One of the market leaders (those who have been to Bulgaria probably remember its previous name - Globul) is Telenor. The rest of the members big three" - VivaCom and M-Tel.

The coverage area of all three is approximately the same, the quality is at the European level. Very often, towers are located in mountainous areas to ensure unhindered signal propagation. For example, on the mountains near Golden Sands, a favorite tourist resort, the signal is excellent.

Traditionally, tourists most actively use cards from Telenor and VivaCom due to comfortable connection prices. However, it is worth noting that today the prices for servicing Bulgarian operators have become significantly higher, gradually increasing after 2014, when the collapse of the ruble led to a rise in the price of the euro.

Where is the best place to buy a SIM card?

There is only one difference in terms of availability of purchasing SIM cards in Bulgaria and Russia: there are much fewer communication shops here. Therefore, the issue can be resolved right at the airport (have your passport ready). Branded kiosks of all three operators are present, at least, in the arrivals area in Burgas.

Cellular tariffs for tourists

Each of cellular companies countries have their own offer for arriving guests, each with its own nuances. But the cost is very reasonable in any case.

“Prima Vacancy+” from M-Tel: costs 6 levs (about 210 rubles), you can call for half an hour throughout Russia plus a 3G Internet package.
International tariff from VivaCom: the number of connection minutes varies depending on the nominal cost. For 6.2 leva - 25 min. (only to Russian landline numbers), in 20 - 100 minutes.
“Tourist” tariff from Telenor: the same 30 minutes as on “Vacancy”, but with a time limit - the tariff is valid for only 7 days. Price - 6 leva.

For comparison, roaming services Russian operators will cost you from 30 to 50 rubles. per minute of conversation. Accordingly, if you plan to be in touch quite often, the best choice would be to purchase a local SIM card with a prepaid package of minutes.

How to call Bulgaria from Russia

To call landline phone, you need to know the city prefix and use international code Bulgaria - 359. Calls to mobile phones in roaming are not modified, but if the call is made to the SIM card of local operators, the country code is added at the beginning of the dialed number.
