Do you have any recommendations regarding mobile phones? Did you keep your home-country plan or use a local provider?
I use Google Fi and it works perfectly. I know for us, when we got our internet package it does with one mobile line which we use as a spare one and in case we need to make local calls. - Jun 2023
We are a data intensive couple, and M-tel was amazing. Fairly cheap, rarely dropped signal, and easy payment methods. - Mar 2019
Cheap service, many choices. We've been happy. - May 2016
Local plans are great and cheap. - Dec 2014
Local providers. - Nov 2014
We use MTel and are very happy with it. For two cell phones + unlimited data, we pay 42 lev/month. (20 euros) - Aug 2014
There are three companies and they are all pretty bad and pretty expensive. Their customer service is terrible. Most people have M-Tel, which is owned by Vodafone. More people are switching to Globul, owned by a Greek company. - Jun 2011
Not other than that I seem to have a lot of difficulty with the Bulgarian ones. They are always breaking on me, but that's my personal experience. And customer service is not too efficient. Right now, they still have my phone and it's been a month, repairing it... - Oct 2009
M-Tel, Globul and Vivatel are the biggest companies. I recommend buying an unlocked cell phone and buying a GSM card and using pre-paid cards. - Feb 2008
