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?

In Bulgaria, more than 120 eSIM providers offer more than 7 000 prepaid data plans, giving travelers a wide variety of options that enable them to find an eSIM that matches their needs. This extensive selection ensures travelers can easily locate a suitable plan for their travel requirements.

Are there any unlimited data eSIM plans available for Bulgaria?

Unlimited data eSIM plans for Bulgaria can be found with several providers. Firsty offers a free daily plan that includes ads and a speed limit of 256 kbps, while Yoho Mobile, abesteSIM, Roamify, MicroEsim, Billion Connect, Truely, Yesim, and FairPlay all provide unlimited data for periods ranging from one day to thirty days. Most of these plans allow tethering, but speeds may be throttled to a maximum of 5 Mbps (except Firsty’s 256 kbps limit). The price range for unlimited options starts at $0.00 for Firsty’s free daily plan and goes up to about $26.23 for MicroEsim’s maximum‑validity plan, with most providers offering plans between $1.90 and $25.40. Travelers can choose a plan that fits their duration and data‑usage needs, keeping in mind the potential speed limitations.

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 provide a phone number and SMS service for Bulgaria are available from a few carriers. GlobaleSIM sells Bulgaria‑listed plans that use the U.S. dialing code +1, give inbound and outbound voice, and allow inbound SMS only; their lowest‑priced option is a 1GB plan for 7 days at $4.00 USD. Roamify offers Bulgaria eSIMs that use the French dialing code +33, provide inbound and outbound voice, and allow both inbound and outbound SMS; these start at a 15GB plan for 30 days priced at $15.00 USD.

Because none of the offered numbers carry Bulgaria’s own country code (+359), the phone numbers are foreign and not local Bulgarian numbers. Validity periods for these plans range from 7 days up to 30 days, with data allowances from 1GB to 70GB. Travelers can therefore obtain a phone number and SMS capability while staying in Bulgaria, though the number will be international rather than domestic.
