Cheapest eSIM for Hungary: the numbers
As of 31 August 2026, 15:21 GMT, the cheapest eSIM for Hungary is eSIMCard with 100 GB for 31 Days at $35.41. That is $0.35 per GB, the best rate of the 168 plans we compare from 9 providers. 117 plans include 5G. 54 support top ups. That timestamp is the exact moment of our latest price check, and the table above always shows the live order.
Which mobile networks does Hungary have?
5G already covers about 85.6 percent of Hungary's population, with a national target of 99 percent by 2030. 4G is effectively universal on all three networks.
- Magyar Telekom: Magyar Telekom is the market leader with about 45 percent share and 5 million subscribers, and is generally rated best for rural coverage.
- Yettel: Yettel, the former Telenor, holds roughly 28 to 30 percent of the market and markets itself on network speed, with its 5G coverage reaching about 52 percent of the population.
- One: One is the former Vodafone Hungary, renamed on 1 January 2025 after the Vodafone and DIGI businesses merged under 4iG, and holds about 28 percent of the market.
Hungary has a small MVNO scene, but tourist SIMs and travel eSIMs all connect through the Magyar Telekom, Yettel or One networks.

Is 5G available in Hungary?
All three operators run 5G, strongest in Budapest and its surroundings, around Lake Balaton, in eastern Hungary and in the other major cities.
How much data do you need in Hungary?
Light use is about 500 MB a day. That covers maps, messages, and some browsing. Normal use with photos, social apps, and short videos runs 1 to 1.5 GB a day. Streaming and hotspot use can eat 2 to 3 GB a day. Here is what each size costs in Hungary right now:
Are unlimited eSIMs for Hungary really unlimited?
Not always. 29 of the plans above are sold as unlimited. Most unlimited travel plans have a fair use rule. You get full speed for a daily amount, often 1 to 5 GB, then the speed drops to around 1 Mbps until the next day. That is fine for messages and maps but slow for video. If you know how much data you use, a fixed plan with a low price per GB is usually the better deal. That is why we rank by price per GB and not by labels.
eSIM or a local SIM at the airport in Hungary?
An eSIM is ready before you land. No queue, no shop, no handing over your passport at a counter. Data for Hungary starts at $35.41 on this page, which is hard for airport kiosks to beat. A local SIM still makes sense if you need a local phone number or plan to stay for months. For a normal trip, the eSIM wins on price and effort.
Setting up your Hungary eSIM
Buy your planYou get a QR code by email within minutes of paying.
Install before you flyScan the QR code on wifi at home. Airport and hotel wifi can be weak.
Turn it on when you landEnable the eSIM and turn on data roaming for it, then give it a minute to find the network.
Check the validity clockSome plans start counting at purchase, not at first use. Check before you buy.
Good to know before you land in Hungary
Hungary requires ID registration for prepaid SIMs, and non residents need a photo ID and some paperwork, more friction than in most neighbouring countries.
Yettel is reliably available at Budapest airport, with physical SIM plans starting around 5 dollars for 1GB. Non resident registration paperwork can slow the purchase down, which is why many visitors just use an eSIM.
EU roam like at home applies, so EU SIM holders can skip a local SIM entirely. If you do want a local number, an eSIM avoids the registration queue.

Which networks will my eSIM connect to in Hungary?
The plans we compare connect to T-Mobile, Telenor Hungary, Vodafone. The exact network depends on the plan you pick. Check the plan details before you buy if one network matters to you.
Do Hungary eSIMs support 5G?
117 of the 168 plans we track for Hungary include 5G where the local network offers it. The rest run on 4G, which is still fine for maps, calls over apps, and video.
Can I top up my Hungary eSIM if I run out?
Yes. 54 of the 168 plans here support top ups, so you can add data without buying a new eSIM. The rest need a fresh plan once the data ends.
Will I still receive bank SMS and OTP codes?
Yes, if you keep your home SIM active. Travel eSIMs are data only. Your phone can hold both at once, so leave your normal SIM on for SMS and use the eSIM for data. Turn off roaming data on the home SIM to avoid charges.
Do these eSIMs include a phone number or calls?
The plans we compare are data only, so there is no local number. Calls work fine over WhatsApp, FaceTime, or any app that uses data. If you need a real local number, a local SIM is the better tool.
How many GB do I need for a week in Hungary?
Around 3 to 5 GB covers a week of maps, messaging, and normal browsing. Heavy video or hotspot use needs 1 to 2 GB per day. Today the cheapest plan with at least 5 GB is MegaEsim at $3.33.
