Questions about Austria eSIMs
Is a plan worth it for a ski week in Austria?
On a ski week the phone is the group's noticeboard.
Who stopped where for lunch, which lifts are turning and the bus back to the village all live on it, and that is easier on data of your own than on a borrowed password.
What about coverage in the high Austrian valleys?
The coverage list on this page names Austria and goes no further than that.
A valley floor, a ridge and a pass are not on it one by one, so expect nothing above the last village and save what you need lower down.
Can one Austria plan do Vienna and the Alps?
One plan answers for the whole of the country the coverage list names, so there is nothing to switch when you leave the city for the mountains.
What changes is the terrain, not the plan.
Do I need data to reach a mountain hut in Austria?
To ring ahead or read a message from the hut, yes, and that is worth having.
Screenshot the booking as well, because the last stretch of the walk up is no place to find out the app wants a connection.
Will my usual number still ring in Austria?
It will, as long as you leave your own SIM switched on with its data roaming off.
Calls and texts arrive as normal and the data comes from the plan you bought here, so nothing unexpected turns up on the home bill.
Questions about every Ryvo plan
Will it work on my phone?
Does it come with a phone number?
No.
Ryvo eSIMs are data only.
There's no phone number, and you can't make calls or send texts on the eSIM itself.
Can I keep my usual number?
Yes.
Keep your main SIM on for calls and texts, and set the eSIM as your mobile data line.
Your carrier's roaming rates still apply to calls and texts, so check them before you go.
Can I share my data as a hotspot?
It depends on the plan.
Each plan says whether hotspot is allowed before you pay.
What if I run out of data?
Add data from your order page if your plan can be topped up.
If it can't, buy another plan for the same destination.
What if my eSIM won't connect?
Email us and we'll work through it with you, starting with your phone's mobile data settings.
If we can't get it working, our refund policy explains what happens next.
Before you go
Austria and the network behind your plan are both named on the coverage list on this page.
The list stops at the country, so a side valley or a ski route above the tree line is yours to work out.
A lift pass on the phone is one less thing in a pocket, and one more reason to keep the battery alive.
Charge overnight and keep the handset warm between runs.
Evening plans are where a screen earns its place: a table booked, a seat found, a lift home arranged.
Save the addresses before you head out, because a dark street is a poor place to wait for a map.
Keep your usual SIM switched on for calls and texts, and choose the eSIM for mobile data.
