Best for: Red Bull-brand users who want 37 GB EU on the A1 network. 60 GB Austrian data, 100/50 Mbps, 5G.
How does the EU fair-use limit work?
Under the EU Roam Like at Home regulation, providers may apply a fair-use limit to roaming data. The exact cap is calculated from your plan price and the wholesale roaming rate set by the European Commission. A 70 GB Austrian plan therefore caps EU roaming at the calculated fair-use number rather than 70 GB. Beyond the cap, you usually pay a small per-GB surcharge (currently capped by the EU at around EUR 1.55/GB in 2026), so you do not lose access. Calls and SMS within the EU are charged at your domestic rate while you are abroad.
Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Norway, and Iceland sit inside the EU Roam Like at Home zone. The United Kingdom left the zone after Brexit; most Austrian providers either include the UK in the EU bucket or charge a similar low rate. Outside the EEA and UK, A1 and Magenta sell separate world packs at fixed daily rates.

Frequently asked questions about EU roaming
Which Austrian SIM has the most EU roaming data in 2026?
A1 SIMply L has the largest EU bucket at 48 GB per month, paired with unlimited domestic data on the A1 network for EUR 24.90 (A1 customer price). The next-largest are bob Flex bob with 45 GB at EUR 9.90, A1 SIMply M with 41 GB, Magenta Mobile Sim Only Unlimited with 40 GB, and KLAX Unlimited prepaid with 39 GB.
Why do unlimited Austrian plans still have an EU data cap?
Under the EU Roam Like at Home regulation, providers may apply a fair-use limit to roaming data to prevent permanent roaming. The exact cap is calculated from the plan price and the wholesale roaming rate set by the European Commission. A 70 GB Austrian plan therefore caps EU roaming at the calculated fair-use number rather than 70 GB.
Is bob Flex bob really the best value for EU roaming?
Yes for most travellers. bob Flex bob's 45 GB EU bucket at EUR 9.90/month is the highest EU-data-per-euro on the market in 2026. The runner-up is Lidl Connect Tarif XL 5G at EUR 14.50/30d with 22 GB. Everything else with 40+ GB EU is in the EUR 21-30 range.
Can I use my Austrian SIM in non-EU countries like Switzerland or the UK?
Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Norway, and Iceland sit inside the EU Roam Like at Home zone and use the same fair-use bucket. The United Kingdom left the zone after Brexit; most Austrian providers either include the UK in the EU bucket or charge a similar low rate. Outside the EEA and UK, A1 and Magenta sell separate world packs at fixed daily rates.
