Mobile communication
European roaming
If you have a SIM card from any EU country – you can use it in Bulgaria at "home" rates of your company. No extra fees for roaming are not charged.
But sometimes it is more profitable to buy a SIM card of a local operator.
National mobile operators
Bulgaria has four national mobile operators:
- M-Tel
- Vivacom
- Telenor BG
- Max Telecom
They provide 2G and 3G networks.
Max Telecom works with the fourth generation network, it is the most expensive and popular.
Those who plan to spend enough time in Bulgaria – it is better to buy a local SIM card. Mobile communication in Bulgaria is quite expensive, but for calls to Russia there are special tariff plans – learn about them in mobile shops on the street car Simeon.
Owners of other European SIM cards can use their SIM cards at the "home" fees: additional charges for roaming in Europe will not be charged.
The choice of tariff
At the conclusion of the contract, you can choose – a card with a subscription fee, calls in which are relatively inexpensive, but you pay for a long period, or a tariff plan where you pay only for the time of the conversation.
When buying a SIM card, you do not need a passport.
