Austria

General Information

 * There are four Austrian cellular operators: A1 Telekom, T-Mobile, Orange, 3 (Drei); in addition there are some resellers (Vectone, S Budget)
 * Incoming calls are free.
 * Plans may distinguish between land-line phone calls, cellular calls with the same operator, cellular calls for other operators, and special-priced numbers.
 * Each operator has a default prefix but numbers may be ported to other operators. Until the first of july 2012, for ported numbers there is a free-of-charge message about the current operator before the call gets patched trough.

bob (Belonging to A1 Telekom Austria)



 * Default prefix: 0680

Default data rate

 * € 4 / 1 GB
 * there is no charge if you do not use the SIM. You are only charged for each 1 GB segment (or once per month if you just use a bit of data each month)

Availabilty
In post offices, Metro, Saturn, MediaMarkt, Niedermeyer, Libro, Schlecker and Hartlauer shops and online.

SIM sizes
Standard sim, Micro sim and Nano sim

Remarks
You will need an Austrian bank account in order to enable the "bob breitband" data plan, which is not a big problem actually, since foreigners are still welcome to open bank accounts in Austria. However, bank charges are usually applicable.

Although "bob breitband" is marketed as a data-only plan, voice calls are possible at a fairly competitive rate (7¢ per minute / 15¢ per SMS).

Your mobile device will receive a RFC 1918 IP address so your mobile device will not easily be reachable from the internet. Tethering is possible.
