Mobile Phones

How to choose the network

Mobile phones in Austria are usually called Handys. Mobile phone use is high. You can use your Handy wherever you like, even in the Vienna Metro you will have a good signal.

There are many providers in Austria (quite likely more than you would expect in such a small country):

So which provider should you choose?

This is a tricky one. Not only do you have to choose a provider, but also a contract type – and differences are huge. Best approach is to estimate your calling habits and look around what your friends have. If you have just 3 buddies and they all have the same provider – go for it and then you can benefit from low (or even free) rates within the network. It is very easy to know your friend’s provider: just look at their number prefix, as this indicates the provider.

Handsets ( Handys) are very cheap or even for free if you make a contract. For pre-paid cards you have to pay around €25 for an average handset and get the same amount as calling bonus on top. However, pre-paid rates are much higher compared to contracts.
