“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.”

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?

Bulgaria offers more than 160 travel eSIM providers and over 11, 500 prepaid data plans, giving travelers a wide variety of options to suit their needs.

Are there any unlimited data eSIM plans available for Bulgaria?

Unlimited data eSIM options exist for travelers visiting Bulgaria. Providers such as Roamify, MicroEsim, Yesim, Billion Connect, abesteSIM, Truely, Orange Travel, and FairPlay all offer plans that advertise no data caps, though many allow tethering and note that speeds may be throttled after a period of high‑usage usage or that a maximum speed limit (for example 10 Mbps) may apply. The validity periods for these offers range from 1 to 30 days, and the overall price range spans from around $2.49 up to $44.49 USD. Depending on your needs—whether you require extended stay coverage, a high‑speed connection, or the flexibility of a shorter validity— you can choose among these providers to match your anticipated data usage during the visit.

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 are available for use in Bulgaria. Most of the data‑only plans in the market use foreign dialing codes, such as +1, +33 or +34, so the phone number is not a local Bulgarian number. However, a few providers do offer plans that provide a Bulgarian +359 number with inbound and outbound voice and SMS.

Airhub and RedEx eSIM are two providers that supply a local +359 number. Airhub offers 15GB, 20GB, 30GB, 50GB and 100GB plans, all valid for 30 days, with voice and SMS both inbound and outbound. RedEx eSIM supplies a 20GB plan for 30 days, also with a +359 number and full voice/SMS support. Prices for these plans start around $24.00 and extend to about $37.00 for the largest Airhub offering.
