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.

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 roughly 110 providers and around 6 400 prepaid data plans available for use in Bulgaria. The wide variety of options makes it easy for travelers to find an eSIM that suits their needs.

Are there any unlimited data eSIM plans available for Bulgaria?

Unlimited data eSIM plans for Bulgaria are offered by several providers. These plans typically come with a 1‑day to 15‑day validity period and a price range that starts around $2.50 USD and goes up to about $30 USD. Most of the plans allow tethering, but expect some throttling or a speed limit (often around 5 Mbps) once you exceed a certain threshold. The network options include 4G, 5G, LTE and, in some cases, 3G coverage. This gives travelers flexibility to choose a plan that fits their budget while still providing no-usage‑cap data for the duration of 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?

Travel eSIMs that include a phone number and SMS functionality are available for use in Bulgaria. Providers such as Roamify offer Bulgaria‑specific plans with unlimited calling, 200 SMS (inbound and outbound) and a phone number using the +33 dialing code; the plans range from 15 GB to 100 GB and all have a 30‑day validity period with prices starting around $15. SimOptions supplies plans under the +420 dial code that include full voice and SMS support; these plans also start at about $18 USD and run for 30 days. MoreMins eSIM sells a UK‑numbered plan (+44) that includes both voice and SMS, with 35 GB of data for roughly $30 per month, valid for 30 days. GlobaleSIM also provides Bulgaria‑targeted packages; their offerings give a phone number with inbound voice and SMS and data ranging from 1 GB to 20 GB, but SMS support is inbound only and the dialing code is +1. All of these options allow travelers to place and receive calls and send and receive SMS messages while in Bulgaria, though the phone numbers are not local Bulgaria numbers; instead they use foreign dialing codes (+33, +420, +44, +1).
