Buy eSIM data plans for Bulgaria
A Bulgaria eSIM is a prepaid mobile-data plan for your trip. Install it on a compatible, carrier-unlocked phone before departure, then select it as your data line within the plan's coverage area.
A Bulgaria eSIM is a prepaid data-only plan that switches on the moment you reach the terminal at Sofia Airport. Connecting to local networks from A1, Yettel and Vivacom, it gives you mobile data the instant you land, all on 5G where available and 4G everywhere else. Skip the roaming charges and the kiosk queues: step off the plane already online, ready to pull up maps, send messages home and order a ride. No physical SIM swap, no waiting for a counter to open, just data the moment your phone reconnects.

Frequently asked questions
Which mobile networks does the Bulgaria eSIM use?
The Bulgaria eSIM connects to local networks from A1, Yettel and Vivacom. It uses their 5G where it is available and falls back to 4G everywhere else, so your phone picks the best signal automatically without any manual setup.
How good is coverage on the Black Sea coast in summer?
Coverage is strong in the coastal resort towns and along the seafronts, which is where most summer travellers spend their time. As with anywhere, signal can thin out in very remote stretches away from the towns, but around the busy beach areas you should stay connected.
Will the eSIM work for a winter ski trip in the mountains?
Yes. You will have solid data in the mountain resort towns and around the lifts, which is enough for maps, lift info and messaging. Higher up on the slopes and in steep valleys the signal can vary, so download any trail maps before you set off.
I am visiting more than one Balkan or EU country. Should I still get this plan?
This is a Bulgaria-only plan, so it is the right choice if your whole trip stays inside Bulgaria. If you are crossing into other Balkan or EU countries on the same trip, pick a regional eSIM instead so a single plan covers all your stops.
When should I set up the eSIM before arriving in Bulgaria?
Install it at home over Wi-Fi a day or two before you travel, while you still have an internet connection. Then it is ready to switch on the moment you land at Sofia Airport, with no setup needed once you arrive and reconnect.
Can I keep my own number and use a hotspot in Bulgaria?
Yes. The eSIM runs alongside your regular SIM, so you keep your own number active for calls and texts while using the eSIM for data. You can also share that data as a hotspot to a laptop or a travel companion's phone if your device allows it.
