“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?

There are roughly 140 travel eSIM providers and more than 9, 800 prepaid data plans available for use in Bulgaria. With so many options, travelers can easily find an eSIM that matches their specific needs and usage preferences.

Are there any unlimited data eSIM plans available for Bulgaria?

Unlimited data eSIM plans for Bulgaria are available from seven providers, all with a maximum speed limit and the possibility of throttling. Firsty offers a free $0.00 plan that includes ads, with a hard speed cap of 256 kbps. The remaining six providers—Yoho Mobile, abesteSIM, Roamify, MicroEsim, Truely, and Yesim—provide unlimited data that is typically capped at 5 Mbps and may be throttled during high‑traffic periods while supporting tethering. Prices for these plans range from about $2.00 to $17.50 USD, with the lowest paid option around $2.06 and the highest near $17.43. All plans are 5G and last between one and nine days depending on the provider.

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 eSIM plans that include a phone number and SMS for Bulgaria are offered by several providers listed in the dataset. GlobaleSIM provides a range of Bulgaria‑specific plans from 1 GB to 20 GB, lasting 7 to 30 days, with prices starting at $4 USD and topping out around $12 USD. Roamify offers Bulgaria‑named eSIMs with 15 GB up to 200 GB for 30 days, priced from $15 USD to $70 USD.

The phone numbers on these plans do not use the Bulgarian dialing code (+359). GlobaleSIM’s numbers carry the +1 code, and Roamify’s use +33, so they are foreign numbers that can still make inbound and outbound voice calls and receive SMS in Bulgaria, while Roamify also allows outbound SMS. Telephony on all included plans is fully supported, with inbound and outbound voice. Prices on GlobaleSIM vary roughly from $4 to $12 for up to 30 days, while Roamify’s range is $15 to $70 for the same period.
