How much data do I need for a week in Bulgaria?
It depends on how you use your phone. Light use (maps, messaging, browsing) takes about 0.5–1 GB a day; scrolling a lot of social video can take 2–3 GB or more. Typical use per hour:
- Instagram Reels, TikTok: 0.3–1 GB
- YouTube, Netflix at standard quality: 0.5–1 GB
- Video calls (WhatsApp, FaceTime): 0.5–1 GB
- Voice calls (WhatsApp, FaceTime Audio): 50–70 MB
- Maps and navigation: 2–6 MB
- Messaging and browsing: 50–150 MB
The cheapest Bulgaria plan with at least 5 GB for a week or longer is 5 GB for 30 days at $6.49.
Is there an unlimited data eSIM for Bulgaria?
Yes. Unlimited data plans for Bulgaria start at $7.99. Many unlimited plans slow down after a daily high-speed allowance, so check the fair-use terms on the plan page before you buy.
Do Bulgaria eSIMs support 5G and hotspot?
5G is available on 30 plans for Bulgaria, where the local network has 5G coverage; the others use 4G/LTE. Hotspot (tethering) works on every plan, so you can share your data with other devices.
Does a Bulgaria eSIM come with a phone number?
Most travel eSIMs, including most Bulgaria plans, are data-only and have no local number. You keep your usual number on your main SIM for calls, texts and WhatsApp. Plans that include a number or minutes say so on the plan page.
Will my phone work with a Bulgaria eSIM?
Yes, if it supports eSIM and is not locked to a carrier. To check, dial *#06#: if an EID number appears, your phone supports eSIM. Most iPhones from the XS/XR on, Galaxy S20 and later and Pixel 3 and later do, except most models sold in mainland China and some sold in Hong Kong and Macao.
Can I keep my own SIM and WhatsApp while using a Bulgaria eSIM?
Yes. Your eSIM and your main SIM can be active at the same time. Use the eSIM for mobile data with data roaming on for that line, and turn data roaming off on your home SIM to avoid charges. WhatsApp keeps working on your usual number.

What our customers say

Mentions BulgariaI used it smoothly and quickly in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Spain, and Bulgaria. Sparks connects to the most suitable network for your location at that moment, allowing for convenient use. Depending on your travel plans, annual options are very advantageous because it consumes very little internet data there, unlike in Türkiye.

Mentions BulgariaI have been using it for about 2 years and I am very satisfied. I used it in Greece, Bulgaria, and Romania, and I experienced internet speeds that I haven't seen in Turkey.

I faced some issues today with my eSIM, and they fixed it at the same time. I used this application on all my trips and they are great. By the way, they have very competitive prices

I loved it! I can have data wherever I go, they have many options, the data lasts a long time and is very affordable. I used the 3GB option for Europe and I've already had data for 15 days for €5. Honestly, if you manage it well and use it only when you don't have Wi-Fi, it can easily last you thirty days. I still have 1.6 GB left (half) and I have 10 days left on the plan. Highly recommended app for eSIM 💪

For our trip to China, South Korea, and Japan, my wife and I bought two 12GB data packages and used them without any problems. Their prices are much more reasonable compared to competitors; I definitely recommend them.

very convenient app to buy an eSim for travelling, you can choose the countries you need and have it in one pack, you can filter the options by the GB space and sort it by price, so it takes less time then just manually comparing different eSim apps. Local 5G internet works well
