Temporary Austria Phone Number — +43 SMS Verification

Get an Austria Phone Number Online

TempNumber.me provides temporary Austrian phone numbers with genuine +43 prefixes from A1 Telekom Austria, Magenta Telekom, and Drei carrier ranges, along with MVNO ranges from HoT, spusu, yesss!, and Bob. These numbers receive SMS verification codes from willhaben, Lieferando Austria, Zalando AT, WhatsApp, and over 1,000 other platforms that send to Austrian numbers.

You do not need to live in Austria, hold an Austrian address, or own a local SIM card. Numbers are activated in your browser from any country. Pricing is credit-based — pay per activation, no subscription.

One limit to know before you buy: ID Austria, FinanzOnline, and Austrian bank apps require identity enrollment with a passport or ID card. A temporary number will not get you through those. It works for marketplace, delivery, retail, and app sign-ups.

Austria Mobile Number Format and Carrier Prefix Ranges

Austrian mobile numbers start with 06 in local format, followed by a network prefix and a subscriber number that is usually 7 digits — for example, 0664 XXX XXXX. In international format the leading 0 is dropped: +43 664 XXX XXXX. Austria has three network operators and a crowded MVNO market that rides on their infrastructure.

• A1 Telekom Austria— prefix 0664. The former state incumbent and largest operator by subscribers, part of the A1 Group (majority-owned by América Móvil). A1 also runs the Bob discount brand (0680) and yesss! (0681), which it bought from Orange Austria in 2013. A1 ranges are the most widely recognised on Austrian platforms.
• Magenta Telekom— prefixes 0676 and 0650. Deutsche Telekom's Austrian subsidiary, rebranded from T-Mobile Austria in 2019 after the UPC Austria merger. The 0650 range came from tele.ring, absorbed into T-Mobile in 2006.
• Drei (Hutchison Drei Austria)— prefixes 0660 and 0699. The third network operator, owned by CK Hutchison. The 0699 range is the legacy Orange Austria block Drei took over in 2013.
• HoT and spusu— prefix 0670. HoT (Hofer Telekom, sold through Hofer supermarkets, the Austrian Aldi) runs on the Magenta network. spusu, run by Mass Response, runs on Drei. Both are large enough that their ranges are accepted anywhere a standard Austrian mobile number is.

When entering an Austrian number on a verification platform, select Austria (+43) from the country dropdown and enter the number without the leading 0 or the +43 prefix — for example, 664 XXX XXXX for an A1 number.

Austrian Services That Work with These Numbers

• willhaben.at— Austria's dominant classifieds marketplace for used goods, cars, and property, with several million listings live at any time. willhaben requires a mobile number to post listings and to message sellers, and verifies it by SMS. This is the single most common reason a non-resident needs a +43 number.
• Lieferando Austria and foodora Austria— the two main food delivery apps (Lieferando from Just Eat Takeaway, foodora from Delivery Hero). Both send an SMS code at sign-up and use the number for courier contact.
• Geizhals— Austria's price comparison site, used across the German-speaking market. Account confirmation and price-alert notifications can be tied to a mobile number.
• ÖBB app— the Austrian Federal Railways ticketing app. Account creation accepts an Austrian mobile number for SMS confirmation; buying a ticket does not require ID Austria.
• Zalando AT— the Austrian storefront of Zalando. SMS is used for account security prompts and delivery notifications.
• Messaging — WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal
• Social media — Instagram, Facebook, Twitter/X, TikTok
• Google services — Gmail, Google Account, YouTube
• Finance— PayPal, Wise, Revolut. Austrian bank apps (George, Bank Austria MobileBanking, Raiffeisen Mein ELBA) require ID enrollment and are not covered.
• Gaming and entertainment — Discord, Steam, Spotify

What a Temporary +43 Number Cannot Do

Austria moved its digital identity from Handy-Signatur to ID Austria in December 2023. ID Austria requires enrollment at a registration office or by video identification with an Austrian passport, ID card, or residence permit. Once enrolled, the SMS-TAN or app confirmation is bound to that verified identity, not to whichever number receives a text. That has consequences for what a temporary number can complete:

• FinanzOnline— the tax portal logs in through ID Austria or credentials issued after identity checks. No path through SMS alone.
• Bank apps— Austrian banks perform KYC under the Financial Markets Anti-Money Laundering Act. Opening an account or activating a banking app requires a video-ident or branch visit.
• Government services via oesterreich.gv.at— ID Austria is the login.

Everything else on this page — willhaben, delivery apps, Geizhals, ÖBB, Zalando, and the global platforms — checks only that a +43 number can receive a code, which is exactly what a temporary number does.

Can a temp +43 number be used for ID Austria or FinanzOnline?

FinanzOnline, bank apps such as George (Erste Bank), Bank Austria MobileBanking, and Raiffeisen Mein ELBA, and any service that authenticates via ID Austria cannot be completed with a temporary number. Temp +43 numbers are for marketplace, delivery, retail, and app sign-ups only.
