Magyar Telekom, one of Hungary’s largest mobile operators, will increase the price of its services from 1 March, as set out in its General Terms and Conditions, based on data from the Hungarian Central Statistical Office. The increase is not a small one. If you use Telekom’s services, mark your calendar and get your wallet ready.

Inflation-linked tarrif adjustment

Magyar Telekom will implement a 14.5 percent inflation-linked tariff adjustment from 1 March 2023. The news was announced by the company on Tuesday morning, hvg.hu reports. According to the company, the price increase is necessary due to the drastic rise in energy prices and supplier costs.

Telekom customers were informed about the expected tariff adjustment in their bill statement sent in July 2022. This provision was included in the General Terms and Conditions with effect from 1 September 2022. Based on this specification, the monthly subscription fees will change in line with the annual average consumer price index published by the Central Statistical Office (KSH) for the previous financial year.
