Coverage and networks

Bulgaria has three network operators: A1 (market leader), Vivacom and Yettel. The 4G network covers more than 99 percent of the population and 5G has been widely rolled out in cities such as Sofia, Plovdiv and Varna. In remote mountain areas such as the Rila and Pirin ranges, coverage can be weaker. Networks: A1, Vivacom, Yettel.

For a week-long city break or coastal holiday, 3 to 5 GB is usually enough; choose a larger bundle if you navigate a lot or share photos.

Bulgaria falls under the EU roaming rules, so your home bundle works there without surcharge; an eSIM is mainly attractive for extra data at a fixed price.
