 ProSuli’s 5 tips for staying safe online this summer

Responsible internet use remains just as important during the summer holidays, especially as children’s daily routines become less structured. As always, the answer is not to ban internet use, but to have open conversations about topics such as the impact of staying on social media until the early hours on their natural sleep patterns, and how to create a shared sense of trust and safety online. Balázs Koren, Head of Yettel ProSuli, shares the key considerations and practical tips to help make the most carefree time of the year a smooth and enjoyable experience for children and parents alike.

Whether you're swimming or paddling on a SUP, enjoy the experience

Every year, the Balaton Crossing inspires tens of thousands of swimmers and stand-up paddleboarders to step outside their comfort zones. What should first-timers keep in mind? Why is enjoying the journey just as important as reaching the finish? And what makes the encouragement of spectators such a powerful force? Olympic swimmer Zsuzsanna Jakabos shares her advice and insights, drawing on her own experience as an elite athlete.

The sold-out 44th Lidl Lake Balaton Crossing swimming event will take place on 18 July. At one of Hungary’s and Europe’s oldest and largest open-water recreational sporting events, participants’ safety will be ensured by the world’s longest floating corridor across a lake. Built using military engineering techniques, the corridor stretches between the two shores of Lake Balaton.

Many Hungarians choose destinations within Europe for their summer holidays, where they can usually use their domestic mobile plan just as they would at home. However, travellers should be aware that a few European countries fall into roaming zones 2 or 3, where different charges apply.  Many fortunate travellers will also be heading to the FIFA World Cup in the United States, Canada or Mexico, where roaming charges differ from those at home. Yettel is ready to help customers stay connected, ensuring their mobile phone remains a reliable travel companion even at these special destinations.

Yettel aims to help affected customers stay in touch with their families and loved ones without incurring unexpected costs in the aftermath of the earthquake on 24 June 2026.

On 20 June (20.06), a date that matches Yettel’s official mobile prefix, the operator will stop counting data usage for the day. As a result, customers’ domestic mobile data traffic will not reduce their data allowances, giving everyone complete freedom to enjoy mobile internet.
