Entering the home services segment, Telenor will launch home internet service called Telenor OtthonNet for consumers on its mobile network on 14 September. Providing unlimited data and home internet access, OtthonNet will be available to more than 1 million households upon its launch and its availability will be continuously expanded with further development.
Based on Telenor’s end-summer network report, customers generated network data traffic of more than 67 million GB and made voice calls of over 1.5bn minutes.
Coronavirus-related restrictions – and their release – as well as popular sports events impact mobile phone usage. Based on Telenor’s most recent end-summer network report, mobile internet usage has continued to rise relentlessly, while the number of voice calls was flat combined with an increase in airtime minutes. Following a huge decline in traffic in roaming zones 2 and 3 in 2020, traffic levels edged their way back to 66% of their previous level in summer 2021.
What have we learned from lockdown education in the past 18 months? What questions should you ask to capture students’ attention? What learnings to take with us from digital education to the future? These were some of the issues discussed by experts participating in the roundtable discussion of Telenor’s HiperSuli program on the brink of the new school year.
Campaign and design competition for threatened birds
Together with many other migratory birds, swallows also leave Hungary in the autumn. It is especially important to protect them, as they return to the same nest next spring that they now leave behind. The joint campaign of Telenor, the Hungarian Ornithological and Nature Conservation Society (MME) and Cellect Hungary focuses on the protection of barn swallows (Hirundo rustica) and house martins (Delichon urbicum) with a special emphasis on raising public awareness and sensitization. The awareness campaign will also include a design competition inviting graphic designs related to protected animals. The best three designs will be rewarded with high-value mobile handsets and the winning design will be used to create a limited edition 100% biodegradable, environmentally friendly mobile phone case.
13 episodes added to TudatosNet video series
Fake news, cyberbullying, fraudsters hiding behind fake profiles – these are some of the threats internet users might face in the online space. Telenor has added new episodes to its TudatosNet videos series to help recognize and address these threats. The education content useful for any age group helps parents and teachers encourage conversation with children about using digital devices. Telenor will also make new devices available for digital education at the beginning of the new school year.
Nearly three out of four shops are now dog-friendly
With nearly a hundred shops being dog-friendly across the country, Hungary makes the everyday lives of dog owners and their four-legged companions safer and more flexible. According to experts, Hungary’s dog-friendly culture shows the signs of improvement. Although it is still not common knowledge, leaving a dog alone in a public place is both illegal and may even cause an accident. As a result, it is important to have as many dog-friendly shops in Hungary as possible. This way, dog owners can do their shopping, run errands and walk their dog at the same time. Dog-friendly shops are marked with a sticker and they offer a water bowl and mat for dogs.
Samsung’s next generation smartphones open a window to a new world
Telenor accepts advance orders online for the two new premium handsets of the Samsung Galaxy Z series including Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3 5G and Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3 5G, until 26 August.
Help for separated parents and their children to keep in touch
One in two of Hungary’s 300,000 single-parent families struggle with financial difficulties. Their challenges include the recent multiple shifts between digital and classroom-based education due to either the lack of devices necessary for remote learning or that of appropriate internet access. As part of its agreement with the Single Parent Center, Telenor has launched a discount tariff to help single parents and their children keep in touch.
Accredited HiperSuli training now available online
The e-learning methodology course of the HiperSuli program is now available online. Participants can complete the fully online 30-hour training course at their own pace, with flexible timing. Participants not only gain valuable knowledge but they also get 30 credit points in teacher training.
The lady next door becomes comics hero
Having prepared the longest fan scarf in Hungary, Telenor now demonstrates the power of rooting with a unique comics. Judit Tondora, illustrator of Wonder Woman, has created a comics story featuring the residents of a condo using her own experience. Readers can easily recognize their neighbours or even themselves in the characters. The online comics is also available in a limited number of print copies to Telenor customers.
