Do I need a SIM card for Free WiFI in Austria

Upvote:-1

You need no SIM to connect to WiFi anywhere, including Austria.

SMS is wholly different, and does need a SIM.

For travellers who need only to receive messages in foreign lands, why do they have to be TXT or SMS messages?

What would be difficult about using Facebook, for instance?

As for your first question: There's no requirement to have an Austrian number in order to connect to WiFs - at least at all of the places in Austria I've been to recently. I'm connecting without trouble with a UK number. I would expect that any international SIM would work, as there's nothing that ties WiFi with the SIM card.

As for your second question, this depends very much on where your SMS destination country is. Or is it only for inbound? In Austria, I'm using a Yesss SIM card, one of the cheapest providers in Austria. The basic SIM costs EUR 10, that cost includes the SIM and 1000 minutes of voice or 1000 SMS inside Austria for 1 month. International calls are charged as per the list here
