I like esimdb and use it for all my esims worldwide, for a long time now. I do wish the navigation would become easier. So in the main overview I want to see details of 1 esim, and not go to the overview of the provider where I need to manually find the esim I saw in the overview.
Also I wish I could filter by provider (which doesn't always match the provider that you actually get). Everything else is great!

Airgun shows it will have A1 as provider but it is Yettel.

Airhub

Marcoused in Bulgaria 🇧🇬

The app offers no coverage in Bulgaria. There's no support available from the app. I would not recommend this provider.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many travel eSIM brands (providers) are available for use in Bulgaria, and how many prepaid data plans are there?

There are about 110 travel eSIM providers and around 6 100 prepaid data plans available for use in Bulgaria, offering a wide variety of options that make it easy for travelers to find an eSIM that suits their needs.

Are there any unlimited data eSIM plans available for Bulgaria?

Yes, unlimited data eSIM plans are available in Bulgaria from a number of operators. Providers such as Firsty, Yoho Mobile, Roamify, MicroEsim, Billion Connect, abesteSIM, Truely, Yesim, and Airhub all offer plans that do not impose a data cap. However, most of these plans include speed restrictions; for example, Firsty limits traffic to 256 kbps, while several others cap speeds at about 5 Mbps and note that speeds may be throttled after a period of use. The price range for these unlimited offerings varies from a free basic option to roughly $30 for a plan that is valid for five to ten days, depending on the provider and validity period. If choosing a plan, travelers should consider how the potential speed limits might affect their intended use and select a duration that covers their stay.

What are the major mobile networks available for a travel eSIM in Bulgaria?

In Bulgaria, the primary Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) are:

A1 Bulgaria: A subsidiary of the A1 Group, offering comprehensive mobile services, including voice, data, and messaging, with extensive 4G and 5G network coverage.
Vivacom: Part of the United Group, providing a wide range of mobile services and notable for launching Bulgaria's first 5G network in September 2020.
Yettel Bulgaria: Formerly known as Telenor Bulgaria, now owned by e& PPF Telecom Group, offering diverse mobile services with significant network coverage.

These MNOs own and operate the primary mobile network infrastructure in Bulgaria. While there are Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) in the country, they provide services by leasing access from these major carriers. Most travel eSIMs rely on the infrastructure of the MNOs rather than MVNOs.

Can I get a travel eSIM with a phone number and SMS for Bulgaria?

Yes, travel eSIM plans with a phone number and SMS are available for Bulgaria. Providers such as GlobaleSIM, Roamify, and SimOptions offer these options. GlobaleSIM supplies a number with dialing code +1, giving inbound and outbound voice calls and inbound SMS; Roamify and SimOptions provide numbers with dialing code +33, supporting inbound and outbound SMS as well as voice calls. Prices start at about $4.00 for a 1 GB, 7‑day plan and rise to roughly $50.00 for a 100 GB, 30‑day plan, while validity periods range from 7 to 30 days.

None of the listed plans use Bulgaria’s local dialing code +359, so the phone numbers will be from other countries (primarily the United States or France). The plans still deliver the requested telephony features, allowing you to receive and send SMS while traveling in Bulgaria.
