Which spusu plan is best in Austria in 2026?

Which spusu plan is best for you in 2026?

Cheapest entry · Best value · Heavy data · Unlimited tier

For most Austrians, Spusu 10 at EUR 8.90/month is the right pick — 40 GB data, 2,000 minutes, 1,000 SMS, free EU calls and 16 GB EU roaming, with no minimum term. Light users take Spusu 1 at EUR 4.90/month (1 GB), the cheapest real Austrian tariff. Heavy users move up to Spusu 12.000 at EUR 11.90/month for 80 GB, or Spusu Unlimited at EUR 22.90/month for uncapped data on 5G.

Source: spusu.at tariff pages, verified May 2026. All plans run on Drei radio with no minimum term and no annual price rise.

The pricing curve is uncommonly smooth: where A1, Magenta and Drei publish three or four flagship contracts, spusu's grid runs in EUR-1 increments — pick the cheapest tier that fits your usage instead of overpaying. Spusu 3 at EUR 5.90 is the inflection point, unlocking free EU calling. From Spusu 10 upward, minute and SMS allowances suit everyday household use.

All spusu plans: no minimum term, no annual price rise, no activation fee after switching. data.trans.fair rolls over up to 10 GB of unused inland data.

How is spusu's network (Drei host) in Austria?

Drei radio · LTE on every plan · 5G on Unlimited and add-on tiers

spusu rides the Drei (Hutchison Drei Austria, H3G) network for radio. Drei runs the third Austrian MNO infrastructure alongside A1 and Magenta, with strong urban density in Vienna, Graz, Linz and Salzburg. spusu customers see the same towers and outdoor 4G coverage as direct Drei subscribers — at roughly half the published list price.

Coverage tracks Drei's reach: roughly 99% of the population on LTE, with weaker rural reach than A1 in remote Alpine valleys. RTR's 2025 mobile-network quality report shows Drei trailing A1 on outdoor rural latency but matching it on city throughput. ÖBB Railjet corridors (Wien – Salzburg – Innsbruck) are LTE-covered end-to-end; signal drops only on deep tunnel sections.

5G access is the one place the price curve bites: tariffs up to Spusu 12.000 are LTE-only. To get 5G NSA on Drei's 3.5 GHz layer you need Spusu Unlimited (EUR 22.90/month). LTE peaks of 100–250 Mbit/s on Drei comfortably cover streaming and video-call workloads.

How much does spusu cost compared to bob, yesss! and HoT?

spusu · bob · yesss! · HoT compared on price-per-GB

Across the four mainstream Austrian MVNOs, spusu is the cheapest at every data tier. At the 40 GB band, Spusu 10 (EUR 8.90) undercuts HoT fix EUR 9.90, yesss! SIMple M EUR 9.99 and bob Flex EUR 9.90. On EU calls, spusu is the only one to include them inland-to-EU for free from EUR 5.90/month. Networks differ — spusu rides Drei, bob/yesss! ride A1, HoT rides Magenta.

Read by use case: if you actually burn 100 GB monthly and don't call EU numbers, bob Flex bob on A1 is the better volume buy. If you call family across Germany, Italy or Croatia, spusu's free EU calls save EUR 10–20/month. HoT is the only one of the four with Hofer supermarket retail and physical top-up vouchers.

Why is spusu so much cheaper than A1, Magenta and Drei?

MVNO economics · Wholesale access · Lean ops · Direct distribution

spusu is an MVNO — Mass Response Service GmbH (Wiener Neudorf) buys wholesale capacity from Drei (H3G Austria) rather than building radio infrastructure. That skips the heavy spectrum and tower capex line, enables a lean digital sales channel, and lets spusu pass roughly half the saving back as headline price.

Three structural factors drive the discount. First, the wholesale bitstream contract with Drei is priced per-GB at scale, far below Drei's retail markup. Second, Mass Response runs billing, support and provisioning on its own software stack with a fraction of MNO headcount. Third, spusu sells online or through SIM kiosks rather than branded retail shops — no shop rent, no dealer commission.

The trade-off: you give up retail walk-in service, handset financing and TV bundles. In exchange, the per-GB cost is the lowest of any Austrian operator. RTR's 2025 reports show MVNOs at ~15.7% of consumer SIMs and growing; MNOs run their own discount sub-brands (bob, yesss! from A1, HoT from Magenta) to capture the segment without cannibalising main-brand ARPU.

What are the pros and cons of spusu?

Cheapest mainstream MVNO in Austria · Drei trade-off

spusu's pros stack heavily: lowest entry price in Austria, granular tariff grid, free EU calls, data rollover and no minimum term. The cons are mostly about network host — Drei is the third-strongest of the three Austrian MNOs in rural and Alpine terrain — and about 5G access, which is gated to the highest tier.

How do you sign up for spusu in Austria?

5 steps · 5–15 minutes · RTR-compliant ID check

Sign-up is online and takes 5–15 minutes. You need a valid passport or Austrian ID for the RTR-mandated identity check (compulsory on every Austrian SIM since 2019), a payment method (SEPA direct debit or card), and an Austrian delivery address for the triple-SIM. eSIM activates by QR code in minutes; physical SIM ships within 1–3 working days.

Should you pick spusu or HoT, bob, or yesss!?

Decision rules by use case · Network and feature trade-offs

Pick by the bottleneck that matters most. spusu wins on price, granular tiers and EU calling. bob wins on EU roaming volume (45 GB) and A1 network. HoT wins on supermarket retail and Magenta urban coverage. yesss! sits between bob and spusu on A1 with unlimited inland minutes from EUR 9.99.

• Pick spusu if: you want the lowest monthly bill in Austria, you call EU numbers regularly, you live in a city or along the Drei coverage corridor, and you don't need supermarket walk-in service.
• Pick bob (A1) if: you travel inside the EU 5+ weeks a year and want a 45 GB roaming cap, or you live in a rural Alpine area where A1's rural reach beats Drei's.
• Pick HoT (Magenta) if: you top up at Hofer and value the in-store retail channel, or you live in Vienna where Magenta's urban density is strongest.
• Pick yesss! (A1) if: you want unlimited inland minutes/SMS on the A1 network and don't need EU-call inclusion. The flat data caps suit power users.

On network: A1 leads Opensignal's Coverage Experience at 8.4/10 (Q1 2025), with Magenta and Drei trailing. The gap is real in rural Tirol, Vorarlberg and Carinthia; in cities and along motorways the three networks are effectively equivalent.
