Order and activation

Yepp subscribers must be private individuals with a valid address card and ID card issued by a Hungarian authority.

When you buy your Yepp subscription, you need to enter the mobile number you want to keep. After selecting the time window for number porting, we will start the number porting process. During the transition period, you will get a temporary number that you can use with your Yepp subscription. For a successful number porting your personal data need to match exactly with the data provided to your previous operator and the data in your documents. It is important that you shouldn't have any debts at your previous operator, if you do, you must settle these first. If your number porting request is rejected, contact us via chat.

If you already have a Yettel tariff, you can't switch to Yepp yet, but we're working on it.

At locations where Wolt is available, you can receive your order within 1 hour and you can live-track your order within the Yettel app through a provided link. If MPL is your courier and you ordered before 2:00 PM, your SIM will arrive the next business day and you can track your package status in the Yettel app. During purchase, you can also select a more suitable date.

If your carrier is MPL, you can change the delivery date and address via chat in the Yettel app. Unfortunately, with Wolt it’s not possible to change the address and time of delivery after the order.

If Wolt delivers your SIM, you need to enter a 4-digit code, which you can find in the app, but we also send it to you in an SMS. If your carrier is MPL, anyone you live with can receive the SIM at your address.

Identification in the app

The authentication is usually really quick, it requires only a minute.

IYes, you can change your data if something was not scanned precisely, except for your ID number, which cannot be modified for security reasons.

We process your personal data with the utmost care and in accordance with Hungarian and EU data protection and telecommunications legislation. The processing of your documents is automated with strictly limited personal access to protect your personal data. The detailed provisions of data processing (legal basis of processing, scope of processed data, duration of processing, data subject rights, rules of data transfer, etc.) are part of Annex 2 of the GTC and the terms of use of the Yettel app.

We make sure based on your selfie and the picture on your ID that the document is really yours. Try to take a similar picture to the one on your ID card. Keep your face out of the shade and check your camera to make sure it's clean and scratch-free. If it's not successful, you can retake your selfie.

You have to take a picture of your ID and take a selfie to identify yourself. This is how we make sure that you are a real person and that the ID is really yours. Everything will become clear during the process! :) We authenticate your documents, verify your identity and prepare the contract based on your data. We are required by law to check your personal data in the official register and if the provided data doesn’t match, you cannot proceed with the purchase.

The app makes sure you take an applicable photo, if it doesn't work for the first time, please try again. It's important that your ID stays in the frame and that it is in good condition, as we carry out security checks to prevent potential fraud. Don't give up, retake the picture a few times. If your ID is old or you look different than in your photo, you should try again with a new ID.


Payment and billing issues

You can buy add-ons when the monthly subscription fee is settled. If the automatic charging fails, check that you have sufficient balance on your account and that your credit card is still valid. If these are all in order, there may be a temporary outage at your bank or a technical problem at our end.
It is also possible that you closed the app before the previous checkout was completed, in which case it takes a little longer to finish the process, you can initiate the purchase again afterwards.

If you order add-ons during your billing cycle, you pay a pro-rated fee, but you still receive the full quota.

We do not store any credit card data. We use Barion's secure payment solution in our app which is internationally authenticated, certified and encryption-protected. Barion's secure system ensures the security of your credit card data.

We will charge your registered credit card automatically at each billing date, and you can also use it to pay for optional add-ons. The secure system of the Barion payment ensures the security of your credit card data and payment.
To use Yepp, you need to register your credit card. We simplified the purchase process, and thanks to the automatic charging, you don't have to worry about payment either.

Your monthly fee is charged on the billing date, the exact date can be found on the app home page. In case of an unsuccessful payment, we try again multiple times, but if we still can't charge the fee, you will no longer be able to use the plan and the add-ons. 
The ordered recurring add-ons are charge with your plan's monthly fee at the billing date. If you order add-ons during your billing cycle, you pay a pro-rated fee, but you still receive the full quota.

Transaction history is available in the Finances menu on the app, and you can find the invoices by the individual transactions.

There could be several reasons for unsuccessful payment. First, check that you have sufficient balance on your account and that your credit card is still valid. You may also need to authorise the transaction with your bank using 3D-secure identification. If the above-mentioned points are all in order, there may be a temporary outage at your bank or a technical problem at our end. In this case, we will try charging the monthly fee again. If you couldn't buy an add-on, you have to initate again.


What is Yepp about?

es, people can call you in Hungary, in the EU and in roaming zone 1 countries without a voice add-on, as long as you have an active subscription, which means that your plan's monthly fee was paid in advance and you haven't requested suspension.

In addition to your unlimited domestic data, you can buy one-time or renewable minutes, SMS or roaming add-ons in the app. You can order a new one, cancel the ones you no longer use or even replace the existing one with a larger or smaller one.

If your SIM card is delivered by MPL before 08.08.2024 or by Wolt, your physical SIM card's PIN and PUK codes are on the original packaging. If you didn’t keep the packaging or forgot the code you set, you can request it free of charge via chat or by calling our customer service at 1220. You should be careful with guessing the numbers, because if you try too many times, your SIM card will be blocked and you won't be able to use it. You have 3 attempts to enter the PIN and 10 attempts to enter the PUK code.
In case of eSIMs and physical SIM cards delivered by MPL after 08.08.2024, the PIN code is disabled, so your device doesn't ask for the code when you turn it on. To prevent the misuse of SIM cards, if you wish to enable the PIN code request, you can easily do so in your mobile's Settings menu. In case of a physical SIM you can find the PIN and PUK codes on the packaging, in case of an eSIM you can request the codes via chat or by contacting our customer service at 1220.
