- iOS version: iOS 12.1 or newer for full eSIM support.
- Android version: Android 9 or newer typically supports eSIM, though it depends on the manufacturer.
- Region-specific variants: some Samsung models sold in Hong Kong or China are dual physical SIM with no eSIM , verify your specific model number.

It depends. Hungary is in the EU, so "Roam Like at Home" applies only to EU citizens.
- If you are from the UK (Post-Brexit): Most UK carriers (like O2, Vodafone, Three) have reintroduced daily roaming fees (e.g., £2-£6 per day).
- If you are from the USA/Canada/Asia: Your home carrier will charge expensive international rates (e.g., $10-$14 per day).
A Cellesim eSIM is a one-time prepaid fee that is significantly cheaper than these roaming charges.
This specific plan is valid only within Hungary (and the EU). This is the most important question for "Euro-trip" travelers. If you take a train from Budapest to Belgrade (Serbia) or Ukraine, your connection will stop at the border as they are not in the EU. For this multi-country trip, we highly recommend our Europe Regional eSIM, which covers both EU and non-EU Balkan countries.
Yes, 100%. Buying a physical local SIM card (like Magyar Telekom or Yettel) at Budapest Airport requires you to find the kiosk, wait in line, and go through a mandatory passport registration process as required by EU law. Our eSIM is 100% digital, requires no ID registration, and can be installed before you fly, so you are connected the moment you land.
To give you the best speed and coverage, our eSIM connects to Hungary’s premium Tier-1 networks, typically Magyar Telekom (T-Mobile) or Yettel (formerly Telenor). This ensures you get the fastest available 4G/LTE (and 5G) speeds, whether you are in Budapest or at Lake Balaton.
