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.
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. |
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.
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.
Travelled around Bulgaria for two weeks with this eSIM. The connection was fast and stable the entire time. Two thumbs up from me.
Activated the eSIM as soon as I got to Bulgaria with zero hassle. I had strong signal in the cities and decent coverage in rural areas. Thank you for such a reliable service.
First eSIM I have ever bought and Bulgaria was the perfect test. Speeds were great for maps, messaging and streaming. Exactly as described, no surprises.

These instructions apply to Bulgaria eSIMs on iPhone and Android. Menu names may vary slightly by operating-system version and phone manufacturer.
A stable Wi-Fi connection is required to download the eSIM profile. Open the QR code on another device or print it before you begin.
After installation, keep the travel eSIM turned off until arrival if the plan should not start yet. Most plans connect automatically when they first reach a supported network in Bulgaria or the purchased coverage area.
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.
The most common cause is that the phone is still using the primary SIM for data or Data Roaming is disabled on the eSIM.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
