eSIM for Austria 🇦🇹
Austria eSIMs get you online across the Alps and the cities via QR activation. Before you fly, 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 the first network connection, usually 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 only activates once your phone hits a local Austrian network. Best bet: scan at home, then switch on the eSIM line after you land.
Will my phone automatically connect to a network in Austria after landing?
Yes, as long as data roaming is on for the eSIM line. Go to Settings > Cellular/Mobile Data > select the eSIM > enable Data Roaming. It connects within seconds once a network is in range.
Can I use my Austrian eSIM in other European countries?
Depends on the plan you bought. Many Austria eSIMs include EU roaming, but not all. Check the plan details in your KodShop order confirmation before you travel.
What should I do if my eSIM doesn't work after landing?
First, confirm Data Roaming is on and the eSIM line is selected for data. Then restart your phone. Still nothing? Search for networks manually in Settings and pick one. Contact KodShop support if it's still down after 5 minutes.
Is there any special setting needed for calls or SMS in Austria?
Most Austria eSIMs are data-only, so calls and SMS aren't included. Use VoIP apps (WhatsApp, Telegram) for voice. If your plan does include a local number, set both 'Cellular Data' and 'Default Voice Line' to the eSIM.
