Bulgaria Unlimited
Bulgaria Unlimited eSIM: Daily High-Speed Data That Never Cuts Off
Sofia airport at 5 AM, a six-hour layover in Plovdiv, then a night train to the coast—your travel day stretches eighteen hours across three waiting rooms. The eSIMno Bulgaria Unlimited plan gives you 1 GB of high-speed data every day, and when that runs out the connection drops to 128 Kbps instead of cutting off entirely. You stay online for maps, messages and boarding passes from first coffee to final platform.

How to Get Your eSIM
- Purchase Online
Select your validity (1, 3, 5 or 7 days) and complete checkout. Your QR code arrives by email within minutes. - Scan the QR Code
Open your phone's eSIM settings and scan the code. You can do this before you travel—the plan activates when you first connect to a Bulgarian network. - Enable Data Roaming
Turn on data roaming in your phone settings and select your new eSIM as the data line. You are now connected. - Stay Connected
Use your 1 GB of daily high-speed data. If you exceed it, the speed drops to 128 Kbps but the connection stays live until your plan expires.
How the Unlimited Plan Works
Each day you receive 1 GB of high-speed data on Telenor or Vivacom. Use it for whatever you need—navigation, uploads, video calls—until it runs out. Once the daily allowance is gone, the connection throttles to 128 Kbps. At that speed you can still load maps, send and receive messages, check email and browse text-based sites. Video streaming and VoIP calls will struggle or fail.
The daily quota resets at 00:00 UTC—that is a fixed moment in UTC, not midnight where you are, so check your phone's UTC offset if you plan around it. When the reset hits, your high-speed allowance refills automatically.
This is a data-only eSIM. There is no Bulgarian phone number attached, which means no voice calls and no SMS. Apps that use data for messaging—WhatsApp, Telegram, iMessage—work normally within the speed limits described above.
Staying Connected During Long Layovers
Is This Plan Right for You?
The Unlimited plan fits when: your travel day is long but your data use is moderate—messages, maps, email and the occasional photo upload. It suits transit days where you need a reliable trickle of connectivity more than a burst of speed, and where the peace of mind of never losing the connection outweighs the slowdown after 1 GB.
A standard data plan fits better when: you need to stream video, join video conferences or use heavy data throughout the day without throttling. It also fits trips longer than seven days, since the Unlimited family maxes out at one week and cannot be refilled. If your stay is eight days or more, explore the Bulgaria for plans with extended validity that match your trip length.
Traveller Tips
- Download offline maps of Bulgarian cities and transit routes before your trip—they work instantly even when throttled to 128 Kbps.
- Set messaging apps to low-data mode so images and videos load only on request, preserving your daily high-speed quota for navigation.
- The daily reset happens at 00:00 UTC; note your phone's UTC offset so you know roughly when fresh data arrives.
- Because this eSIM has no phone number, set up two-factor authentication apps to use authenticator codes rather than SMS before you travel.
- For trips longer than seven days, purchase a standard data plan with matching validity rather than buying consecutive Unlimited plans—simpler and often more economical.
- Keep your home SIM active for any services that require SMS verification; you can leave it installed alongside the eSIM.

Yes. Maps, text-based messaging and email work at 128 Kbps. Sending photos or loading image-heavy pages will be slow, and video streaming or VoIP calls will not perform well.
The longest Unlimited plan available is seven days. For longer trips, consider a standard Bulgaria data plan with extended validity instead of purchasing multiple Unlimited eSIMs.
The Bulgaria Unlimited eSIM delivers 1 GB of high-speed data each day on the Telenor and Vivacom networks. Once you use that daily allowance, the connection slows to 128 Kbps but never disconnects. At that reduced speed, maps load, messages send and email refreshes—but video streaming and voice calls over data will not work smoothly. This is a data-only plan with no phone number, no voice calls and no SMS capability.
This plan suits travellers whose days are long but whose data needs are moderate: checking transit schedules, responding to messages during layovers, confirming reservations while waiting. If you need to stream video, join video calls or use heavy data throughout the day, a standard data plan with a larger fixed allowance and no throttling may serve you better. The unlimited label means the connection persists, not that full speed persists.
The daily quota resets at 00:00 UTC—that is a fixed moment in UTC, not midnight where you are, so check your phone's UTC offset if you plan around it. Plans run from one to seven days; the line cannot be refilled or topped up, so when validity ends you purchase a new eSIM. For trips longer than a week, consider a standard data plan with extended validity rather than stringing multiple unlimited purchases together.
