That's true prepaid (Wertkarte) is still anonymous in Austria. There is no registration necessary. You can get them in the stores specified in the article or on eBay.de This is going to change in January 2019 when a registration scheme like in some other countries will  be implemented and you need to show your ID documents for activation. But you will be still able to buy a prepaid SIM card as a non-resident.

The story is different if you want to have a postpaid contract. For this - like in most countries - you need to be resident with a local address. That's why we only show prepaid here.
