“On the website they have misleading informations, for the package that I have purchased - 15 Days Unlimited Data Europe, on the same page it says it supports Austria, Hungary, Czech Republic, and also this countries are missing from the list of supported countries with flags.. I contacted support and they explicitly confirmed that it works there.
Once I reached the Hungary, I had no data, because my eSIM could connect only to 2G networks. I reached the support again but they told me that my eSIM is blocked due to misuse. But how can I connect with it to 2G then?! They didn't told me what was the misuse.
I asked for refund but they closed the chat thread, since I got the answer, but no service and for my work more importantly no internet.”

Yoho Mobile Hungary

“It does what it says on the tin. Good for messaging only, even pictures could be hard to transfer.
Websites are throttled down heavily so finding out about timetables can be an issue.
It's only good for those who can plan well ahead (offline maps, saved timetables etc.) and think about it like bridge between two WiFi hotspots.
Piecewise unbeatable though.”

Travelers should consider their expected data usage and the potential for speed throttling when choosing a plan.

What are the major mobile networks available for a travel eSIM in Hungary?

In Hungary, the primary Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) providing infrastructure for travel eSIMs are:

Magyar Telekom: The largest telecommunications company in Hungary, offering extensive 4G/LTE coverage and advanced 5G services.
Yettel: Formerly known as Telenor, Yettel provides comprehensive 4G/LTE and expanding 5G services across the country.
One: Previously operating as Vodafone Hungary, One delivers widespread 4G/LTE coverage and is actively developing its 5G network.

Additionally, Hungary hosts several Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs), such as Digi Mobil and Lycamobile. These MVNOs lease network access from the major carriers to offer their own mobile services. However, it's important to note that most travel eSIMs rely on the infrastructure of the primary MNOs rather than MVNOs.

Can I get a travel eSIM with a phone number and SMS for Hungary?

Yes, several travel eSIM plans for Hungary include a phone number that can receive and send SMS. Providers that offer these plans are GlobaleSIM and Orange Travel. Both use foreign dialing codes—GlobaleSIM provides numbers with the US / Canada code +1, while Orange Travel supplies Polish numbers with the code +48—so the numbers are not local Hungarian +36.

The plans give callers a full telephony experience: both providers offer inbound and outbound voice calls, and SMS can be sent and received (Orange Travel supports outbound SMS as well). Prices start around $4 USD for a 1 GB 7‑day plan with GlobaleSIM and around $5.99 USD for a 1 GB 7‑day plan with Orange Travel, with larger data options available up to 10 GB for about $20 USD, and validity periods ranging from 7 days to 30 days.
