eSIM vs Local SIM in Vienna
For Kiwi travellers, a HelloRoam eSIM is generally cheaper than buying a local SIM on arrival or using an international add-on from a New Zealand carrier.
| Category | HelloRoam Recommended | Austrian local SIM (A1/Magenta/Drei) | Carrier roaming |
|---|---|---|---|
| Typical cost | From NZ$3.79 total | NZ$8.58–NZ$42.92 total | NZ$8.58–NZ$25.75/day |
| Details | Buy before you leave. Instant setup with a QR code scan. Active on arrival at VIE Airport. Fixed prepaid rate with no surprise charges. Works across Austria and neighboring EU countries if you day-trip to Bratislava or Budapest. | Prepaid SIMs from A1, Magenta, and Drei are available at airport shops and supermarkets (Billa, Spar) for around EUR 10 to 20. Registration requires ID at some retailers. Useful for long stays but requires more setup time than an eSIM. | US carrier international day passes for Austria cost NZD 10 per day. A ten-day Vienna visit costs NZD 100 in data charges. Most US plans include a small data cap before throttling to 2G speeds, which breaks navigation and streaming. |
Prices approximate as of . Actual savings vary.

On a trip to Europe, my hotel Wi-Fi was so slow and outside Wi-Fi was unreliable. I couldn’t take it anymore so I got helloroam for a few days. It was tricky to set up correctly because of the primary settings (with my original number). But I reached out to their customer service via WhatsApp. Super responsive and helpful, with specific and clear steps to troubleshoot. Appreciate having 4G roaming instead of being stuck with in and out Wi-Fi during my trip!!
Rated 5 out of 5 by this reviewer
Very good experience! The eSIM was easy to set up and worked great in London. It was much cheaper than it would have been to use my own operator there.
