eSIM for Bulgaria

Choose your package

Which eSIM plan for Bulgaria fits your trip?

Start with the length of your stay. Plans for Bulgaria run from 1 to 180 days, so a short city break and a longer stay on the coast or in the mountains are both covered. Then think about how you use your phone. Maps, messages and a few photos need far less data than video calls or streaming.

• Light use: a smaller plan suits maps, messages and checking bookings.
• Heavier use: plans go up to 50 GB for sharing photos, calls over apps and working on the go.
• No counting: an unlimited plan is also on sale if you would rather not track your data.

Prices start at USD 0.64, and every plan shows its price before you pay. If your trip runs longer than expected, you can check the data left and top up.

How to install your Bulgaria eSIM

Before you buy, make sure you have an eSIM-compatible phone that is unlocked. Our list of phones that support eSIM covers iPhone and Android models.

1. Pick your plan on this page and pay by card or Apple Pay.
2. Install the eSIM with the QR code or the one-tap install link you receive.
3. When you arrive in Bulgaria, turn on the eSIM for mobile data and switch on data roaming for it.

Installing a day or two before you fly saves time at the airport. The plan is there and ready, so you can order a taxi or message your hotel as soon as you land.

Can you still use WhatsApp with an eSIM?

Yes. Your Ahlano eSIM gives your phone data, and WhatsApp runs on data. Your account stays linked to your usual number, so your chats, groups and contacts carry on as normal. You can keep your home SIM in the phone as well and simply choose the eSIM for mobile data while you travel.

Travelling beyond Bulgaria?

Many trips to Bulgaria include a neighbouring country or a stop elsewhere on the continent. If your route crosses borders, a plan for Europe may suit you better than separate plans for each country. For a single stay in Bulgaria, a destination plan keeps things simple.

Crossing borders? Regional plans that include Bulgaria

• Europe From USD 3.06
• European Union and United Kingdom From USD 4.08
• Global From USD 1.02
