How to get your phone or Internet plan

Select the best plan for you and request a SIM card:

Take your pick from a wide range of mobile phone and mobile Internet plans. Choose between a prepaid SIM card or plan with convenient online registration. Both with no minimum contract period. Then choose between a physical SIM card or eSIM (if you have an eSIM-compatible device).

Note: You will need your ID number and bank account details to place your online order.

After your place your online order, you will receive your Georg SIM card by regular mail free of shipping charges.

If you do not want to place a free order through our online shop, you can also buy a SIM card at any MediaMarkt store.

Activate your SIM card

  • Step 1: Insert the SIM card into your device (phone, tablet, cube, etc.)
  • Step 2: Switch your device on
  • Step 3: Enter the PIN code (see the SIM cutout card)

Note: There is a different activation process for your eSIM, which is described in detail here (in German).

Activate Internet access

You need to make the following settings on your smartphone or tablet before you can surf the Internet with Georg:

  • Profile name: WebAPN
  • APN: webapn.at
  • User name: (leave blank)
  • Password: (leave blank)

If you have any questions about your device, please consult the user’s manual because we are unable to provide individual support with the large number of different manufacturers, models, and operating system versions.

Tip for Android users: You may need to activate the "Data Roaming" function on your device to be able to access the Internet.

For prepaid customers: Register

If you chose a prepaid SIM card, you must now register your card. You can do this quickly and easily at many different places:

  • At any MediaMarkt shop
  • Anywhere you see this sign, e.g. at post offices, A1 shops, Hartlauer, and mobile phone shops
  • Online here using an Austrian mobile phone signature or with your online banking account (participating banks: Erste Bank, Bank Austria, Volksbanken, and Hypo Bank)

NOTE: Please bring official photo ID with you (passport, national ID card, or driving licence)!

If you do not register your prepaid SIM card, you will not be able to use mobile communication services (aside from emergency calls). Your initial credit will also be unavailable until you complete the registration process. Unfortunately, it is not possible to register a prepaid SIM card outside of Austria.
