“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.”

Hungary Travel eSIM FAQ

Everything you need to know about using eSIMs in Hungary

How many travel eSIM brands (providers) are available for use in Hungary, and how many prepaid data plans are there?

There are over 130 travel eSIM brands and more than 7400 prepaid data plans available for Hungary. With such a broad selection, travelers have many options to choose an eSIM that fits their data and budget requirements.

Are there any unlimited data eSIM plans available for Hungary?

Unlimited data eSIM plans for Hungary are available from several providers. Firsty offers a zero‑price, one‑day plan, while other operators such as Yoho Mobile, abesteSIM, Roamify, MicroEsim, Billion Connect, Truely, Yesim and FairPlay provide 1‑ to 30‑day options priced between roughly 0 USD and 30 USD. Most of these unlimited plans use 5G networks and allow tethering, but the speed is typically throttled—some limit the maximum speed to 5 Mbps, and Firsty’s plan caps it at 256 kbps. The overall price range for unlimited data plans in Hungary spans from free or a few dollars up to about 30 USD, giving travelers flexibility depending on their budget and length of stay.

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, travel eSIMs that include a phone number and SMS capability are available for Hungary. GlobaleSIM offers several bundles that give a voice number with dialing code +1 (United States) and inbound SMS; the plans range from 7 days to 30 days. Roamify supplies eSIMs with a voice number that uses dialing code +33 (France) and supports both inbound and outbound SMS, and these plans are available for 30 days. Both providers’ numbers are foreign, not local Hungary numbers with +36, so if a local Hungarian number is required, a different solution would be needed.

Prices for GlobaleSIM start at about $4.00 for a 1 GB 7‑day plan and climb to roughly $12.00 for 20 GB over 30 days. Roamify’s Hungary‑tied plans start near $15.00 for a 15 GB 30‑day bundle and can reach around $70.00 for 200 GB bundles, all of which include unlimited data, voice, and SMS where specified.
