Bulgaria 3GB eSIM

For a short trip that relies mostly on hotel Wi-Fi, the 1 GB plan valid for 7 days at €0.27 is the cheapest listed option. If your holiday is about 2 weeks (14 days), the 3 GB plan valid for 15 days at €1.68 often gives the best value among the list because it costs the same as the 7-day version but adds 8 more days. The 50 GB cards both cost €25.12, but one lasts 30 days and the other 180; neither refills daily. Heavy YouTube use or video calls will eat through any of these totals quickly. These are practical recommendations, not a guarantee of exact data usage, so compare the full EUR cost against what your days actually include.

Listed networks: A1 Bulgaria, Vivacom Bulgaria. Connects to 4G/5G where the network offers it. Speeds and signal vary with your phone, location and network conditions.

You need an eSIM-capable phone that is unlocked for other networks. Confirm the exact model and where it was sold, then open the compatibility guide for manufacturer steps. On iPhone, Add eSIM lives in Cellular or Mobile Data settings; on Android, look under Network & internet, though the path differs by model. iOS and Android support can vary by regional variant, so check before you buy.

Add the profile over stable Wi-Fi and save the instructions before you fly. Follow your plan's activation steps; installing the profile and the start of its validity can be separate events, and the exact trigger depends on the instructions supplied with your plan. At the destination, enable the travel line and set it for mobile data. A QR code scan still takes a few minutes, so don't treat instant installation as a speed promise.

Your existing messaging accounts run on the travel eSIM's internet, including WhatsApp. The plan provides no local phone number and no ordinary calls or SMS. Bank verification texts still depend on your regular SIM, carrier and bank, so check home-carrier charges if you keep that line active.

The listed networks support hotspot. Any device you connect draws from the same data allowance. Every connected device pulls from the same allowance. Pause cloud backups and large software downloads while tethering, since a data hotspot shared with a laptop drains the total quickly.

No. Each eSIM card holds one fixed total for its stated validity. It isn't unlimited and doesn't renew daily, and hotspot use comes from that same total.

No. These offers cover Bulgaria only. A border crossing or an onward journey needs a plan that names the next country. Don't assume a local operator name extends the service beyond Bulgaria.

Size the allowance and validity to the whole trip before you buy. A second purchase doesn't automatically extend the first or move unused data, so follow its own setup steps. Use only the top up or profile-reuse options that come with your order; specific top-up amounts and payment methods are not confirmed here. These are one-off cards, not a monthly subscription, and 30 days is not always the same as one month.

Confirm you're in Bulgaria, the travel line is on and selected for mobile data, and the plan still has data and validity left. Apply the supplied roaming and APN instructions, then briefly toggle airplane mode or restart the phone. Move somewhere with better signal if needed, and keep the profile installed while you seek help.

Switch off automatic mobile-data switching and leave data roaming disabled on your home SIM. Any roaming setting the travel eSIM needs applies only to that line. Calls and texts on the home line can still trigger your carrier's charges.

Have the order reference, device model and install details ready when you contact support. Refund eligibility depends on the purchase conditions plus activation or usage, so read them before you buy. Keep the profile installed while a connection problem is looked into. The words "no contract" appear in searches, but that's a search phrase and not confirmed as a policy; check the purchase terms instead.
