Share with your laptop
Hotspot is allowed on the plan selected above, so a second device can use the same data in a cafe or a hotel room.

Hungary travel data guide
A Hungary eSIM from RoamZivo is a prepaid data plan for Hungary that you install before you fly. Plans in Hungary run on Telenor Hungary and Vodafone, with 5G where the operator offers it. The eSIM is data only, so your own SIM stays in for calls and texts.
There are 18 plans to choose from. Data sizes run from 1 GB to 50 GB, validity from 1 to 180 days, and prices start at $1.99. Unlimited plans are listed too, each with its own fair use line. Hotspot sharing is supported on every plan. Top ups are available on some of the fixed data plans and go onto the same eSIM.
Visiting more than one country? The Europe eSIM covers Hungary and 33 other countries on one plan, from $1.99. The Global eSIM covers Hungary and 126 other countries on one plan, from $18.99.
Your days start the first time the eSIM connects in Hungary, not when you buy, so you can install it at home days early. For a week of maps, messaging and social apps, most travellers are fine with 3 to 5 GB. Video calls or streaming need more, or an unlimited plan. Travel data in Hungary from RoamZivo arrives as a QR code by email, with a copy kept in your account.
Hungary FAQ
Does the eSIM work everywhere in Hungary?
It connects wherever Telenor Hungary and Vodafone have signal, which is the same network local customers use. The eSIM is data only.
When do my days start?
On the first connection in Hungary, not at purchase. The plan selected above (3 GB) runs for 15 days from that moment. You can install the eSIM at home and the clock stays still until you connect.
Do I get a local phone number in Hungary?
No. The eSIM is data only. Your own SIM stays in for calls and texts, and WhatsApp keeps working over the eSIM data.
Can I share data with my laptop?
Yes. Hotspot sharing is supported on the plan selected above, so your laptop or tablet can use the eSIM data through your phone.
Is there a Hungary eSIM that lasts longer than a month?
Yes, Hungary has a 50 GB plan valid for 180 days. It is the only plan here longer than 30 days. The days start counting when the eSIM first connects in Hungary, not when you buy it.
Which networks does the Hungary eSIM use?
In Hungary the eSIM uses Telenor Hungary or Vodafone, both listed as 5G on our plans. Your phone picks one automatically. A phone without 5G will still connect, just on an older network type.
Does the Europe plan cover Hungary?
Yes, the Europe regional plan includes Hungary, and the Global plan does as well. A regional plan makes sense when your trip includes other countries on its list. For Hungary alone, a plan from this page is enough.
I arrive in Hungary in three weeks. Can I install the eSIM now?
Yes. Install it over WiFi whenever you like, because the plan's days begin at the first connection to a network in Hungary. Just don't delete the eSIM from the phone in the meantime.
Do I need to remove my home SIM?
No, leave it in. The Hungary eSIM sits alongside your home SIM. Use the eSIM for mobile data and the home SIM for calls and SMS, with data roaming turned off on the home line.
Can I use the Hungary eSIM as a hotspot for studying?
Yes, hotspot is allowed on every Hungary plan. Bear in mind that a laptop on hotspot uses data quickly, so the 50 GB plan for 180 days will go faster than you expect if you rely on it daily.
What if my 50 GB runs out before the 180 days end?
The plan stops carrying data once the 50 GB is used, even if days remain. Some Hungary plans can be topped up, as the plan card shows. Otherwise you buy a new plan and install it.
How do I top up if I run low?
Open My eSIMs, pick this eSIM and choose a top up. It goes onto the same eSIM, so there is no new QR code to scan.
