Hi people,

have decided to escape back to the mainland again next year (they abviously didnt learn last time!), this time austria, am looking again to pick up pre paid sim card for as many of the operators as i can (both proper and MVNO networks, any ideas where i can pick up the main network sim cards such as three, one, a1 etc.....?

any help and advice would be greatly appreciated.

The cards from the MNO can be bought from their respective stores. Where excactly are you going? In Vienna you can buy all of them within 1 km radius.

About the MVNO:
- Yesss can be bought from "Hofer" supermarkets.
- Tele2 can be bought at the following stores: Billa, Cosmos, Niedermeyer, Libro, Jet (petrol stations), Pagro and Donauland
- Cosmos sells Eety as well, you can check for more stores here: www.eety.at/kunde.php
- Schwarzfunk can only be bought online, if they are still selling those card at all

excellent, am going to vienna, well never been there before..... and will be mainly texting the uk and local land line calls...sorry should have put that in the first post....oops

Then eety is your choice.
Specially made for calling abroad.

Austria 9ct on network, 19ct all other networks
UK is 12.7 ct to landlines and 31.6 ct to mobiles
SMS to all countries 9ct
