Using the service near Hungary’s state border
One of the peculiarities of mobile Internet networks is that in state border regions sometimes the signal of a foreign service provider is stronger than that of the domestic provider. As a result, your modem or data card may connect to the network of the provider in the neighbouring country, which generates data traffic for which you have to pay a roaming fee. To avoid this situation, we recommend the following:
- If you live near the state border, request roaming barring when you purchase your mobile Internet subscription. This will help you avoid unintentional roaming use and high bills.
You can order roaming barring in our shops or via our customer service line (1220). - Another solution is to configure your modem software to manual (not automatic) network selection, which ensures that the device always connects to the Telenor network.
Telenor’s offering includes a new generation of data transfer devices that use pop-up windows after installation to show when you connect to a foreign network.
Further information
The service is available for postpaid and prepaid, as well as Új Generációs Kártyás (New Generation Prepaid) customers. You also need to have some kind of a GPRS-based WAP access, GPRS Internet or MMS service.
If you have call barring, you cannot use the above services.
