eSIM for Bulgaria: prepaid data plans from $5.43

Coverage as you travel
In Sofia, Plovdiv or along the Black Sea coast near Varna, a travel eSIM connects your phone to a local network. It handles maps, transport, bookings and messaging over mobile data, whether you're city-sightseeing, on the beach or travelling between the two.
Install before you go
Set the eSIM up at home and it waits until you reach Bulgaria, then connects on landing. Your allowance starts at that point rather than at purchase, so there's no rush. Doing it early means skipping airport SIM stands and getting online as soon as you switch off flight mode.
Keep your number
The eSIM runs alongside your existing SIM, so your usual number stays reachable while your data runs over the eSIM. WhatsApp, Viber and apps tied to your number keep working just as they do at home, and your main line avoids any roaming charges.
FAQ
Will it work on the coast as well as in Sofia?
Yes. A travel eSIM uses local networks, so you'll have data in Sofia, along the Black Sea coast and on routes in between. Signal can be lighter in remote mountain areas, but resorts, towns and main roads are well covered.
When does the plan start?
Your data begins when the eSIM first connects to a network in Bulgaria, not when you buy it. That lets you install it in advance and arrive already online, with the allowance counting down only once you're there.
Can I keep using WhatsApp and Viber?
Yes. Both stay linked to your existing number and run over the eSIM's data, so your chats and calls continue without interruption. There's no need to register anything new while you're travelling.
