“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.”

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?

Several providers offer unlimited‑data eSIM options that can be used in Bulgaria, though many limit the maximum speed and potentially throttle traffic. The plans come in a range of prices, from a free $0.00 offering that advertises a speed limit of 256 kbps to paid options that cost up to about $18.48 for up to a week of use. Here are the key details for each supplier with an unlimited data package:

Firsty offers a zero‑cost unlimited plan lasting one day; the service includes ads and throttles speeds to 256 kbps.

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 provide a phone number and SMS service for Bulgaria are available from several providers, including GlobaleSIM, Orange Travel, and Roamify. These plans give you an active phone number that can receive and send voice calls and SMS, but the numbers are not local Bulgarian (+359) numbers; they use other country dialing codes such as +1 (United States) for GlobaleSIM and +33 (France) for Orange Travel and Roamify.

Typical pricing starts around $4.00 USD for a 1 GB 7‑day GlobaleSIM package and can rise to about $120.00 USD for a 500 GB plan, with validity periods ranging from 7 days to 90 days depending on the provider and the specific plan. Phone numbers from these eSIMs will appear as foreign when used in Bulgaria, so if a local number is required you may need to explore additional options.
