Telenor/Djuice also offers EDGE. Vodafone does not, so if there is no UMTS coverage, only GPRS is available. It is useful to remember, especially if you are to use stick in a rural area. But generally speaking all three are usable. With some white spots on the map.

Thanks, good to know!

There are two interesting data options from Vodafone HU.

If you have a normal voice SIM, for daily 150 HUF you get 10 MB for a day. It is useful for checking your mail / surf some websites on your phone.

If you have the "Vodafone Instant Net" SIM in your modem, the daily ticket costs 590 HUF, but it gives you 300 MB for the day. Can be a good alternative for short stay visitors.
