Re: [Unicum] Cell Phone Purchase in Hungary

Everybody in my family has smart phones and we use an app called Viber (available for both iPhones and Androids). It's a free app, calls and texts are free. I can send images and short audio messages for free too. It's really great! It has a different ring tone, so I always know when I get calls from Hungary. ;) ErikaOn Fri, Jul 25, 2014 at 11:24 AM, Séamus Reverb <bela@opendog.org> wrote: Google is 2 cents...

Re: [Unicum] Cell Phone Purchase in Hungary

To call a Hungarian land line or a U.S. land or cell line for free, I use voipbuster. Once I put some money on it (I think the minimum is 10 Euros), you can call Hungarian land lines for free for a year. Calling a Hungarian cell phone is about 20 Euro cents per minute. I use it from a computer, so I don't know if the rates are different calling from a cell. Viktor -------------------------------------------- On Fri, 7/25/14,...

RE: [Unicum] Cell Phone Purchase in Hungary

A bit more info. T-Mobile has unlimited landline AND cell calls to Hungary for $15/mo. In Hungary, just about everyone uses a cell phone. Of course, if you call landline, Skype is cheaper at $6.99, because that plan is $10 at T-Mobile. T-Mobile’s rate per minute is 20c, which is lower than Skype’s and you can take your phone to Hungary and use it there for 20c/minute as well (no need to get it unlocked).

Re: [Unicum] Cell Phone Purchase in Hungary

Google is 2 cents a minute to landlines and 15 cents to cell phones. No subscription. Super easy apps for smart phones.My 2 cents ... and yours.

Re: [Unicum] Cell Phone Purchase in Hungary

Hi all,Now that we have this telecommunication discussion going, I was wondering if anyone has info on how to best call Hungarian cell numbers.For calling landlines in Hungary (from the US or anywhere, even within Hungary), the best structure I found is Skype's monthly subscription of unlimited calls to Hungarian landlines for $6.99/month - it works for our family and business but since Skype is now Microsoft, compatibility with...

Re: [Unicum] Cell Phone Purchase in Hungary

You guys make this so complicated.Here is a simple and free solution for free :)Download the Wassap application on your smart phone and look for places with a wi-fi connection wherever you are (Europe, Latin-America, Africa, etc). Skype and FaceTime works the same way. FaceTime is only on IPhones.Those are internet based applications, you don't need a phone service (with international lines). To call somebody you don't have...

RE: [Unicum] Cell Phone Purchase in Hungary

You are mixing up prepaid and billed services. Prepaid does not require a contract. Also, once you are already in Hungary, you can shop around, because various providers give you decent rates for the day or for the night. If you use your phone only after 6 pm, as far as I can recall, Vodafone gives you the best rates. When I lived in Hungary, I had two prepaid cards with two phones: one for the night (Vodafone; at the time...

Re: [Unicum] Cell Phone Purchase in Hungary

I just purchased an unlocked (new) phone at Media Markt, they have an extensive selection. There are also several GSM stores across Budapest with new and used/refurbished devices, some locked (you're bound to the original provider), some unlocked -- if the shop looks big enough, you're most likely safe, good places offer few months warranty on used phones. If you buy a refurbished phone, ask about the age of the battery,...
