- Android version: Android 9 or newer typically supports eSIM, though it depends on the manufacturer.
- Region-specific variants: some Samsung models sold in Hong Kong or China are dual physical SIM with no eSIM , verify your specific model number.

It depends. Austria is in the EU, so "Roam Like at Home" applies only to EU citizens.
- If you are from the UK (Post-Brexit): Most UK carriers (like O2, Vodafone, Three) have reintroduced daily roaming fees (e.g., £2-£6 per day).
- If you are from the USA/Canada/Asia: Your home carrier will charge expensive international rates (e.g., $10-$14 per day).
A eSIM Routes eSIM is a one-time prepaid fee that is significantly cheaper than these roaming charges.
This specific plan is valid only within Austria (or, if it's a regional plan, you'd say "Yes"). This is the most important question for "Euro-trip" travelers.
- For Germany/Italy/Hungary (EU): Your connection will stop at the border unless you buy our Europe Regional eSIM.
- For Switzerland (non-EU): This is a major roaming trap. You must get our Europe Regional eSIM that explicitly includes Switzerland, or you will face massive fees.
