“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.”

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 more than 160 eSIM providers and over 11, 500 prepaid data plans available for Hungary, offering a wide range of options for travelers to find an eSIM that fits their usage and budget.

Are there any unlimited data eSIM plans available for Hungary?

Yes, several eSIM providers offer unlimited data plans for use in Hungary. The options range from very short‑term daily plans to multi‑week packages, with prices starting around USD 2.41 for a one‑day allowance and going up to roughly USD 36.92 for longer term covers. Most of the plans allow tethering but include the possibility of speed throttling; some specify a hard speed cap of 5‑10 Mbps, while others simply note that speeds may be reduced. All listed providers operate on 5G networks where available, ensuring good coverage across the country. Travelers should consider the duration of stay and expected data usage to choose a plan that provides enough data for their activities.

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 provide a phone number with both inbound and outbound voice and SMS are available for Hungary. Two of the providers supply a local Hungarian number with the dialing code +36, while the third provider offers a Polish number with dialing code +48 that can still be used from Hungary. The three providers are Orange Travel, RedEx eSIM and Airhub.

All of the listed plans support inbound and outbound voice calls and SMS, and the pricing starts around $6 USD for a small data package and rises to roughly $30–$35 USD for a larger 20–30 GB plan that also includes calls and texts. The Orange Travel plans use a Polish number, the RedEx eSIM and Airhub plans use a genuine Hungarian number, which may be preferable for local pricing and easier local contact.
