Vodafone Hungary is a telecommunications company that began operations in 1999 after securing the third GSM 900/1800 MHz licence in Hungary. The company was launched by a consortium formed by V.R.A.M. and Primatel under the Vodafone brand. Initially, Vodafone Hungary used towers of its main competitors, Westel (now Telekom) and Pannon GSM (now Yettel), while their own network was available only in Budapest and other main cities. By the end of 2002, they had expanded to cover 90% of the country.

In 2018, Vodafone Hungary announced the acquisition of UPC Hungary, a major cable television operator in Hungary. The acquisition was finalised in August 2019 and by April 2020, the UPC brand was completely phased out, with all services rebranded to Vodafone Hungary. As of 31 January 2023, Vodafone Hungary is owned by Antenna Hungária (a subsidiary of 4iG) and Corvinus Nemzetközi Befektetési Zrt. (an investment company owned by the Hungarian State), with the companies owning 51% and 49% of the shares, respectively.
