Five things every parent should consider 

As Christmas approaches, many families will place a child’s first smartphone under the tree – a milestone gift that is both exciting and entails responsibility. It makes staying in touch easier and opens the door to the digital world. Yettel helps parents ensure that the surprise brings not only joy, but also responsibility and safety. It allows them to understand how to assess whether their child is ready, what kind of handset to choose, and how to create a safe and healthy digital environment.

Peter Jantosovic is Yettel's new CTIO

Peter Jantosovic will take on the role of Chief Technology & Information Officer (CTIO) at Yettel Hungary on 5 January 2026.

A perfectly imperfect holiday feels more human

Although Hungarians believe that avoiding conflict is the most important thing at Christmas, almost half of families still feel under pressure to make everything perfect. This is one of the key findings of Yettel’s latest nationwide survey. The results show that traditional dishes, spending time together, and the Christmas tree are all considered essential parts of the holiday. While most people enjoy sharing photos on social media at this time of year, half of Hungarians criticise Christmas posts that present an overly idyllic picture of the celebrations.   

From now on, more customers can help each other with Yettel’s gift, even during the Christmas rush

On 19 November, Yettel expanded its popular “Throw 1 Gig” service, which allows postpaid customers to gift other Yettel users 1GB of free data without using any of their own.

Judit joins Yettel with nearly 25 years of experience in communications, including the past 15 years as Head of Corporate Communications at Lidl Hungary. At Lidl, she oversaw corporate communications (PR), internal communications, CSR activities, and major corporate events. This experience ideally aligns with her role as Corporate Communications Director at Yettel.

Yettel publishes its sustainability report

How can a mobile network contribute to reducing social inequalities, and what does responsible technological operation mean from a sustainability perspective? Yettel Hungary’s latest sustainability report has been published, showcasing a 10-percentage-point increase in 5G network coverage, the collection and recycling of nearly twenty thousand pieces of electronic waste, and support for over 16,000 children in using the internet more responsibly.

The mobile operator launches a nationwide call for primary and secondary school students to apply

This year, Yettel is surprising primary and secondary schools with a unique festive initiative. The first 100 classes in Hungary to apply will receive a Christmas tree, leaving students with nothing to do but enjoy decorating it together – they can even enter a competition to win valuable prizes.

New research: what, how much, and how Hungarian families plan to gift this year
 
This year, Hungarians are planning to spend roughly the same on Christmas as they did last year, according to a recent nationwide, representative survey. The results show a decrease in the proportion of those planning to spend more, as well as less gift recipients and family members celebrating together. Practicality has become more important: while clothing, toys, and electronics continue to be the most popular product categories, the popularity of experience-based gifts has declined compared to previous years.
