Possibly.


While the U.S. phone would undoubtedly still “work” at some level …


… it would be fitted-out with U.S. freq bands - some of which might not be used in Hungary; and NOT have other freq bands which ARE.


It’s always advisable to purchase a phone intended for the region in which it will be primarily operated.
