eSIM for Austria 🇦🇹
Austria eSIMs deliver connectivity across the Alps and cities via QR activation. Before arrival, confirm your phone is eSIM-compatible (iPhone XS or newer, most 2019+ Androids) and not carrier-locked. After landing, enable data roaming in settings — the profile activates on first network connection, typically within 60 seconds.

FAQ
Do I need to activate the eSIM before or after arriving in Austria?
You can scan the QR code before departure, but the profile will only activate once your phone connects to a local Austrian network. For best results, complete the scan at home, then switch on the eSIM line upon landing.
Will my phone automatically connect to a network in Austria after landing?
Yes, if data roaming is enabled for the eSIM line. Go to Settings > Cellular/Mobile Data > select the eSIM > enable Data Roaming. The connection establishes within seconds of registering on a network being available.
Can I use my Austrian eSIM in other European countries?
That depends on the specific data plan you purchased. Many Austria-focused eSIMs include EU roaming, but not all. Check the plan details in your KodShop order confirmation before travel.
What should I do if my eSIM doesn't work after landing?
First, confirm that Data Roaming is ON and that the eSIM line is selected for data. Next, restart your phone. If it still doesn't connect, manually search for networks in Settings and select a network. Contact KodShop support if issues persist beyond 5 minutes.
Is there any special setting needed for calls or SMS in Austria?
Most Austria eSIMs are data-only — calls and SMS are not included. Use VoIP apps (WhatsApp, Telegram) for voice. If your plan does include a local number, ensure 'Cellular Data' and 'Default Voice Line' are both set to the eSIM.
