Need an activated Hungarian SIM card

Nikola · **Need an activated Hungarian SIM card -** 17-03-2011, 16:07

I'm coming to Budapest in May for five days and would like to avoid Internet roaming charges. However, SIM card activation process takes days because all Hungarian operators require address verification via a letter.

Is anyone willing to sell me their old pre-paid SIM card? Preferably Telenor, but T-Mobile and Vodafone are fine as well.

If you can help me out, please PM me.

I'm not so sure about that, as mine were activated in minutes while I was at a Vodafone shop.

I don't think I can offer them though, as even if I can find them they have probably expired.

From my experience in October 2010 I can confirm for T-Mobile Hungary that registration and activation can be done in the official shops within minutes.
