Hi guys, I am looking to get a monthly contract for my sim, something in line with a "pay as you go".


Any recomendations?

You can do prepaid/PAYG or contract, as you prefer. Main options are A1, Vivacom, Yettel (Telenor). They all have websites with the services/prices available.


I have 2 mobile contracts + home fibre internet with Vivacom, I get one monthly bill for all services (72 leva), which seems like a pretty decent deal. But I've used A1 and Telenor in the past, so I can't say there's much to choose between them.

I can’t say I fully understand what we have, because it wasn’t until we visited a shop in a bigger town where someone spoke English that they explained this 😂but I know if we top up our A1 sim with 10 leva we get a load of data (plus minutes and texts) for 9 leva. The top up lasts for 30 days unless you use all the data.


I’ve never been able to top up online, we just go into the shop, but I can see my account in their App.


it’s how PAYG used to be in U.K. before SIM only

Nothing has changed, you still have PayG, Contract and SIM Only in the UK, that's pretty much how it is across Europe.

@SimCityAT  I haven’t had anything but pay monthly SIMs or standard contracts so I guess this arrangement in BG seems like a blast from the past for me.

I am the same as Helen, A1 payg sim which needs to be topped up in the shop monthly. Would be so good if you could do it online though

You can!

Oh! Please tell me how? I’ve scoured the app & it says you can only pay online if you have a monthly contract. Would make life much easier if I can

@Mel1702 I'm pretty sure you can top using epay.bg too

@SimCityAT For me its says "The service is not available to prepaid customers" when I want to top up online and provide my credit card details, both on the A1 website and in the app.
