Updated June 2026. The cheapest prepaid SIM card in Austria is **spusu S** at **EUR 4.90/month** (2 GB, unlimited calls, EU roaming on the Drei network). For 5 GB on the Magenta network, **HoT** costs **EUR 5.90/month** and is sold in every Hofer supermarket. For the best coverage in rural Austria and the Alps, **yesss!** and **bob** both run on the **A1 network** at **EUR 7.90/month** with 8 GB. All prepaid plans include EU roaming and can be activated without an Austrian address.

## How does the score work?

Each plan receives sub-scores on four axes, then a weighted average produces the headline match number out of 100. The weighting reflects what Austrian mobile users consistently rank most decision-relevant:

- **Price (35%)**: monthly cost versus your stated budget. Plans over your cap drop sharply.
- **Data value (30%)**: GB included versus your stated monthly data need. Unlimited data scores full marks here.
- **Network fit (15%)**: matches your preferred operator. Set to "Any" and this axis cannot drag a plan down.
- **Feature match (20%)**: EU roaming, eSIM support, profile fit (newcomer, student, resident, tourist), and English customer support availability.
