Choosing the Best eSIM for Your Bulgaria Trip

Staying connected in Bulgaria is simple with NexaEsim. This guide helps you compare available data plans and network options to find the best fit for your travel needs, ensuring you have reliable internet access throughout your journey.

Bulgaria eSIM Plan Comparison

NexaEsim offers a variety of data plans for Bulgaria, categorized by how data is allocated: Fixed Total Data, Daily Data Allowance, and "Unlimited" plans with specific high-speed caps. All plans are data-only, do not require eKYC, and do not support top-ups based on the available information.

Plan Type Data Allowance Validity Post-Cap Speed Best For
Fixed Total Data Plans
Fixed Total Data 3 GB, 5 GB, 10 GB, 20 GB, 30 GB, 50 GB 3, 5, 7, 10, 15, 30 days 128 Kbps Short to medium trips (3-15 days) with light to moderate usage, or longer trips (20-30 days) with high data needs. Ideal for travelers who prefer a set data budget for their entire trip.
Daily Data Allowance Plans
Daily Data Allowance 500 MB/day, 1 GB/day, 2 GB/day, 3 GB/day 1 to 30 days 128 Kbps Travelers with consistent daily data needs, such as daily navigation, social media updates, and messaging. Suitable for short (1-3 days) to extended trips (30 days).
"Unlimited" Data Plans (with daily high-speed allowance)
"Unlimited" (2GB/day) 2 GB high-speed per day 1 to 30 days 5 Mbps Heavy data users who need continuous connectivity. After 2 GB of high-speed data per day, speeds reduce to 5 Mbps, which is suitable for standard web browsing, social media, and light video streaming.
"Unlimited" (1GB/day) 1 GB high-speed per day 1 to 30 days 10 Mbps Very heavy data users or those requiring faster throttled speeds. After 1 GB of high-speed data per day, speeds reduce to 10 Mbps, which supports smoother video calls, higher-quality streaming, and faster downloads than 5 Mbps.

Network Coverage and Carriers in Bulgaria

NexaEsim partners with leading mobile network operators in Bulgaria to provide extensive 4G and 5G connectivity. Our partner carriers include A1, mtel, and vivacom. These networks collectively offer coverage across major cities, tourist areas, and most populated regions of Bulgaria.

Country Partner Carrier(s) Supported Technology APN Setting
Bulgaria A1, mtel, vivacom 4G, 5G Orange

Important Note on Speed: While 4G and 5G technologies are supported by the partner carriers in Bulgaria, actual network speeds can vary. Factors such as your specific location within Bulgaria, network congestion, your device's capabilities, and the signal quality can all affect real-world performance. For optimal connectivity, your device should support the 4G and 5G bands used by A1, mtel, and vivacom.

Choosing the Right Plan for Your Travel Style

  • For Short Trips (1-3 days) and Light Use: Consider a Daily Data Allowance plan like 500 MB/day or 1 GB/day. These plans are cost-effective for basic navigation, messaging, and occasional social media updates.
  • For Longer Trips (7+ days) and Moderate Use: A Fixed Total Data plan (e.g., 5 GB or 10 GB for 7-10 days) or a Daily Data Allowance plan (e.g., 1 GB/day or 2 GB/day) provides a good balance of data and duration for regular browsing, social media, and some streaming.
  • For Navigation, Social Media, and Video Calls: The "Unlimited" plans are ideal. The "Unlimited" plan with 2 GB/day high-speed data, then 5 Mbps, is sufficient for most online activities. For smoother video calls and higher-quality streaming after your daily cap, the "Unlimited" plan with 1 GB/day high-speed data, then 10 Mbps, offers a better experience.
  • For High-Data Users (Streaming, Large Downloads, Digital Nomads): Opt for larger Fixed Total Data plans (e.g., 20 GB, 30 GB, or 50 GB for 15-30 days) or the "Unlimited" plans. These ensure you have ample data for extensive usage without worrying about running out.

Fair Usage Policy and Throttling

All NexaEsim plans for Bulgaria include a Fair Usage Policy (FUP) to ensure equitable network access. For Fixed Total Data and Daily Data Allowance plans, once your high-speed data is consumed (either the total allowance or the daily allowance), your speed will be reduced to 128 Kbps. This speed is generally sufficient for basic messaging and light web browsing.

