Prepaid plans

Yesss!

Yesss offers a prepaid GSM/UMTS SIM card called "Diskont-Surfen". The Download-Speed is around 1 MBit/s (Vienna, as of March 2011).Yesss uses the GSM1800/2100 UMTS Network from Orange. HSDPA and UMTS is available in big cities and mostly along highways. In Vienna not more than 50-150 kByte/s are achieved via HSDPA network in download direction, but ironically data transfer is faster in upload direction, as the network supports HSUPA. GPRS is very slow. EDGE support is rare and does not bring really much in comparison to plain GPRS. The network seems to be pretty heavy loaded.

Data pack 100 MB to use within 1 month € 3/ 4$

Power option 3 GB to use within 1 month € 20/ 28$
