“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.”

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?

Travel eSIM plans that include a phone number with SMS support are available for Hungary. GlobaleSIM offers local‑style service that provides a phone number that can receive calls and SMS, but the number uses the US dialing code +1 and outbound SMS is not supported. Orange Travel supplies true Hungarian numbers with the local dialing code +48, allowing inbound and outbound voice calls as well as both inbound and outbound SMS. Prices for these plans start around USD 4 for small data bundles with a 7‑day validity and rise to roughly USD 20–30 for larger 15–20 GB bundles that can last up to 30 days. Travelers should check the specific data cap and validity of each plan before purchasing.
