“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.”

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

Bulgaria Travel eSIM FAQ

Everything you need to know about using eSIMs in Bulgaria

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

In Bulgaria there are roughly 140 travel eSIM providers and over 9500 prepaid data plans, the large number of options means travelers can easily find a plan that fits their needs.

Are there any unlimited data eSIM plans available for Bulgaria?

Unlimited data eSIM plans are available for travelers heading to Bulgaria. Providers such as Firsty, Yoho Mobile, abesteSIM, Roamify, MicroEsim, Billion Connect, Truely, and Yesim all offer unlimited data with varying validity periods from one day up to fifteen days. Prices on the market start as low as $0.00 for the Firsty plan and go up to roughly $25.62, depending on provider and validity length.

Many of the unlimited plans come with a speed throttle; for example, Firsty limits speed to 256 kbps, while Yoho Mobile, abesteSIM, Roamify, MicroEsim, Billion Connect, Truely, and Yesim restrict speed to approximately 5 Mbps. Plan features across these providers include tethering capabilities, and most operate on 5G networks.

If you prefer a different data allowance or need higher speeds, consider selecting a plan with a larger data cap or a provider with higher speed guarantees.

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 – a number of travel eSIM providers offer plans that include a phone number and SMS support for use while visiting Bulgaria. Most of these plans use numbers from other countries, such as the US/Canada (+1) with GlobaleSIM, France (+33) with Roamify, Orange Travel and LinkeSIM, and Spain (+34) with Earth Esim. The available plans range from small data bundles of 1GB for a week to large packages of 500GB for up to 90 days, with prices starting around $4.00 for a 7‑day 1GB GlobaleSIM plan and climbing to about $120.00 for a 90‑day 500GB Roamify plan. All these options provide inbound and outbound voice, and either inbound only or inbound/outbound SMS, allowing you to make local calls and send texts from the eSIM while you travel in Bulgaria.
