How quickly can I activate the eSIM after purchase?

You receive a QR code via email within minutes. Simply scan it on your eSIM-compatible device to activate—no waiting for a physical SIM card or a visit to a shop.

Will this plan work for phone calls and text messages?

No. This is a data-only eSIM. Voice calls and SMS are not supported. For those services, you'll need to use internet-based apps (WhatsApp, Viber, etc.) or purchase a separate SIM card for voice/SMS.

What if my device doesn't support eSIM?

Check your device's eSIM compatibility online or contact your home carrier before buying. Most devices sold in China and Hong Kong lack eSIM support. Refunds are not available for compatibility issues.

Can I share the data with other people?

Yes. The plan supports mobile hotspot, so you can tether your eSIM device and share data with travel companions' phones or tablets.

What network speeds can I expect in Bansko?

You'll connect to Bulgaria's major local mobile networks at 4G LTE or 5G speeds where available. Coverage is typically strong in town and along main roads, but may be spotty in remote mountain areas.

Is there a risk of auto-renewal or surprise charges?

No. This is a one-time prepaid package with no auto-renewals, contracts, or hidden fees. You pay once upfront and use the data until it expires or your 30 days end.
