sim and call prices

hi after being stung for using the room phone

re: sim and call prices

In previous years, We have paid about 20 lev for a sim card and it has 15 lev of credit on it, Seems to last for ages when calling each other, texting each other and texting home. Just make sure your phone isnt locked to a single service provider. Contrary to popular belief you can get a contract phone unlocked and use a local sim for pay as you go

re: sim and call prices

i payed 8Lev in Bansko for sim. included 100mins and texts to a dedicated phone number on same provider(so good if 2parties going together to keep in touch) also 10lev worth of credit to all other numbers. phone does have to be unlocked. i have always had cintract phone but they have always taken any sim. check before you come out.

Strange question.

If you have 2 unlocked uk mobiles running Bulgarian sim cards do you still call each other with +44 before the number

Hi All

For anyone who has not got to Bulgaria and wants to call home I can advise the following.

If you are on a Vodafone get yourself the roaming package for free by calling 121

This means when you get to Bulgaria you get changed a 75p connection fee and then the rest of the call will be made using your included minutes.

So if you have say 600 minutes you could ring home for an hour (60 mins) for only 75p

Just a little tip

Ski Bean........ the answer is no, the bulgarian sim cards have a bulgarian phone numbers so they start with the bulgarian code..........which is (I seem to remember) +359
