FAQ

Does an eSIM work in Bulgaria?

Yes. A Simply eSIM works in Bulgaria over 4G/5G networks covering Sofia, Plovdiv, Varna, and the coast. Install it before you travel and activate on arrival in seconds.

Is coverage good in the mountains?

Coverage is good in cities and along the coast, and can weaken on remote mountain trails and monasteries like the Rila heights. Download your maps before mountain tours.

Does my primary number keep working during the trip?

Yes. Your primary SIM stays in place and keeps receiving calls and bank verification messages as usual, while your data runs over the travel eSIM.

How much data do I need in Bulgaria?

For maps and messaging, 1-2 GB per day is enough. If you share lots of photos and video, pick a larger plan — you can always top up from the app.
