Unlock an A1 Mobilkom Austria iPhone
A1 Austria is the carrier behind most Austrian devices in the resale market. Its unlock is a premium-tier listing, which affects price and turnaround.
Last reviewed 2026-10-26
A1 (formerly A1 Mobilkom) is Austria's largest carrier and the one most Austrian devices report as. Its unlock is processed on a premium tier, which is why Austrian unlocks cost more than nearby markets.
Austria also has Magenta (the former T-Mobile Austria), Drei and Orange-era records, each with their own path.

Frequently asked questions
Why is the A1 unlock a premium service?
It is processed through a premium carrier channel with lower availability than the bulk European listings, so the price reflects supply.
Is A1 the same as T-Mobile Austria?
No. Magenta is the former T-Mobile Austria. A1 is the former A1 Mobilkom. They are separate records and separate listings.
Can I use an unlocked A1 phone in Germany?
Yes, once unlocked the device accepts any European SIM.
