Due to unfavourable economic and market processes
experienced to date in 2012, Magyar Telekom has decided to
implement a gradual tariff change effective from September
and October, respectively. Telekom was designing the tariff
change with attention to the burden on its customers, was
aiming at transparency concerning the items of change and
its implementation and will not introduce significant new
tariff items.
The changes will match the varying characteristics of
mobile and fixed line as well as postpaid and prepaid
tariff packages and will retain the benefits and discounts
favoured by customers. For postpaid mobile packages the
change in monthly tariff will be mitigated by unchanged
minute and text message rates and conditions, while for
prepaid mobile packages there is no monthly charge but
minute charges will change. The monthly fees for fixed line
service packages will remain, even after the change, below
the price cap set by the regulator.
The gradual and partial tariff change effective from the
autumn has been made unavoidable by the unfavourable market
processes, the economic environment still lacking signs of
recovery, inflation remaining higher than expected, as well
as certain economic policy measures of the past period. At
the same time the partial tariff change does not mean that
the new telecommunications tax effective from July 2012
will be devolved to customers.
Parts of the tariff change:

charges will change from September 1, 2012. The monthly
