSIM acts as a separate data plan. Your regular phone number, used for calls and texts via your primary SIM or existing eSIM profile, will remain active. You can typically choose to use the eSIM data for internet access while keeping your main number for communication.

Which network operator does REDX Travel use in Austria?

REDX Travel partners with established network providers in Austria to ensure reliable coverage. While specific network partners can vary by plan, you can generally expect good service across the country, including major cities and tourist destinations.

How much data do I need for a week in Austria?

For a typical week-long trip where you're using navigation, social media, and occasional streaming, a plan with 1GB per day is often sufficient. If you plan on heavy video streaming or downloading large files, consider a higher data allowance.

What happens if I run out of data?

If you exhaust your data allowance before your plan expires, you'll typically stop being able to access the internet. You can usually top up your data or purchase a new plan through your eSIM provider's app or website to continue using data services.

Is 5G available with eSIMs in Austria?

5G availability depends on your device's compatibility and the network infrastructure in your specific location within Austria. While 5G is expanding, especially in urban centres, most travel eSIMs will provide reliable high-speed data access through 4G/LTE networks across the country.

Can I use my eSIM for calls and texts?

Your eSIM plan is primarily for data. While some plans might include calling or texting bundles, they generally do not replace your existing SIM's calling and texting capabilities. You'll use your primary number for standard calls and texts, and data for services like WhatsApp.
