Walkie Talkies or PAYG Bulgaria Sim Cards?

hey all! 4 days of work to go b4 Borovets on Sat with Stick & crew!

last year managed to run up a nice mobile bill calling mates up on the mountain when we kept loosing each other.

Does anyone know if you can buy Bulgarian pay as you go sim cards in Borovets anywhere?

bit late to ebay it now for us but those walkie talkies discussed on this post look good ...

hi Jillops, I heard on this forum that you can buy a sim card from the Samokov and the calls are cheaper than in England! Dont know how true this is but we are taking walkie talkies and buying sim cards.
3 sleeps and 2 breakfasts lol!

as long as your phones aren`t blocked u can buy m tel sim card for 15lev which includes 10 levs credit. Use mine all the time. Much cheaper.

Jue H. is there anywhere you can get credit over the counter for these sim cards or do you have to get a different sim card (and number) every time you finish your 10 lev credit?

use the walkie talkies, we did and they were fine ... not too much shared channel noise either ... it'll save you a lot of cash
