“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.”

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 eSIMs that provide a phone number with inbound and outbound voice and SMS are available for use in Bulgaria. Providers such as GlobaleSIM, Orange Travel, Airhub, and RedEx eSIM offer plans that include telephony; the plans list a dialing code, voice capability, and SMS support. The GlobaleSIM and Roamify offerings use the +1 dialing code, meaning the phone number is issued from the United States, so the number is not local to Bulgaria. Orange Travel’s plans use a +48 code (Poland) and also provide inbound and outbound SMS, while Airhub and RedEx eSIM provide numbers under the Bulgarian +359 code, giving travelers a local number that works throughout the country. Prices for these plans start around $4.00 USD for a small data allowance and 7‑day validity and rise to roughly $35–$40 USD for larger data packages with 30‑day validity. Each provider lists data caps ranging from 1 GB to over 100 GB, allowing travelers to choose a plan that fits their data needs while retaining the ability to make calls and send SMS locally or internationally from their eSIM.
