Yesss, HoT, Magenta, Drei. Prepaid €10/mo with 30 GB is the student standard. Bring your Meldezettel to register the SIM (post-2023 anti-anonymity law).
BAWAG, Erste, easybank — all offer free student-giro. Bring passport, Meldezettel, university enrolment confirmation. ID-checking can be done online via N26 / Revolut if your bank visit is delayed.
Self-insurance for students is €78.84/mo (2026, up from €73.48). Apply within 3 months of inscription so coverage backdates to your enrolment. Required for the residence permit too. Covers treatment only — no sick pay.

В цифровой цене учтена скидка €6, действующая только один год. Право имеет любой моложе 26 лет — статус студента больше не нужен. С 26 лет — обычный годовой билет: €461 цифровой / €467.
