Depending on which operator’s network the customer logs on, the operator informs the user in a text message when 80 percent of the data volume included in the package is reached. Additionally, using an application and the website available free of charge also from abroad (in case of Magyar Telekom customers on site www.telekom.hu/adatroaming) they can also check any time how many MBs they used of the data volume included in their data package, up to that given time.