For "Unlimited" data plans, a daily high-speed allowance applies (either 1 GB/day or 2 GB/day). After this daily cap, your speed will be reduced to either 5 Mbps or 10 Mbps, depending on the specific plan. The provided information does not specify an overall data cap for "unlimited" plans beyond the daily high-speed allowance, after which service might be suspended or further restricted.

Activation, APN, and Hotspot Details

  • Activation: Your NexaEsim Bulgaria plan activates automatically upon the first connection to a supported network in Bulgaria. This allows you to install your eSIM before you travel, and its validity period will only begin once you arrive and enable data roaming. For detailed installation steps, please refer to our Installation Guide.
  • APN Settings: The required Access Point Name (APN) for all our Bulgaria eSIM plans is "Orange". In most cases, your device will configure this automatically. If you experience connectivity issues, you may need to manually enter "Orange" as the APN in your phone's cellular settings. No username or password is required for the APN unless otherwise specified.
  • Hotspot Support: All NexaEsim Bulgaria plans support Wi-Fi sharing (hotspot/tethering), allowing you to share your data connection with other devices.

Important Considerations for Your Bulgaria Trip

  • Data-Only eSIM: NexaEsim Bulgaria plans are data-only. This means they do not include a local phone number for traditional voice calls or SMS messages. For communication, we recommend using Voice over IP (VoIP) apps such as WhatsApp, FaceTime, or Skype. These eSIMs also cannot receive One-Time Password (OTP) verification codes via SMS.
  • Top-Up Options: The provided information indicates that top-up options are not listed for these plans. If you anticipate needing more data, it is recommended to purchase a plan with a higher data allowance or longer validity upfront.
  • eKYC Requirements: No eKYC (electronic Know Your Customer) verification is required for any of the listed Bulgaria eSIM plans.
  • Connectivity in Bulgaria: Bulgaria generally offers good mobile connectivity, particularly in urban centers like Sofia, Plovdiv, Varna, and Burgas, as well as popular Black Sea resorts. However, coverage can be limited in very remote or mountainous regions. If you plan to visit isolated areas, consider downloading offline maps or content.

Fix an eSIM with no Internet or no network connection

Follow these steps in order so you change only one setting at a time. After each step, wait 30–60 seconds and check the signal indicator and Internet access again.

1Turn on eSIMLine is active
2Select data lineUse the correct eSIM
3Enable roamingFor the travel eSIM
4Refresh networkToggle Airplane Mode
The eSIM is installed but there is no Internet connection

The most common cause is that the phone is still using the primary SIM for data or Data Roaming is disabled on the eSIM.

  1. Confirm that the eSIM is enabled and selected for Cellular/Mobile Data.
  2. Enable Data Roaming on the travel eSIM. You do not need to enable roaming on your primary SIM.
  3. Turn off Wi-Fi, enable Airplane Mode for about 20 seconds, then turn it off and test mobile data.
  4. If the plan requires an APN, enter the APN shown in the email or plan details. Leave username and password blank unless instructed otherwise.
  5. Restart the phone and check that the plan still has validity and high-speed data remaining.
The phone shows “No Service” or cannot register on a network

Make sure you are in a country included in the plan. Open Network Selection, choose Automatic and wait 1–3 minutes.

If there is still no signal, turn off Automatic and try each supported carrier: A1, mtel, vivacom. Wait at least one minute after each selection.

No supported carrier appears in the network list

Move to an open area, toggle Airplane Mode, restart the device and search for networks manually again. Confirm that your current country is included in the exact plan you purchased.

If other SIMs also have no signal, local coverage may be the cause. Try another location before changing the APN or deleting the profile.

The QR code is invalid, already used or cannot add the eSIM

Make sure the phone has Wi-Fi, supports eSIM, is carrier-unlocked and the QR code was not installed on another device. Check the SIM list because the eSIM may already exist under Travel, Secondary or the provider name.

Do not keep scanning the code and do not delete an eSIM that already appears. Capture the error and contact support with your order number. Never post the QR code publicly.

There is signal, but the connection is slow or unstable

Check remaining high-speed data, switch between 5G Auto and 4G/LTE, and move away from basements, trains or crowded areas. Speed depends on the device, location, network load and plan policy.

Temporarily disable VPN or custom DNS apps. On a multi-country plan, network registration after crossing a border can take several minutes.

Should I delete and reinstall the eSIM when something goes wrong?

No. Many QR codes allow only one installation. Deleting the eSIM may make it impossible to reinstall. Keep the profile and contact NexaEsim before resetting network settings or deleting it.
