Hungary's four leading telecom operators are contributing to recovery efforts related to the natural disaster striking Nógrád county in April.

Following their established tradition, Pannon GSM, T-Com, T-Mobile and Vodafone initiated joint action to help those in need. Calling or - in the case of mobile operators - sending a text message to helpline number 1749, their customers could donate HUF 200 per call/message to downpour victims. Initiating over 60,000 calls and messages in the less than three weeks between 27 April and 15 May, customers of the four operators donated HUF 11.8 million combined. This amount will be used and channelled directly to victims by the Hungarian Red Cross.

Pannon GSM, T-Com, T-Mobile and Vodafone hereby thank their customers for their selfless and generous support.
