Prepaid Mobile Data Plan in Austria (EU)

When we decided to visit Austria last May, I did some research online on how can we stay online at the lowest cost. Celcom was offering RM38/day which is expensive, RM28/day for 500MB, still high side, until I stumble on the news of NO MORE ROAMING CHARGES within EU.

YES you heard it right, EU has abolished their roaming charges within the 28 countries of the European Union 😃 since July 2017. This is indeed a very good news to us🙏!!

A1 B.free Prepaid Data Plan Packaging

I would high recommend "A1 B.free Internet Welcome Package" which gave you 5GB for 30 days at only 9.90euro (which is less than RM50😘). It comes with both normal and nano sim, and you can just plug and play in any of the dual sim phone.

FAQ:

1. Where to buy this? Supermarket, Post office, Stationery Shop or A1 around Austria
2. How long will it last? It lasted us 10 days in 4 countries (Austria,  Germany, Slovenia and Zagreb)
3. How do you top up? I am not sure as we did not it but the shop keeper said you can do it online 
4. Any extra roaming charges? We did not incur any 😀
5. Extra Tips: Just make sure you snapshot the pin number (as below) as sometimes as you cross border, you will be prompt to enter the PIN again before the mobile data works again.
