Is my phone compatible with eSIM?

Can I keep my regular phone number?

Yes! Your phone can use both your regular SIM and the eSIM simultaneously (Dual SIM). Keep your home number for calls and texts while using the Hungary eSIM for affordable mobile data.

How much data do I need for Hungary?

For typical travel usage (maps, messaging, social media, and occasional video), 1-2GB per day is enough. Light users need about 500MB-1GB per day. Choose a plan above that matches your trip length and usage.

Roaming in Hungary can cost €10-€15 per MB!

Travelers are often shocked by their phone bills after a trip. Without a local data plan, your carrier charges international roaming rates that can reach €10-€15 per megabyte , that's up to €10,000-€15,000 per gigabyte.

Data-heavy apps like Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube can consume hundreds of megabytes in minutes. Without an eSIM, your carrier's roaming fees could turn a simple social media session into a hundred-dollar expense.

Every year, travelers return home to unexpected bills of €200, €500, even €1,000 for just a few days abroad. Some carriers offer "travel passes" at €10-€15/day, but even those add up fast on longer trips.

With an eSIMpass data plan for Hungary, you pay a fraction of the cost. No bill shock. Just affordable, fast data from the moment you land.

Our Hungary eSIM connects to leading local operators providing 4G LTE and 5G coverage. Typical speeds are 20-100 Mbps download, enough for HD video streaming, video calls, and all apps.

Can I use my eSIM for hotspot/tethering?

Yes, you can use your eSIM as a hotspot to share data with other devices like laptops or tablets. Great for traveling with family or when you need to work remotely.

What happens if I run out of data?

Simply purchase another eSIM - there are no overage charges. You can also buy your next plan before your current one expires to ensure uninterrupted connectivity.

When should I install my Hungary eSIM?

We recommend installing your eSIM before you leave home while connected to WiFi. You can install it days in advance - the validity period only starts when you first connect to a network in Hungary.
